EXCELLENT Based on 826 reviews John A21 November 2024Verified Inadequate heating As the many good reviews testify this restaurant provides well-cooked food and attentive service. However, when my wife and I visited on a cold November evening we found the heating to be so inadequate that we did not enjoy our visit at all. At first, I thought I was feeling the cold because of my old age, but then I heard much younger customers at a nearby table complaining about the temperature. One of them even had to stand up and stomp his feet to restore circulation. The waitress told us that all the heating was turned on, but I could only see two radiators in quite a large area, and they seemed quite ineffective. The manager then told us that the restaurant was cold because it was in an old building. This was hardly a convincing explanation as we had been in an 18th century pub less than an hour earlier and been quite comfortable. Before we had finished our main courses we decided that shivering under four layers of clothing was hardly the best way to spend a birthday celebration dinner, so we left and had our dessert elsewhere. Keithrow26 September 2024Verified Not what we expected We had expected an a la carte menu for a special occasion. We’d checked the website which promised venison, duck and 28 day steak. We even told them it was a birthday celebration. Instead we got tapas. Perfectly good tapas at a fair price. But not what we wanted. And no happy birthday. Victuals used to be the fine dining restaurant in Deal. Now it is little different from Frog & Scot, which has also repositioned. Shame. Deborah H14 July 2024Verified Excellent A superb meal and atmosphere. Best meal of our holiday. Highly recommend Very professional staff and super restaurant HCR26 May 2024Verified Lovely Food, Service & Great Atmosphere Really great food, great drinks, great service and lovely atmosphere. We even tried to go again for desert on a Sunday and unfortunately found it closed. Would definitely recommend. Gawdie12 May 2024Verified Excellent food A lovely, relaxed dinner with friends. Service was friendly, efficient and unobtrusive. Nice wine choices and cocktails. The food was superb, best meal we have had out in a long while. Each of us chose different combinations and were delighted by the presentation, taste and portion size. The menu is relatively compact but is deliciously well executed. Will definitely return and it won’t be long. angelaDeal25 April 2024Verified Mid Week Treat. The new mid week menu of two courses for £18 was amazing value. The same delicious food as always at Victuals. Just love it there... Peter18 April 2024Verified An Excellent Experience An Excellent Experience. A warm welcome, great food & a lovely ambience resulted in an excellent evening. We particularly liked the narrow field of focus that the mid-week menu offered - all fabulous & delightfully presented. Well done, Team Victuals! Niki M12 March 2024Verified Doesn't get much better than this ... Took my Mum, stepdad and cheekee daxy Benj (big bark out for the doggy treats and bowl of water with which to wash them down!) here for Mother's Day and had a wonderful time ... for those who haven't been, in a nutshell, Victuals is a cosy little gem of a place where you are made to feel instantly at home and are welcomed almost like old friends ... Rob and his team are fabulous ... friendly, knowledgeable and attentive ... the restaurant boasts superb chefs that really know their stuff ... everything cooked fresh to order with flair and panache and beautifully presented ... if you like fast food and aren't prepared to wait, then you will be missing out on a real treat! ... we all polished off our starters, mains and desserts with gusto ... absolutely delicious and empty plates all round ... crayfish cocktails and crispy chicken satay starters were a big hit ... the porchetta and roast beef mains were scrumptious, accompanied by yorkshire puds the size of a small hat ... I was almost tempted to try mine on for size :-) ... and the rhubarb crumble cheesecake and cookie dough ice cream ended the meal on a sweet high note ... the only downside was, unfortunately, we were all driving later that day, so it was not possible to give the wine list a good bashing, but as I'm lucky enough to have this little gem almost on my doorstep, I will be returning to do it justice for a repeat performance as soon as I am able!! ... hands down, Victuals is the best restaurant in Deal in my opinion ... a solid 5* all round ... thank you SO much for looking after us all so well (even Benj!) and for making Mother's Day so memorable for my dear Mum, we all had a marvellous time ... x x x Helen M24 February 2024Verified Superb dining experience My husband and I had dinner last night at Victuals. The staff were very friendly and efficient and the food - we had venison - was superb. The bottle of Chilean Carmenere was excellent. Altogether a superb experience. We will return! Nick12 February 2024Verified Superb The 2nd time we’ve eaten at Victuals. This time Saturday lunch. The ambience is great and service is spot on. An extensive wine and drinks menu with a small food menu. However it covers all bases and the food is excellent quality. Starter, main and dessert were all fabulous. We look forward to visiting again.
