The Kings Head is a historic seafront pub, restaurant and boutique hotel located on Beach Street in Deal, a coastal town on the east Kent shoreline. Positioned directly opposite Deal’s long pebble beach and promenade, the pub enjoys uninterrupted sea views and sits just a short walk from Deal Pier, the High Street and the town’s Georgian conservation area. Deal is known for its maritime heritage, independent shops and relaxed seaside atmosphere, making The Kings Head a popular stop for both locals and visitors exploring the Kent coast.
The building dates back to the 18th century and retains much of its traditional charm, with a classic pub frontage and a warm, welcoming interior. Inside, guests will find a relaxed bar area, a bright dining room and comfortable seating suited to families, couples and groups. Many tables overlook the seafront, and outdoor seating is available along the promenade during warmer months, offering one of the best beachfront dining spots in Deal.
The Kings Head serves classic British pub cuisine, with a strong emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Seafood features prominently, reflecting the pub’s coastal location, with dishes such as beer-battered fish and chips, seafood platters and daily fish specials. The menu also includes steaks, burgers, pies, salads and vegetarian options, alongside lighter bites and traditional pub favourites. A full Sunday roast is served weekly, and seasonal specials appear throughout the year.
The bar offers a wide selection of Kentish ales, beers, wines and spirits, including local brews that celebrate the region’s heritage. With its prime seafront setting, traditional character and dependable menu, The Kings Head remains a well-loved dining destination in the heart of Deal.
