Pubs in Deal

“Often camping nearby, I have bypassed this pub many a time in desperation to get to the beach, but recently called in on the off-chance of getting a roast. The welcome was warm and friendly, with plenty of friendly village locals having a Sunday catch up. The roast menu was succinct (but in my experience that is not a bad thing) I got the impression that the meats were sourced locally - lamb, turkey and beef on the day. We both had the beef and it wasn't what we are used to in London (half alive and God forbid if you asked for medium) This was proper old school big joint of beef, carved like your mum used to, and being a bit of a bone broth nerd, I could tell this was real gravy - and lots of it! The horseradish sauce came in a pot big enough to scoop out a few dessert spoonfuls if we wanted too - none of that one squirt in a paper mini cup. Whoever is hidden away in the kitchen has been doing this, and doing this well for a very long time I suspect, not giving in to any 'jus' and 'foamed celeriac' trends. Whatever had been done with the parsnips was divine - I think it might have been the slow cooking and a bit of honey. The puddings on the board sounded like the ones you would also get at home - comforting and satisfying, but unfortunately, there was no room at the inn after the main! Must add that we had a fabulous bottle of red for under £20 that would have easily been £30 back in London!”

“Thank you for providing my walking group with quality food , good service and a pleasant lunchtime atmosphere. It was nice to come to a traditional pub as opposed to a Gastro one.
Thanks a lot .

“What an amazing pub! The owners and staff obviously really care about this pub and have done a wonderful job at making it a really welcoming place. They let our children make their own pizzas, which were really delicious. The beers were also great. Thank you for a great couple of visits on our holiday!Kid-friendliness: Our kids were invited to cook their own pizza, we've never experienced that in a pub before, was very, very nice to feel so welcome!”

“Love this place. There is no bar. Sit at a table, the changing range of available ales are indicated on the wall and they are brought to you by table service. All ales were well kept. It’s quite small and very sociable.”

“What a great find an old school boozer with a great atmosphere. Good selection on tap and the staff always makes you feel welcome. Highly recommend and will definitely return”

“Came for a swift pint. I wish I had time for a few more. Staff have always been nice and the other punters are always friendly and chatty, so you never feel that you ate alone. Be back soon!”

“The rooms were clean but a little sparse. The pub was well placed in a rural area and had excellent food and pleasant surroundings.”

“Great pub friendly staff and great atmosphere had such a great time there definitely worth a visit.”
