Best Sunday Lunch Restaurants in Deal

We arrived on time, had a very warm welcome, our coats were taken care of and we were shown to a lovely table, which had been set with a white table cloth, a white starched napkin, fresh flowers and a candle - a great start to an evening out. Our server was great at looking after us, she was engaging in short and friendly conversation, she was very much on the ball at checking in that we had everything we wanted and making sure that we were happy with each course. We had ordered the seafood and fish papardelle starter, which was very tasty but it had a lot of cheese on it that had not been mentioned at all in the menu description. We would have preferred to know that. As a main course, we had ordered Steamed Turbot with Citrus Fruits, Olive Oil and White Asparagus, it was a delicious, well-balanced and original combination. The other main course was a Grilled Pork Chop with Chick Peas, Aioli & Turnip Tops, which was a very unusual dish but very much enjoyed for its rich flavour combinations and the most beautifully grilled pork, which was delicious and tender, as well as attractive on the plate. For dessert, we had opted for the Sherry Trifle with Rhubarb and the Vanilla Pannacotta with Blood Orange & Grappa. The pannacotta was one of the best I have ever had for flavour. The trifle could have benefited from more rhubarb. The Chardonnay (Campo Fiorito) served with the pork chop was a great choice, perfectly chilled. The music played might not be to everybody’s taste for a dining experience. Overall, the service was excellent, the food was delicious, we had a very enjoyable evening and will book again. Thanks to the whole team.

Great service, and great staff very professional and made our experience amazing

It would be unfair to comment further. We were the only diners in the restaurant and, although everything was fine or better, we hope that the venue is normally busier than on our visit. Only then would it be possible to comment in detail.

The food was delicious and really good value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful. The service was great until we got our food. I would have liked to have been offered the menu, after our main courses, just to see if we would have liked dessert or a coffee to finish our meal. However we really enjoyed our meal and we will be back.

A very pleasant dining experience at Victuals & Co. Great food, very friendly and professional service and fabulous decor.
