Bloomers

Bloomers is the restaurant of the privately-owned Overcliffe Hotel, a Victorian villa on The Overcliffe in Gravesend. Set in a candlelit conservatory with an adjoining lounge bar, it serves classic European/British and French dishes cooked fresh to order using locally sourced produce, and is open to non-residents for dinner most evenings (typically not Sundays) plus Sunday lunch. The 29-bedroom hotel is convenient for Ebbsfleet International and Bluewater.

On Tripadvisor the restaurant holds roughly 4.0 out of 5 from around 39 reviews, with feedback that is polarised: admirers describe a romantic candlelit setting with well-presented food and good service, while some critical reviews complain of inconsistent quality and service. Many third-party review pages are dated and unclaimed, so menu and hours are best confirmed directly with the hotel.
