Well we were back to deal for our yearly motorcycle event, The Heritage Sprint, at betteshanger park. And our second visit to this very nice establishment.
Even though the menu looked very similar to last year, if it ain't broke, don't fix it... rules here.
Every single dish stood out, the lowly bread, was soft and tangy. Toasted almonds were soft and flavourful. Every little thing was perfect.
Hannah was great and even though it got very busy, she coped brilliantly.
Well done gang especially the chef.
Why not put a flyer out at the next event?

The frog and scot is a very nice bar/restaurant that serves french orientated food, which is a good place to stop by if you're in the area. On the inside, the atmosphere is very relaxing alongside the darker more moody ambience with the decor and the lighting which was very pleasant, however walking past in the sunlight, it's a bright and vibrant atmosphere which seems inviting.
The menu was made up of bar snacks, small plates, larger plates and deserts, all of which, as mentioned before, is based around french food and cooking. We started off by having the tomato salad which was fresh and very vibrant in colour, and then shortly followed by the ham croquettes which were crispy and golden accompanied by an amazing filling. Then followed by the trout tartare which was a good taste of the fish but cut through by the sweet dressing and the cherries on top which gave a really pleasant balance to the overall dish.
To finish off the smaller plates, we had the burrata which was extremely delicious, and the bavette steak which was cooked medium rare and was flavoured wonderfully with the chimichurri as a garnish. Then we had one large plate to share which was the sirloin stake which was my favourite thing there, cooked to a perfect tenderness and served with chimichurri as well with fries and a salad.
Overall, this was an extremely pleasant meal, however if you are going here, do expect to spend quite a bit of money.

Celebrated my 20th birthday with Frog & Scott
We ordered a beef tartare as a starter, was amazed by how pickles can elevate the whole flavour!
For the main course, we had a cod dish, the fish and broccoli met our expectations and were very well seasoned. My friend just didn’t particularly enjoyed the anchoïade sauce as it doesn’t really complement the cod.
The crème brûlée was an MVP of the evening, the custard was so rich with vanillas and was so creamy! The crunchy layer of brown sugar is a cherry on the top.
I enjoyed my celebration in here and thank you for the staff for being so accommodating throughout the night!

Definitely recommend if you’re in Deal! Amazing and friendly service, atmosphere, and the food!! We had a few small plates and the sea bream, which was amazing - usually when we get whole fish we think it’s not good value for the price, but this fish exceeded all our expectations! Would come back again!

Just this restaurant alone is worth a visit to Deal. Outstanding, mind-blowing small plates food concept. It is very well priced with delicious food. It's probably the best food I've eaten outside of London. The service was also really good, kind, attentive, and responsive. This place is great for a quick bite and a glass of wine or a full sit-down meal with a variety of dishes, each bringing you on its own flavour journey. We ordered 6 dishes for 2 people plus dessert and non alcoholic Espresso martini, and we paid 74£, so it's very reasonable. If you are really hungry or want to taste it all, order the same amount. Otherwise, scale down to 4-5 dishes. The portions are decent. My absolute favourites were the blue cheese puffs, the chickpea puffs, and hasbrown with fish. However, it was really difficult to choose favourites as everything is just so tasty.
This restaurant has just recently changed their food concept from 3 course to small sharing plates. Therefore, most of the pictures here are out of date. Check my photos to see the latest offering and looks of the food. This restaurant has both outside and inside sitting. If the weather is great, it is worth to sit outside.

Excellent restaurant in Deal. Great value small plates, interesting flavour combinations presented beautifully. Proper, life affirming food with a fantastic wine list at very reasonable prices. We were well looked after by all the staff, with special shouts to Isabelle & Cath for the attentive and welcoming service. Highly recommended, we'll be back!

This place has been on my list for a while.
Unfortunately they close in the afternoon so no good for a late lunch hence never making it.
Thankfully I was in Deal super early last weekend and managed to secure a table.
Service was a bit slow with our water request being requested three times.
Food nowhere near as good as anticipated and was average at best.
My table ordered the set lunch.
Whilst waiting we asked if we could have bread, three tiny slices fir £3.
A few halved cherry tomatoes with pesto for starter and the main steak was VERY chewy (and not rested).
Overpriced IMHO for the quality!
Drinks were one price on menu and charged as 20% extra on bill; plus, a single glass of average wine £12!!!
£60++pp for lunch (with 2 drinks)
Seems a lot of venues have increased their prices significantly recently (as I understand they have to to survive) , however, it's my belief only those with excellent customer service and amazing quality produce will ride out this storm.
Sadly I won't be rushing back.
