12 for a steak baguette and chips. May I recommend if you are to charge 12. You use a higher grade baguette, replace grated Cheddar with an Emmental melt, have a red onion relish inside and have home cooked chips. I'm just glad I didn't order a sandwich by the looks of others I witnessed. Your chef really needs to up their game. Felt absolutely mugged off at that price. And grated Cheddar. Come on wake up Staff were lovely and the ales were banging. The food arwful

Lovely hotel, rooms are clean and comfortable. Bar prices a little on the pricy side Nice quiet location despite being on main road

Exceptionally good food, the staff were fantastic (shout out to Dan for joining in with some friendly banter from the table) and helped make my dad's 81st birthday party a great occasion. The scallops for starters were excellent, as was the duck.

5 star service, five star food, Thats what I have given here, my wife and I booked a late restaurant reservation here half hour later we arrived, my wife and I ordered the king scallops as a starter, absolutely fantastic, and then she ordered a fillet steak which also was amazing ( her words not mine ) I ordered the whole lobster with salad and chips, which wasn't on the restaurant menu but it was on the bistro special board ( I was pushing my luck ) but the young lady said it was OK, and it was cooked to perfection, and I even had others in the restaurant come over and said they were jealous that I was able to order the lobster so thanks to all the staff who are very friendly and professional for making our meals that little bit more special, we both highly recommend eating here

Our meal was outstanding. Scallops to die for, they melted in your Each dish was beautiful crafted on our plates and tasted gorgeous. Perfect for special meal which is why we attended Ross birthday. The bar has a menu that is more reasonably priced. Highly recommended this restaurant service was very efficient too.

My family eats here on a regular basis and has done so for over 20 years. I can honestly say that we've never had a bad meal. Great location, excellent food, fantastic value for money and outstanding staff. Bar food, restaurant or just a drink, I can happily recommend Dunkerleys without hesitation.

Myself and my partner stayed here on 17th December 2021 and I booked the sea view room as a suprise. We'll even tho it was cold and raining it all looked beautiful outside.maybe it was the Xmas spirit . It was 90 for the night and breakfast was included. I love dunkleys and will always stay here when we have a function on in deal.

Not a bad little place, room was of a decent size and quality for the money, which incidentally was good compared to some other establishments locally. Breakfast was nice and the staff were helpful. In a very good location right on the seafront and near the centre of town. No local parking, so you have to book into one of the relatively inexpensive paying car parks. Would stay there again.

Nice staff, good food but our room was noisy and our complaint was dealt with most bizarrely. No contact has been made since and no compensation offered. Would not recommend this hotel because of the attitude if the manager.

The restaurant was fantastic and the staff were lovely. The room was a bit noisy at night with perhaps washing machines nearby? There was a shortage of breakfast tables for the number of guests in the morning. Overall a lovely stay.

Staff were really helpful and friendly. All working so hard across the hotel and restaurant interchanging roles. Hope they are well paid as they deserve to be!

Delicious scampi and chips. Lovely outdoor seating area with a sea view. The reason for the 3 star review is the really slow service. We waited half an hour for our drinks to arrive. Staff were friendly and apologetic but things seemed rather disorganised.

Food was perfectly cooked, piping hot. I had Dover sole and fries and my husband had the fish and chips. We sat outside as we had our dog and the waiter brought her a bowl of water. He was helpful and friendly. Food was cooked with love. I just adore Dover sole and I am so glad I chose it. It was a large piece and also full of roe which I have never had in a sole before.

Food was good however we ordered drinks and every time we ordered more we had to pay there and then so several times during the meal my husband was up and down getting cards out. they should present the bill at the end. this ruined a pleasant meal as the fish was cooked well and the soup very nice. lh

This has always been a firm favourite. the food here is of a great standard. Great location by the sea. Gets very busy at peak times so you may need to book ahead.

We visited this hotel-restaurant, in October, on a very hot day and unfortunately all the tables outside were occupied so we ate inside the bar area, which welcomed children. The outside tables are ideally placed as they overlook the sea. The bar is furnished rather oddly with non-matching arm chairs, but the staff were welcoming and we had fish and chips and fish pie, which were all excellent. the white wine was good too and prices were very reasonable.
