Restaurants and bars on board
Table of Contents
Dinner: buffet or Brasserie
Once the ship has sailed in the evening, dinner comes first. Pride of Hull and Pride of Rotterdam each have two restaurants:
- The Kitchen is the buffet restaurant, where you help yourself to whatever you like. For families and anyone who wants to eat quickly, it is the easiest choice.
- The Brasserie is the restaurant with table service and a menu. Dinner here takes longer and makes more of an evening of it.
The restaurants open in the evening after departure and in the morning before arrival. The exact opening times are given on board.
Booking in advance
You can book dinner and breakfast together with your crossing. That way there is nothing to sort out on board, and you know beforehand what the evening will cost. On busy summer evenings in particular, it is easier than queuing at the till.
Bars and the evening on board
After dinner the evening spreads across several bars: the Show Bar with its entertainment, an Irish Bar, the Sky Lounge and the Sun Deck & Lobby Bar. If you would rather watch a film, there is the cinema, and there is also a casino and a duty free shop. Children have their own area. The Pride of Rotterdam and Pride of Hull page has more about the ships.
Coffee and snacks
For coffee, tea and a snack in between, there is Costa Coffee on board. It is also the quick option in the morning if all you want before leaving the ship is a coffee.
Breakfast before arrival
The ferry reaches Europoort in the morning; on the way home, it arrives in Hull early in the morning. Breakfast is served before the ship docks, so you can leave the ship well fed and carry straight on. Allow enough time, because the vehicle decks are called shortly before arrival. The getting there page explains what happens after docking and how to travel on.
Food on the mini cruise
On the mini cruise from Hull you spend two nights on board, so you have dinner twice and breakfast twice. That makes booking your meals in advance especially worthwhile. The mini cruise page explains how the trip works.
