About 81 Beach Street

81 Beach Street sits on the seafront in Deal, serving Modern British food with a European edge from a simply decorated dining room. Recurring dishes include scallops, mussels served as a Mussel-Pot, venison, and fillet steak, alongside Sunday roasts finished with cauliflower cheese and a jug of gravy on the side. A fixed price set lunch runs to two or three courses, with an a la carte menu offered at dinner. A gluten free menu is clearly marked, and dairy free options can be requested. Beers are poured on tap or served bottled from the fridge. The restaurant opens daily and takes walk-ins rather than reservations, with a server assigned to each table.

    “pleasant dinning experience. Fair price and good potion of food”
  • Lara Visagie
    “The food and the service was exceptional. Our server Georgia was just wonderful. The Crispy Chicken starter, Mussel-Pot main and Creme Brule were my personal favourites. Also found the ladies restroom to be very thoughtful, with deodorants, dry-shampoo and wipes available, which were life savers after exploring the White Cliffs of Dover in the middle of the heatwave prior to our lunch booking. I can't recommend this restaurant enough, and I cannot wait to visit again! And thank you for making my birthday extra special.”
  • Dan Calladine
    “A nice restaurant on the seafront. A good a la carte menu, and also a fixed price lunch menu with options of two or three courses. Some nice beers too, including beers on tap and bottles from the fridge.”

Customer Review Summary

Scallops and mussels come up most often at this seaside restaurant, with diners praising the scallops starter, the Mussel-Pot main and the fresh ingredients. Close behind are the roast dinners at Sunday supper, described as huge and well executed, with a jug of gravy and cauliflower cheese on the side. Others single out the crispy chicken starter, chicken supreme, venison, fillet steak, lemon cheesecake and creme brulee, along with mock tails and a bottle of Fleurie. Reviewers describe friendly, chatty staff and a meal with no rush, and several mention generous portions, a well marked gluten free menu with dairy free catered on request, and a lunch set menu they call good value. The one recurring-style complaint is small: a reviewer who ate here both nights of a weekend found the burger a little dry. A thoughtful touch several remember is the ladies restroom stocked with deodorant, dry shampoo and wipes.
