Attractions
Enjoying your stay in Deal is our top priority. Dining out is easy from By the Beach. Within walking distance there are numerous restaurants and pubs offering delicious menus for all occasions.
We are happy to recommend the ideal venue for your needs, reserve your table and order taxis should a gentle seaside stroll not appeal.
For exploring Deal by day The Black Douglas is a must for delicious coffee, homemade cakes, including wheat free and light lunches too. Alternatively, try a hint of the Mediterranean at Miretti's Italian Patisserie.
To give you a flavour of evening options, dining under the stars is a year round treat at The Courtyard Oyster Bar and Restaurant; themed evenings are an option at Oregano; ‘fine food without the fuss’ is paramount at 81 Beach Street and dining South African style is a choice at the Chequers Restaurant alongside the Royal Cinque Port Golf Course.
