Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

A nice place to stop for cocktails and food. Lots of seating and usually busy. Would recommend booking! Pornstar martini was good!

I came for lunch with my Mum and daughter on a Saturday afternoon. We had paninis/wraps and the food was lovely, chips are divine. It wasn’t overly busy but the service wasn’t great, despite there being 4 members of staff on.

Been so many times to Coast now and the food is consistently excellent. Occasionally try eating somewhere different but nothing so far to beat Coast. Have tried various items on the menu and all excellent. My only criticism is they have a ‘special’ Mac and...cheese in the main menu which is far too heavy with cream for me but have discovered I can get a smaller portion of Mac and cheese and that one is the way I prefer it, just wish they’d add the ‘usual’ Mac and cheese to main menu. Young staff who are always polite and friendly - also some fabulous cocktails. Look out for their special £4 cocktails they serve Friday to Sunday.More

Really nice welcome after we had booked by phone. Plenty room at the table we had and the order was taken promptly. Good selection of food and range on the kids menu. Reasonable prices and decent quality served up promptly by the waiting staff.

So for International Woman’s day we decided to go out for tea. Coast have a steak night on a Tuesday (handy) so we all went for a fillet steak (.medium rare) My husband made a point of telling the waiter that we expected our steaks...to be cooked as asked for. Several minutes later our plates were delivered with 3 absolutely perfectly cooked steaks, with delicious accompaniments. We could fault nothing about the meal even going so far as to say it was the best steak we had tasted for a long time. Service was fabulous also. Would 100% recommend CoastMore

Never done a bad review before as believe we all have off days but service shocking tonight. We were seated over a hour before getting mains. Had to ask for plates, cutlery and condiments. Still didn't get so had to fetch myself from bar. Didn't...get one of our drinks at all. Food poor. Ended up leaving before dessert. Just not worth it. Also never offered tea or coffee with high tea. Paid £15.95 a head for slice of toast and not great mains.More
