About us

Passionately Local

Just a few minutes walk from Deal train station and a stone's throw from the the iconic Deal Pier & beach, we first opened our doors in 2004 by passionate local chef Jim Cleaver, and after more than 2 decades, we're beyond proud to have become a much-loved local favourite.

Deal Seafront

A published review by  Jabin Ali at Inigo:

"81 Beach Street arguably has the best view of the Deal seafront – and its fare is just as impressive. Order the panko-breaded squid with lemon-and-saffron mayo to start, or the potted crab on charred sourdough. Then watch the sun set on the horizon as you finish with a peanut butter and banana parfait, or the lemon posset matched with thyme, pink gin and ginger."
