DINING OUT
Hythe Bay
Hythe Bay in Deal can be found right on the
seafront, so it is the ideal place to relax and
enjoy some gorgeous food and drink after a
long day of exploring. The speciality at Hythe
Bay is seafood, which should come as no
surprise given its location, but it’s not just the
food that makes this place special; the
atmosphere and the service are both just as
good. The food on the menu includes grilled
sardines served devilled or plain with fresh
lemon; Hythe Bay fish pie with minted petits
pois; pan-fried, corn-fed chicken breast served
with sweet potato mash, vegetables and salsa
verde; and traditional bread and butter
pudding.
Victuals & Co
This attractive, friendly restaurant prides itself
on serving fresh and different food to its
patrons, specialising in putting a twist on the
traditional. The ingredients for an excellent
restaurant are great food, great service and a
great environment, which have certainly
combined here to produce a superb dining
experience. Dishes include pan-fried cod fillet
with chunky chips; duck rillettes with wild
pickled mushrooms; and brownie with white
chocolate and lavender ice cream.
The Dining Club
For the last seven years, the Dining Club has
been wowing patrons in Deal with its
innovative food and clever flavours. What
makes it really stand out from the rest is that
when you book a table, you are actually
booking a private dining room, so you feel a
little as though you are attending a dinner
party. There are different themes running
through the menu depending on when you

pork belly with chorizo bubble and squeak;
