We live locally and have been quite a few times.Obviously food is the main thing and it's fantastic. Really interesting too.But I think the point to note is it's such a different experience from a standard restaurant. Like having a chef's taster menu, lots of small courses and you choose to go on a night where the menu is up your street.Really though, the fun is having dishes cooked and brought to you that you might not have chosen. It's so interesting trying new combinations . You feel exceptionally well looked after throughout. A bit like going to a really good chef's house for a dinner party I suppose.Very reasonable for what it is and the hard work that's gone in to every menu.Do yourself a favour, get a list of menus, choose a night that suits you, and have a wonderful treat of an evening.

Fabulous fishy Sunday lunch. Every time we go, we enjoy it more and more. Always different and interesting flavours. Thank you everyone for another wonderful meal

We went for a Sunday lunch and we absolutely loved it. We were made to feel welcome and the food was amazing. You can eat in a room on your own to make it an intimate experience or a room for ten and make it an ideal dinner party for you. The food was absolutely perfect, customer service was friendly and I will be returning

The Dining Club catered for our wedding. Proving food for over 50 sit down guests, plus extra for evening menu. We are so glad we chose the Dining Club. They were very flexible in terms of menu from day one and happy to adjust products to suit our choices. They provided lots of extras and helped make our venue look amazing. We had nothing but praise from our guests about the quality of the food and friendly professional staff who served us. Cannot praise Susanne, Scott and their wonderful team enough. If we hold any large events again they will definitely be our first choice. Thanks team.

Wanted an experience for newly married couple(cancelled through COVID ) so rearranged to 20.05.23 and deserved a nice honeymoon as had a child since first wedding planned. Contacted about 5 days before getting any response from them to say they could not accommodate. Left us with not enough time to arrange an alternative.

This is the second time we have eaten here and the food was superb - every dish was delicious and cooked to perfection. Staff are lovely, too.

Absolutely wonderful. As relatively recent arrivals to this part of Kent, we have had the pleasure of visiting The Dining Club in Deal on three occasions in the last few weeks and each visit has been absolutely wonderful. From the ease of booking and warm welcome from Suzanne and team to the minute you leave the dining experience is absolutely wonderful. The recent Sushi pop up was fab and then last night’s top billing, in my opinion, was a straight fight between the sumptuous cream of portobello soup and the main course of baked cod en papillote. But each and every menu is a flavour fiesta. The Dining Club in Deal is a must. Wonderful food, wonderful service, and wonderful value. Absolutely wonderful.

Wow, just wow!I absolutely loved my experience at Dining Club.Such a warm, welcoming restaurant with food that I have been thinking about since my visit (Scottie’s dishes have even inspired me to try making his dinners myself)If you’re looking for a dining experience to remember, with a fresh, delicious menu that changes with the seasons then I highly recommend ??????
Just a fantastic evening.Everything was thought of and done professionally. Excellent menu ours was nose to tail. Such good value. Left glowing, which is very rare in uk these days.

As usual the food was delicious and the staff are always attentive and friendly. I love the atmosphere here as it’s very cosy . The restaurant is made up of various rooms some small and intimate, others slightly larger but all nicely decorated and welcoming. The choice of menus are exciting and well planned . I really like the way everyone sits at the same time and is served at the same time as this makes the service very efficient. Also great that you can take your own wine x

Chose as a Birthday celebration for two. Hit the mark on every level of taste,quality, service,price, atmosphere. Partner raved over every course in the Nose to Tail menu. I finally appreciated Truffle & Garlic in the Egg Mousse and Garlic & almond Soup. Our bottle of Champagne was placed in an ice bucket and our bottle of red lasted perfectly with the meal. Marvelous setting for a meal for two (We were in Green Room) or for a party in larger rooms. The organisation of the whole evening was impeccable from arrival and departure for a full house with dishes arriving and clearing smoothly. I hope to return later in the year with a small party. They can be very proud of this establishment and can thoroughly recommend and hope they never expand and keep it soooo unique.

This place is amazing! Wasn't sure what to expect, but the staff were very attentive, and the food was delicious. Even though it's being your own booze, the service that is offered to accommodate your needs is excellent. Would definitely recommend becoming a member.
