Coast . Surf + Moto — Restaurant in England

Some of the best pizzas in town. In fact all their food and drinks are lovely...spectacular milkshakes (worth the £6 as a special treat). And if you are able to get a table outside (in good weather) I'd probably rate it 4☆. But they really need to rethink their takeaway set up. There is inevitably a wait for most things (food, coffee, smoothies) yet there is no system for what to do once you've ordered. You're not allowed to sit in the booths there, understandably, but they don't call out numbers and it's pretty much a free for all. The smoothies and shakes come out of one little window for takeaway and table. I witnessed a (particularly irritating ,very self centred) man roll up and grab two smoothies out of the little window and let his teenager drink from one before saying to the guy at the till that he'd actually asked for two goldcoast (peach and strawberry) smoothies (his daughter was sipping a green one). When he realised his mistake he put the green one back and it was delivered to a lady at a table, as my protests were unheard. I'm sorry I didn't chase the waiter out but I'd been waiting 20 minutes at this point and was not risking anything similar happening to my order.

They need to have a better system...maybe call orders out so grabby so and sos won't just help themselves?

It's a shame because on most other points, Coast does really well...quite welcoming, great food and drink, funky relaxed surf vibe, fab little shop at the end.

Hoping they do something to make takeaway less painful (and...

Rude staff, accused of theft openly across the restaurant. Looking for somewhere to get breakfast with my friends, we came across this bar. I was surprised at how nice it was and how good the food looked as I walked through to my table. Orders were taken, and food arrived after a short time. The food was served to 3 people over a period of around 5 mins making it awkward for people to start, which was disappointing as we all ordered at the same time. Getting further service required getting someone's attention, but it was my belief that my table was being ignored, and I could openly see staff engaging in frivolous conversation with each other, ignoring my attempts to get their attention. The place was reasonably busy. After paying the bill, after a period of trying to get a staff member, I got up and left with my friend only to hear a staff member shout across the restaurant to another staff member "did they pay?". To be openly and publicly be accused of theft when the only reason for this is that staff were so disinterested with us, that no one knew we had paid, as it took me to almost grab a staff member to request the bill. The food was nice and I did enjoy it but the attitude towards me and my friends made for a very unpleasant experience. I suspect that no other table was accused of this but we were the only table of just males. I am a 42 year old man that sat down with 2 other similar aged men who are not accused of theft any other day...

I've been to Coast twice now over two years, and I'm a bit unimpressed after the second visit. Both times, the food were standouts - the mushroom toast and full English breakfast were cooked to perfection and were a more creative offering than some of the other brekkie places around. The coffee is also okay, and comes out very quickly. My main issue is with the wait times - we waited nearly an hour, after placing our order, to be served our food. To be fair, it was very busy and it appeared as though there was only one chef on duty, but it still should not take that long for what is a fairly basic (albeit nice) breakfast. I saw they were hiring a second chef - maybe hold back on stopping by until they fix their...
