On Friday 5th April, Deal celebrated its 85th Anniversary with a lunch at the Royal Cinq Ports Golf Club with speaker, Stephen Young, Priest in Ordinary to Queen Elizabeth II.'

A delicious lunch was served starting with Warm Fillet of Salmon with Pea Puree, Beetroot Textures, Tomato and Basil Salsa and Baby Leaves, followed by Saute Fillet of Beef, topped with Stilton Mousse, Red Wine Sauce, and Dauphinoise Potatoes, Thyme Roasted Carrots and Tenderstem Florets.
