Japanese inspired dining, seasonal cocktails and natural wines, from the team behind The Rose, Deal.

Based on a Japanese Izakaya - a word which literally means ‘stay-drink-place’ - the tradition combines the atmosphere of a laid-back bar with small expertly-put-together plates of food.

Please note that we are closed 26th March - 1st April

OUR MENU

Our menu changes seasonally, with a weekly specials board and a set lunch (£25) available Thursday & Friday.

Book a table with a sea view or grab yourself a spot at our chef’s counter - the best seats in the house for an intimate meal while being part of the workings of our kitchen. For tables of 6 or more you may be seated in our private dining room, a beautiful room on the first floor bathed in evening sun with views out over the Deal conservation area.

Our Cellar Bar is now open for drinks and small plates on Friday & Saturday evenings. Head downstairs and pull up a pew, no need to book.

‘I was smitten with The Blue Pelican, a fine example of how these days it’s often ‘not London’ where indies can let their imaginations fly.’

Grace Dent’s restaurants of the year 2024, The Guardian

'From the broths and butters to croquettes and cuttlefish, all is served with aplomb. This is a most fabulous achievement.’
