You must visit this cafe. When I saw reviews saying 'best breakfast ever' I was sure it was an exaggeration. It wasn't. Friendly service, a menu full of very tasty options, my whole table was very impressed with the taste, presentation and portion size of their brunch.

Staying in the area for the weekend and after seeing the reviews and recommendations from friends of friends, we opted for Pier Kitchen for a late lunch. They also allow dogs in, so it was a no brainer. Let me say, we were not disappointed in the locations, the staff, who were superb and the food. We highly recommend the lobster & Crab roll.

My recent visit to Deal Street Kitchen was nothing short of splendid. Nestled in a charming location, the restaurant boasts not only fabulous views but also an inviting atmosphere. The staff were absolutely delightful—attentive, warm, and professional, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was catered to with grace and ease. The food, of course, was exquisite—each dish brimming with flavour and thoughtfully curated. My only minor quibble was that, for the price, I had expected a touch more finesse in the presentation of my dish. That said, it in no way detracted from the overall enjoyment of the meal. I am already eagerly anticipating my next visit. Without a doubt, Deal Street Kitchen is a wonderful dining spot that I highly recommend!

Great little place. Had low expectations of an “end-of-pier cafe” but this is excellent. Had the Lobster and Crayfish Benedict which was delicious. Good coffee and great service in this modern cafe with wonderful sea views. Dogs welcome and good for families too.

Stayed here for one night last week (2 adults and 1 child). Very friendly staff. The room was ready for us on arrival, it was clean, spacious and bright and very calming looking over the church across the road. Food was delicious, we had dinner and breakfast here, free parking outside. A really straight forward & pleasant stay, nothing was to much trouble. Also the neighbours cat who likes to pop in was very cute!

What a lovely place! Visiting from up north for a family event. The staff could not have been more welcoming after our 5 hour journey. The room was fantastic. Finished off well. Comfy bed and plenty of space. Even the church bells were not a problem (thanks for the warning at check in!). Breakfast can make or break a hotel stay, but the breakfast and service was as fantastic as everything else. What a gem!! We will be back soon for sure.

Had a wonderful mid week break here, owners made us feel so welcome from the beginning, the staff were attentive and couldn't do enough for you (big shout out to Katherine) especially when asked for an off list cocktail and hand picked mint herself from the garden! The room was gorgeous spotlessly clean with added personal touches you just can't get in chain hotels. The village was beautiful and the locals very friendly, location was perfect nice and quiet but 10 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Deal seafront would highly recommend and will absolutely visit again fantastic value for money too. Thank you.

We visited the Blue Pigeons in worth for lunch and were very impressed with the total upgrade of the building. We did not visit the rooms but the restaurant and bar were very cosy, and noted a very substantial garden for summer time drinks at the garden bar. We will be returning again to this venue for maybe an overnight stay with dinner.

Fantastic breakfast to start the weekend. It’s a beautiful setting and we loved the dishes, in particular the American pancakes, savoury, sweet and satisfying.
Rating: 5 / 5
I had breakfast at the Lane for the first time today after my partner had been with some friends for lunch and loved it, i was so excited and the breakfast definitely did not disappoint. The pancakes and coffee were delicious, the service was super quick and friendly and I would love to come and try some of the items on their new menu too !

I went with a friend to the Grinch Afternoon tea. I've been to several of the afternoon teas.. not reviewed till now. I've made a point of doing it today as it was once again a 'can't stop smiling' experience. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. The menu is lovely and so creative. It's the attention to detail that I always love so much. Even down to things like the 'ice' shard and the little tart with the lane grinch logo on. Each afternoon tea is obviously well planned out and any dietary adjustments are made so they still fit the theme. You get so much for your money and I love that you can box up and take home the rest. The drinks are also never ending, very generous and you are never rushed even when you can tell they are getting ready for another sitting. (Happened on another occasion- a friend and I had chatted for so long we were the only ones left. The staff were still really friendly and chatty, answering random questions I had.) There is beautiful decorations everywhere which are hand painted and details galore. A really nice touch was a candy cane on the grinch plate and there is always a puzzle on every table. To the team, keep doing what you're doing, you're bringing a lot of joy, cleshay yes but true, its very much appreciated. To anyone else, pick a theme you like and get booked in.

There is nothing about this bar/hotel that doesn’t warrant five stars. The food, the location, the service and the atmosphere was all on point. Can’t wait to visit again. Special shout out to Aaron and Izzy, those two don’t stop!

Been here many times. Great open square that overlooks the sea. It is shared with another pub/restaurant which gives two choices of menu. The kitchen works very hard to get good food out as fast as they can. Today was very busy and they still served us within 40 mins - the staff told me before they took the order, so no dramas! Had a long beer watching the world go by whilst waiting. Also gazed at all the other food choices as each table was served - they all look great. Ours was the standard seaside fare of fish and chips. Fat and juicy fish, triple cooked chunky chips and loads of oetis pois; and the King's Head burger - a great portion fries, good quality bap and very large burger (other half struggled 🤣). Good service by the team. We will return.
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely pub, very busy, good ale. Visited twice, whilst on a break. Major busy as football was being shown. Had an amazing Sunday roast, one of the best I've ever had. Roast beef, as everything else was sold out, but that's to be expected as it was gone five. You can't tip by card as the don't accept tips by card, only cash. Staff were bright, fun and engaging.

Excellent breakfast and a great place to drink..had a great few days there so would like to thank all at the Kings Head and look forward to returning in the future.

We discovered this little gem in Deal to celebrate our anniversary. The outside of the pub is beautiful with colourful flowers and it’s really inviting. We were greeted by a lovely young guy who helped us to check in and even offered to take our bags for us as we would be staying in room 7 at the top of the hotel. We had a lovely spacious room with en suite. It has a spectacular view of the pier. I’ve only given it a 4 (please bear in mind we loved our room these are just tips to make the room a 5). One of the lamps in our room wasn’t working, which we reported to one of the staff at the bar, but what would be so helpful would be a couple of USB sockets in the room. We forgot our chargers so weren’t able to charge our phones (obviously our fault entirely) but maybe something to think about for future guests. The breakfast was lovely, fresh and hot. All of the staff were amazing, it’s been a long time since I’ve been to somewhere where everyone was simply kind, friendly and helpful, they are a credit to you. Thank you for making our stay a really enjoyable one. We’ll definitely be back and we’ll definitely recommend you to anyone who asks.

One of the best restaurants we tried in Deal. Food was exceptional, service very good, and a great atmosphere. The staff were willing to adjust the meals, to suit dietary requirements without a problem. Prices are very reasonable, and there are some good beers available.

Arrived at this friendly, intimate place after a long drive from Hampshire. We were so impressed with the knowledgeable, hands on service and the quality of the food. The sea bass and catch of the day were perfectly cooked. My son's steak was the exact temperature. It was so amazing to have the ability to eat as well as relax after our journey in the more than capable hands of the staff here at 81 Beach Street. Divine!

Lovely evening, delicious food. We both had the crab starter, I had the fresh sea bream, husband had the burger. Friendly staff especially our 18 year old male waiter. 😁

An absolute 5 star experience! 81 Beach Street was our first meal out on our trip to Deal from India, and it absolutely did not disappoint. We loved the food so much, we ate here twice! The food was fresh and tasted great. Honestly such perfect dishes. The ambience was nice and cosy. The servers were so helpful and polite. Cannot wait to be back again. Highly recommend!

Rating: 4.6 (581) Price Level:
Wow! This place was just fantastic. I drive past The Coach daily and have never ventured in. Last night, I went with my husband and some friends. The atmosphere was lovely and cosy. They have both restaurant and drinking areas for when you just want to have a drink. The menu was excellent, and there were lots of gluten-free options available. The food was presented well and was delicious. The staff were very friendly and very attentive. They had a good range of beers, spirits, and wines and were happy to put everything on a tab to pay at the end of the evening. We had 3 courses plus drinks and per person, averaged at £45 a head, so not too pricey either. Definitely somewhere I will be returning to. Just one point to remember, they are a cashless venue and only accept card transactions, which these days shouldn't be a problem.

Super cozy pub with great food, served with a smile. I’d recommend the beer battered haddock! Thanks to Isabel who served us.
Rating: 4 / 5
The service here was really good, we were greeted nicely and the staff were all very kind. I do think the roast dinner was overpriced for what we received. The chicken was dry and is on the bone (this isn't stated on the menu) and the roast sirloin is only two thin slices. The potatoes are not crispy and slightly hard. The vegetables were cooked nicely, gravy was nice, and the desserts also looked lovely. I would return but wouldn't order the roast dinner again.

Visited today for Sunday roast. The food was plentiful and piping hot. Great selection of vegetables to accompany the pork and beef. Cooked to perfection. Amazing banana cheesecake. Great service as always from the front of house team. Well worth a visit.

This is a warm friendly place and the delicious coffee adds many points to it. Unfortunately, the curried lentil soup was far too spicy for us and the salad plate we didn’t enjoy- strong flavours that clashed, in my opinion. But the cheese toastie was lovely, dessert was amazing and so was the coffee. Staff are helpful and very friendly.

Jazzy eggs were absolutely delicious. Coffee is excellent.

Vegetarian cafe. Breakfast was not huge but didn't leave me hungry, and was very well presented and tasty. Likewise with the coffee: a fairly small cup but extremely tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Rating: 5 / 5
Absolutely outstanding breakfast.. Full English was delicious. My photo shows a modified one as I swapped out the beans and hash browns for extra bacon. Bacon is the best ever. Turns out its sourced locally. Ambience is great. Decor is cosmopolitan. Loos are clean and smartly decorated. WiFi is free and solid fast signal. Let’s not forget the staff who are friendly, efficient and attentive. Parking is available opposite free! Early birds need to be there on opening as places fill swiftly.

This was a smashing, little place to eat. It's only a small place looking out across the green and the water. We were staying a few miles away that didn't serve breakfast, in fact, they weren't offering any food whatsoever. We heard about this place from a local lady about a mile up the road from Goose on the Green. The food was freshly made, good value too. The young girls that were waiting on were very pleasant, and the service was good despite them being rather busy. Parking was easy, it was all along the front right there on the road, so you only had a few steps to walk. If ever we were in this area again, we would definitely go and eat there. Would definitely recommend The Goose on the Green 💚

Excellent Veggie (customisable) breakfast, cooked well and fresh, with generous portions and a nice selection of items. Gluten free and Vegan friendly, kid friendly, pets allowed, inclusive seating- what more can you ask for? Excellent service is part of the Deal (literally!) and the coffee is to die for. Definitely recommend and the best part is that they are one of the few places open early by 8am if you’re doing an early morning walk.

Updown Farmhouse, Updown Rd, Betteshanger, Deal CT14 0EF, UK | Restaurant P: 07842 244192
Rating: 4.6 (153) Price Level:
A genuinely friendly welcome and service can improve the dullest of venues, but Updown isn't dull. We visited for just one night and weren't able to take full advantage of the gardens, but appreciated the ambience that must be excellent in balmier times. The rooms were spotless and well supplied and we enjoyed the library and bar areas also; we just needed a longer stay to exploit all the facilites. Dinner was superb, as was the continental breakfast. One star was deducted (because there's no half) for additional service charges at food and drinks. Like another reviewer I'd prefer to tip separately.

We had a wonderful stay at Updown Farmhouse on Sunday evening. We had Sunday lunch in the restaurant which was beyond amazing, totally recommend the roast lamb👌🏻there was also a magician called Josh who came round whilst we were eating, he was absolutely fantastic, so much so we took his card in case have an event, he would be a welcome addition to any function. We stayed in the farmhouse, room 3, which was beautiful, comfy bed and so spacious. Fabulous breakfast the next morning, a true 5⭐️ stay for us. Highly recommend to anyone. Thank you for making us so very welcome.

lovely short break close to DEAL, first time we had visited and glad we chose the Updown Hotel to stay. Easy parking and a nice place to just chill. We were in one of the cottages which was lovely. The staff were really nice and friendly although the chef could perhaps have taken a few happy pills as he didn't engage with any of the guests which is a shame. It was very busy in the restaurant for dinner which they must have been pleased about as it was a Wednesday evening. We would recommend it and would happily go there again and recommend to friends. Wednesday night was steak night but I made the wrong choice as mine was a bit chewy so I didn't do it justice.

Wow - what a treat! We stayed for the weekend at the gatehouse and enjoyed dinner on saturday night and a roast on Sunday. The food was great and the rooms / main house are beautiful and comfortable spaces. We were so well looked after by all the staff, in particular by Lia and the restaurant staff. We were visiting with our 1-year old who was made to feel very welcome. I would really recommend Updown for a getaway weekend - great for relaxing and recharging in the countryside, and enjoying some great food and cocktails. Thanks for having us - we will be back!
