WELCOME TO DECO
RESTAURANT & CAFE
Launched in Spring 2024, Deco is a vibrant culinary destination located within the beautifully restored, Grade II listed Saltdean Lido. Set in the iconic Rotunda, Deco offers a unique three-tiered experience: a welcoming café on the ground floor, an elegant restaurant upstairs, and an open-air terrace bar with stunning views over the historic pool.
​
Our menus celebrate the best of each season, crafted using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. At the helm is our chef-founder, whose extensive experience and close ties with regional farmers and producers ensure exceptional quality and freshness in every dish.
​
The Terrace Bar opens alongside the restaurant, providing the perfect setting to unwind with a handcrafted cocktail, a glass of wine, or a light bite—ideal for soaking in the atmosphere of this iconic coastal landmark.
​
Bar Opening Times
Wednesday: 5pm – 9pm

Our menus reflect the current season and our chef’s creativity—they’re a sample of what we’re serving, but dishes and prices may change. For the most up-to-date offering, just give us a call/email before booking.
The café is open for walk-ins only during the day. Bookings for Restaurant can be made after 5pm.
Please note that during private events held in our restaurant or ballroom, your reservation may be accommodated in our ground floor café.

During the Summer months our airstream trailer will be catering for our pool area with a snack friendly menu and of course plenty of ice cream!
