Metallica are playing the London Stadium
You’re 90 seconds from the gates, with a riverside terrace overlooking the ground, a beer in your hand and a burger on the table. We’ll send you in when you’re ready.
The pre-show package at Draughts Stratford, right on the banks of the River Lea inside Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. 90 minutes of bottomless beer, any burger with a side, and full access to our game library. Closer to the show than anyone else, and nowhere to queue.
Not affiliated with or endorsed by Metallica or London Stadium. An independent pre-show offer at Draughts Stratford
Draughts x Metallica: Pre-Show Package Friday 3rd and Sunday 5th July 2026 available at Draughts Stratford only.
£45 per person includes:

We’re not a grab-and-go counter. You get a table, you order properly, and you get drinks brought to you.
Our kitchen runs a full menu built for sharing, settling in, and fuelling up before a big night. Think loaded nachos, burgers, wings, and plenty more – the kind of food that works when you’re with a group and the drinks are flowing.

Here’s something every concert-goer knows but nobody plans for. The moment the last note hits, 80,000 people all try to leave at once. Stratford station becomes a scrum. Everyone’s tired and hungry and slightly deaf.
Walk straight from the stadium to our door. Grab a drink, sit down, let the crowds thin out, and actually talk about what you just saw.
After a three-hour Metallica show with pyrotechnics and a setlist spanning 40 years of thrash metal, you’re going to want somewhere to decompress – not a packed train carriage.






We had an absolutely fab time here today. Ambience, food and choice of games were excellent. We were so well looked after. As a board game fan, we can say this is a really great place to have a good time 🙂 will be back soon!
