The Dining Club in Dover

The Dining Club is less a restaurant and more an intimate dining experience. You choose from a carefully curated menu and eat the always delicious food in the nooks and crannies of this Georgian, wonderfully atmospheric building. Every room has a different vibe making it a different experience each time. Scottie and Suzanne really have done something amazing with this space. And they support local businesses too, both with their food sourcing and room hire. I host a monthly meet-up for late-diagnosed adults with ADHD here. And there are pop-up events and workshops throughout the year. Thank you, Suzanne and Scottie, the Dining Club is such an asset to Deal 🙏❤️

Love going to dine here. The food is an eclectic mix and the staff are wonderful and attentive.

The Dining Club Deal. Membership is required if trying to book in advance. Otherwise, during our visit, we were able to pay a 50% deposit prior to attending, which suited us. The food was OK, but did seem to lack in taste, seasoning and perhaps adventure. We had hoped for something a little better than we were served. We had walked past the restaurant several times over the years and menus often looked nice displayed on the window. It is a small venue and where we sat, we were rather close to the next table, so trying to talk, was a little awkward for us. It was a nice restaurant to visit as a one off event and something we had been trying to do for some time. Our meal that night was £43 each + drinks. Staff were pleasant and friendly.

We celebrated a very special family 80th birthday here. Suzanne and Scottie served up an incredible lunch in a very relaxed style, enabling us to take our time and enjoy making a special fuss of the birthday boy! They were also able to cater for our family's varied and tricky dietary needs without compromising the fabulous meal. Despite this being quite tricky, they did this without any fuss, enabling all to have a wonderful time. Highly recommended with the added bonus of BYO making a memorable occasion also very affordable.

My husband and I have been to the Deal Dining Club twice now and it is absolutely wonderful! It is held in a delightful cottage in one of the pretty lanes in Deal. The greeting from Suzanne and her team is so warm and friendly. The service and food is exceptional - utterly delicious 5-course meals - I’ve no idea how they make their soups so sublime! We really have had the most fabulous evenings here. The first a lovely dinner for me and my husband, and then a fabulous dinner for 6 last Friday - which was such fun - sorry if we were a little noisy and late in leaving! We’ve lived in London for 42 years and have recently moved to Deal and are so thrilled that we’ve discovers the DDC (thanks so much Steve Elliot!). Can’t wait to go back soon for a friend’s 60th - if you haven’t discovered it yet you really must - it’s wonderful! Thank you so much Suzanne & Scottie

We held our daughter’s wedding reception at the dining club, it only seats 43 people but if you’re looking for an exclusive wedding reception venue then I would definitely recommend. The service was excellent, Suzanne & her staff looked after us so well we even had Prosecco & canapés served on the Beach nearby before the wedding reception. Food was outstanding, they never disappoint! The ambiance of the venue added to a very memorable & successful day! Thank you dining club.

Great Food, Great hosts, Great Service, Great atmosphere, Great value. What more could you possibly want? In a area with more than it's fair share of good eateries The Deal Dining Club is a stand out venue which we heartily recommend to everybody,

We have been to the Dining Club several times and always had a great experience: great food in charming surroundings. Our latest visit was exceptional. A seafood feast. Every course was so different and so delicious. I can’t recommend the Dining Club enough and have never regretted the modest membership subscription. In fact, as a members dining club, this makes the place very friendly and welcoming.

Amazing food, gorgeous ambience, great service, all for an incredible price!

Fantastic meal- the Fish themed evening. What a variety! Tuna sushi with wasabi mayonnaise, spider crab soup, monkfish scampi, mango parfait....Superb pairings of flavours, beautifully cooked...another hit of a meal. Lovely surroundings, attentive service, excellent value - what more could you want?

A lovely experience, not Michelin Star quality but excellent nevertheless, without havingvto travel too far.

A real gem. A cosy, friendly venue with attentive staff. Food was outstanding. Spent nearly 5 hours at a birthday celebration in a totally relaxed venue. Perfect!

The food is superb. The atmosphere relaxed. The value beyond belief. The Dining Club has been on my list to visit for years: I'm kicking myself for leaving it this long. Definitely revisiting. Love it!

Lovely food with a twist and intimate dining room setting

I loved the food it was very nice . The staff was very nice and friendly . I like the area it's at .

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.

Hi there - Just wanted to thank you and your staff for a beautiful evening… Really enjoyed the experience- the food was first class as was the service. We will definitely be back ! Thank you all. X

Had a great time during our first visit to the Dining Club. Great ambience, comfortable surroundings, fabulous food and all round good value for money. Looking forward to our next visit.

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.

What a brilliant thing. The staff and venue top quality and the food delicious.

Amazing place. I'll return again to try new menù

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful food with so many flavours. Topped off with fantastic service. Thank you.

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 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

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.

Imaginative menus, superbly executed, delightfully served. Always a treat to eat here. Fantastic value

4 of us went for sunday lunch yesterday and every course was delicious. The pan fried scallop melted in the mouth, the crab mousse was so light and the apple relish was amazing. The fore rib was beautifully cooked and so tender, oh and Scotties roast potatoes were crispy on outside and fluffy in the middle. I could have licked the plate with his beef gravy. Thank you Suzanne and Scot for the best lunch 👍👍

Had a lovely Saturday night dinner here at end of January - imaginative dishes (first mouthfuls were duck and cherry sausage..delicious) brilliantly executed. Vegetarian and dietary needs catered for with care. Lovely balanced menu, personal, attentive, efficient service.... it's another winner dinner!

We had a delicious meal at the dining club on 16th December. The rooms were decorated beautifully for Christmas by Suzanne’s mother in-law and the atmosphere and service was fabulous Thank you Suzanne and Scottie

This was our first visit and we cannot wait to go back! The food was fantastic. We enjoyed every course on the “Taste of Kent” menu. The individual rooms are all lovely. Only good things to say about this place. We’re looking forward to our next visit!

Fabulous meal. Five really tasty courses. Such good value in such a nice setting with friendly attentive staff. Scottie now back and it shows!

Christmas celebration with friends from a local micro pub so occupied all tables over 3 floors of the restaurant. Delicious food (preselected) impeccably presented and served, rooms tastefully decorated for Christmas. No alcohol licence, so reasonable corkage charged. Overall, excellent evening, and would love to join as a member for 2023. Hope to visit again soon!

Make your own mind up about the owners response to me complaining about reservation errors and lack of response to reservation enquiries. It appears to be a lottery if you actually have a table at a paid membership club I was told that they won't bore me with the details but their lovely guests know that they have had an "interesting " year with the wife's father sadly passing away and owner having an awful accident so their lovely team have been helping them through the trying time.. sadly mistakes do happen at The Dining Club (by my experience, repeatedly). Why would i expect to be booked in for 3 persons if i had requested a booking 3 persons? and received a incorrect response after many days of waiting for a table for 2!. Why would i expect a response at all to another booking enquiry? The Dining Club solution was to refund my pre payment for 3 person booking and my membership to get rid of the problem with comments of toodle pip old chap. That did make me laugh as i havent heard that phrase for years. It is a real shame that when you support local businesses they constantly let you down and use such excuses rather than addressing their issues. There are many good restaurants in Deal, it just appears that this one has issues at the moment.

The Dining Club Deal I cant believe the attitude of the management of The Deal Dining Club. You book for 3 people and they only book you in for 2! Excuse is a typo! They advertise events, you book by email only to find out you are not booked in! Managagement state its a rare mistake but my experience is that communication is non existant or what you do get is full of errors! Subscribe to membership and book at your own peril! My view is that they are just trying to make money out of as many memberships as possible which you can never use.

Very friendly staff, interesting menu of ‘Scottie’s Classics’ which were all well cooked and well presented. Altogether An excellent evening

What a great concept, attended on Saturday evening & thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the food was absolutely stunning. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great dining experience. Keen to return in the future to try out a different menu.

First visit, a bit dissapointed with the food to be honest, it was good but I was expecting more. Staff and atmosphere were great. I will definitely go again to prove myself wrong!

A wonderful (Sunday) lunchtime experience, four courses of loveliness and marvellous service with a smile. We will absolutely return.

The food is amazing and the service very good

This was our first visit to the dining club and on arriving we were greeted by friendly lovely staff. The atmosphere is cosy and the service was very attentive. Generally the food was good and value for money. The only thing that was disappointing was...

Sublime beyond reason. Food stunning superb well balanced and just bang on for a luncheon Service perfection (Maria especially just rocks) they have it right. Be warned they seat 42 and there are a lot of members dates sell ot quickly

We have been members for a while now. We always enjoy the service and Fayre at the dining club. There is a great atmosphere and would recommend joining.

We’ve been a few times, you really need to book up in advance. The food is always wonderful. You always leave feeling satisfied. It’s great value for money. Plus you take your own alcohol. The husband and wife team run the restaurant. They’ve got many...

An amazing place with really really good food. I loved the whole experience 😍

We re joined as members towards the end of the year as we wanted to start supporting local business. We had forgotten what a wonderful relaxed cosy environment the dinning club was which as a benefit serves great food. They do book up quickly, so...

This review is for New Year’ Eve . It was great at £95 each, for me it was value for money, 5 courses if I remember rightly all great and lobster thermidor as the main course, a WHOLE lobster, I was impressed. There was a...

Omg. The Dining Club is without doubt one of the best places to eat in the South East. Scotty is a brilliant chef not afraid to try different thng each week. Due to lockdown the last time we visited was 2019 but Scotty and team didn't disappoint with the Mexican banquet. Service is impeccable and I wish the Dining Club was in my home town of horsham. Thank you Suzanne, Scotty and team for another brilliant night

A really quirky place , a bit of a squeeze to get to my seat which I had to straddle ! The staff were all friendly and helpful. Wine uncorked and we had joined the Dining Club. We enjoyed evening of five courses. Decent Fayre...

We had a fabulous first visit to The Dining Club at Deal. We had a friendly welcome and we’re lead to our table. Each course was delicious. The staff were all brilliant and we had a really enjoyable evening. We don’t live in Deal but...

Very good food in unusual surroundings, very dependant on where you sit.

Thank you to Scotty, Suzanne and you wonderful staff. We have the best time on Saturday evening and the food was incredible. We'll be back, keep up the good work, kind regards, Trudi & 'Crew'

Went here for the 5 course meal (bring your own) on a Friday. The 2 owners know about high quality hospitality and food. All courses were excellent and service was perfect. At £35 a head this is a bargain fine dining experience. I don't know...

Looked forward to our first visit and lots of positive things to like. The ambience, service and most of the courses were delicious. So why only 2 stars? One course was scallops with black pudding. Ooh, my favourite. What we actually got was undercooked scallops...

My husband and I wanted to host a couple of dinners with friends to celebrate a big birthday. We were excited to book the dining club as the menus had always excited us. Well we certainly weren’t disappointed- what a great gastronomic find in the...

We went to the dining club for 4th July. The menu was not one that we would normally choose for Sunday lunch but we were so glad that we did. As usual each course was a joy. The starter gumbo was spicy and lovely with...

It was wonderful to be able to return to "The Dining Club" and savour the creative menu that Scottie the chef/owner manages to pull together. We went with friends for the Field and Orchard menu. One of the delights of The Dining Club, is always...

We decided to treat ourselves to a takeaway lunch from The Dining Club... and it WAS a treat to us as we generally rarely order food in. But I thought we deserved something different due to the difficulties of the past year. Well this is...

We really enjoyed a wonderful Easter Sunday lunch delivered to our home on Sunday. It was wonderful. Suzanne and Scottie provide a fantastic service. Very much appreciated in these difficult times

The Dining Club now offers what I consider as the ultimate three course gastronomic takeaway. Had three takeaways within the last 8 days which were just amazing. Scott is outstanding with the help of Suzanne who delivers the large goodie bag which contains all the...

Just like to thank the Dining Club for the most beautiful, 3 course meal. Thank you Suzanne and Scotty. The instructions were spot on. I'm absolutely made up also that Jack, my son , tried all of it and has now decided, that when you open, he will be joining us! So glad that we became members of possibly one of the best restaurants I have ever been too, and I've been to a lot!! AMAZING Claire and Lee

We have been using the Dining Club's delivery service since it started. The quality of the food has been maintained. The Dining Club deliveries have been one of the highlights of our 'locked-down' lives. The food comes with easy to follow instructions.Thank you so much, Scot and Suzanne. Keep up the good work.

As we are still unable to go out for a meal in Kent due to the current tier 3 restrictions, The Dining Club have come to the rescue with their delicious food to take away and heat up at home.The Bombay menu started with the Spiced Monkfish appetiser wasn’t on the menu but it was an excellent surprise (& Icould have eaten the homemade chutney on it's own it was so good) then a rich Sour Prawn & Mango soup to get the tastebuds tingling.The main course of Black Spiced Belly Pork was so soft & well complimented by the Onion Bhaji, Bombay Potatoes and a sumptuous Spiced Gravy.The portions were so big that dessert had to wait until the next day, but it was well worth the wait. A beautifully thick set creamy Mango pudding topped with a crisp Sesame Caramel.So good we’ve already booked the Christmas Eve menu. Roll on the 24th!

Because of COVID, the Dining Club now offers a take away service which is fantastic. Last Friday we had pea mouse with blue cheese crumb with crispy pork belly for a starter. Main course was slow roast beef cheek with potatoe pave, serious tomatoes and flat mushroom with dijon hollandaise. Desert was a mango panna cotta. Suzanne delivered all the elements with cooking instructions, a complete triumph. Looking forward to this Friday. J and B.

Stayed in Deal for weekend and this was recommended by owner of B&B. The theme for the weekend was an Atul Kochhar Indian 5 course meal. Loved the set up of the restaurant with rooms acting almost as a number of private dining rooms. Hostess was very friendly. The evening we attended it seemed full but felt absolutely Covid safe.Meal was outstanding. All the dishes were just a little different from a normal Indian meal (as you'd expect) but the range of tastes encountered were a wonderful experience. Whilst understandably full by the end the portions were all perfect sizes to allow you to enjoy each course.Would expect to be visiting Deal again next year and will definitely try to book into here again.

We have never had a bad or mediocre meal everything has always been absolutely superb. Do not know how Scott make such diverse superb menus. Suzanne is a superb host making all customers feel very wellcome. Always look forward to our next visit.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic we have had several meals delivered by the Dining Club. They have all been excellent. The recent 'Modern Flavours' menu was particularly good. The roast shoulder of lamb with a lamb faggot and preserved lemon was as good as it gets. We can't wait for the next delivery on Tuesday!

We are normally regulars at the Dining Club but Covid restrictions have taken there toll. They have to restrict their numbers because of social distancing but we managed to get a booking this Sunday. Despite hand sanitizer and masks to enter the premises etc. it was a delicious and relaxing meal. We had a lovely mackerel parfait, a pear and bacon salad followed by a fantastic beef pie with roasted vegetables. This was topped by a fantastic lemon dessert. This made a good balanced meal of considerable interest. It is a place where Scottie and Suzanne make you feel relaxed and the rooms mean that you usually get chatting to others in the room. During the pandemic they are also doing the meal as takeaway during this difficult time. I would certainly recommend that you try the meals which are different every time.

Staying in deal for 9 days allowed my wife and I to try a large number of restaurants. This was one of the better ones.The starters were unique and very nice indeed, the lamb shank was very flavoursome and fell off the bone. The ambience was such that we felt we had to whisper. My only two points are that I have never been a big fan of bringing your own bottle to a restaurant. Also that receiving the bill in an old tobacco tin was just weird.

We had such a lovely meal at The Dining Club tonight. The atmosphere was informal so you feel relaxed, but still special. The food was wonderful. I particularly liked the sea trout, with beetroot pannacotta and a five spice sauce. The connect of the club is great and if we lived closer, we would visit all the time! It all felt very Covid safe as well. Thank you for a great evening.

Always very good food and service.

Always enjoyed the Dining Club. But this was simply exceptional. Every course was delicious and unique, thank you.I'm going to introduce a new item to my reviews, Covid safe. I give dining club 9/10, good distance between the tables, did everything they needed to do. How reassuring that some establishments in Deal are taking Corona Virus seriously. TripAdvisor should also take the subject seriously. introduce a covid rating NOW

I have been lucky enough to have the pleasure of receiving a delivery of a takeaway lunch as a surprise lock-down gift.My meal was exquisite, and very easy to reheat. The Chicken Schnitzel with Spinach starter followed by a main course of Pan Fried Sea Bass with provincial vegetables was such supreme quality, the ingredients so fresh, and the flavours fragrantly blended, it really was so delicious.The Sweet Muscovado Cream with Sour Plums and Ginger Biscuits was a delightful dessert and not too sweet- the perfect end to the meal.This certainly brightened my day – and very highly recommended.

Due to the coronavirus closure we were unable to eat here last week. Instead we had two superb takeaway meals. They were delicious, excellent value and up to the Dining Club's usual high standard. On both occasions we made an event of it by setting the table, lighting candles etc and cracking a bottle of bubbles I highly recommend in these difficult days.

We had a booking for Mothers Day Lunch, Alas cancelled because of the Coronavirus shut down of restaurants.HOWEVER, We took advantage of the offer to collect the meal (for 5 of us) to eat at home.Wow what a great experience, everything was ready when I arrived with instructions on how to warm if needed, Buternut Squash Soup with a homeade cheddar and Rosemary scone, followed by a starter of 5 spiced Duck Salad. Main of Roast Beef, A medley of fresh veg and dauphinoise potatoes and lastly a gorgeous Walnut and Treacle Tart...Mothers day was rescued! I understand the owners are planning more Collection/Take Away opportunities shortly, I totally recommend you use this service, The food, as always, is scrumptious and the ordering and collection process is Simple. Thank You so much to the Proprietors..

I cant thank Scott and Suzanne enough for their hard work, not only keeping in touch with us as to what Boris decided to do re restaurants open or shut, in the end the decision was made for us and Scott and Suzanne stepped up to the plate (pun!) and produced a fabulous 4 course meal that my daughter collected and all I had to do was sit at a table and be served by my husband, son and daughter and all they had to do was heat it, it was fabulous and although I missed the atmosphere of being at the Dining Club I didnt miss out on the amazing food. Onwards and Upwards

I had the pleasure of eating at The Dining Club last night and the food was superb! Suzanne and Scottie really do look after their guests and I can’t wait to go back again!

Have now eaten at the club over 8 times in 2019 and all excellent and thanks to our friends taking us un our first time and enjoying t so much we became members. The last visit was my sister.s birthday treet so having come down from London we went out to dine with two others we had a riotous evening with excellent food and great friendly service. Thanks to all the staff for memorable time. Bad news my sisiter wants to come again and pay for herself this time so we will return.

We went with friends for a Sunday lunch and we all enjoyed everything enormously. You are not rushed, food is hot and good portions are offered. Corkage is very very reasonable and the ambiance is friendly.

My friend and i had an evening meal to celebrate my friends birthday at the dining club. Every course was delicious, and the members of staff wonderful. We both agreed this was the best meal out, that we had eaten for many years! Highly recommended!!!!!

Food, service, atmosphere.. One of the best experiences I've ever had in 40 years of eating out. If you haven't been yet, you really are missing out. Sunday was: crab mousse, cauliflower cheese soup, pork belly roast, bread & butter pudding with clotted cream & much more.

I cannot recommend enough the Dining Club. The food was excellent, the staff was lovely and very helpful. You need to bring your wine and alcohol but the corkage charge is very small. They give you a set menu which changes every day. You also pay cash. All of those points are not inconveniences as the food and service are outstanding. A must if in Deal.

This is one of the best meals I have had for a very long time. Every course was perfectly presented and beautiful to taste. Waitresses were very friendly and service was excellent. Only wish I lived nearer so I would be able to experience the afternoon teas and other evenings. The other plus is you can take your own drink with only a small corkage fee so don’t have to pay extortionate prices for a bottle of wine. The overall decor and ambience was also excellent.

Exceptional food. Great experience!

We've only been 3 times so far but each occasion has been an occasion. Every course seems finely crafted, often with unusual ideas or ingredients but always with a great taste and sometimes it's sensational. Bring you own alcohol (corkage fee applies). Perfect service.

Eight of us ate there recently on our weekend away in Deal. The food was enjoyed by all of us and it is a place I would go to again. The menu for the evening was called Ottolenghi and was 5 courses. You do have to take out membership which one of our party did prior to booking. You do have to supply your own wine but honestly I would prefer that. All in all a lovely evening. Oh, and don't take your dog(s) which a French couple did.

Loved it here. Great little place & lovely food. Went back this weekend & our love of this place has only increased. Everyone eats the same at the same time. £2 per person for corkage as you take your own booze. You don't have to be a member to eat here. Costs vary depending on the menu but is about £30 per head. Worth every penny. Optional £10 cheeseboard at the end...yes please! A must if you are staying in Deal at s weekend.

The Dining Club in Deal is a members only establishment - but for anyone likely to use it a few times a year that’s fine. It only costs £10 a year!

First time trying this venue, it lived up to its promise and delivered an interesting fusion of Mediterranean and English food.

You will never have a bad meal at the Dinning club. You are picking the menus that meets your palette . If you book months in advance before the menus come out. Scot will let you pick your favourite food and create a menus for your taste. He did this for me in May for 7 people I booked the table in February and everyone had a meal.Scot and Susanne are a very friendly couple and there staff are great.

Fantastic Champagne Afternoon Tea for our Civil Partnership celebration a few weeks back. Thank you for hosting our private event at the Dining Club and catering for the evening party in Deal Town Hall. We always enjoy our meals at the Dining Club, you made our day so special and our guests loved your food.

Excellent food. First class all round. Perfect dining experience.

Last night my wife and I travelled the short distance to Deal in Kent to have our first taste of The Dining Club. Set in Deal's magnificent conservation area, The Dining Club can be found in what was previously a house, converted into a number of rooms for dining.

Each set meal is themed. The food is excellent and sourced locally. Best for small group dining. Take your own wine.
