We enjoyed our dinner at Dunkerley's. Food was tasty, and portions were good, but there were no outstanding courses. The seafood platter was plentiful, though unfortunately q a few of the mussels had failed to open, so that element provided less than expected. The wine list was a little limited. Environment was somewhat staid, certainly at the back, where we were. Staff were lovely, very attentive and positive. All in all, a pleasant experience, but not a 'must return as soon as possible one'

Was everything I was looking for and more. My mum wanted somewhere near the sea, that had a good choice of fish dishes. After alot of research of the kent coast, I remembered Deal had a good mix. That's when I found here, great reviews,menu was good covered all of the group. Arrived and had a drink outside, then onto the restaurant. Staff are friendly, the food was wonderful, value very good. Will definitely be back

Beautiful restaurant, my third time visiting. Food amazing, delicious, local produce however starter portions very small. I had requested upon booking to sit at a quite table as one of the party is hard of hearing but we were seated beside a large, noisy table which was uncomfortable. Though the service was very patient and accommodating, it was a little on the slow side. But will still return as it is a beautiful restaurant and the best food in town! Thank you!

Dunkerlys is slightly old fashioned dining, but the food is really good and not too expensive. The staff were happy to change things (ie veg / potato options) if we required this.

A lovely restaurant with a varied menu with some great seafood and fish selections. We especially enjoyed the scallops, mussels, and Mediterranean prawns..and wow! they make their own ice cream. I can recommend sugarnut and white chocolate and ginger. Also, chocolate orange ginger and rosemary ice cream. A really lovely quality relaxed meal. Our waitress was very friendly and bubbly, which made a difference, giving us a lovely evening.

Lovely location. Staff were very welcoming. Food was excellent and not over priced. The drinks menu is also good, lots to choose from including cocktails. I definitely recommend going here but book a table as they do get very busy.

Nice staff. Welcomed nicely and attended to during a late lunchtime service. Main courses on a Sat lunchtime were excellent (pork belly, seafood pasta, cidered chicken, Plaice). Deserts were not as strong though. Overall very good value. Would def go again.
