Deal Pier Kitchen situated at the end of the Pier provides fantastic views over the Kent coastline and out to sea and serves brunch and lunch daily, featuring in The Times top 30 best beach cafés and restaurants in July 2020.

The first one built on the site was just 250 feet long and was built in 1838, the pier decayed and was damaged in storms, being washed away in 1857.
The second pier was 1100 feet long and began being built in 1863, in 1940, a Dutch vessel, the Nora, drifted against the pier, destroying 200 feet of ironwork. It was demolished shortly after.
