We had a lovely visit to The Coast for my birthday lunch, the atmosphere and team were brilliant, it is super dog friendly and our dog was very spoilt, we had burgers which were delicious and after seeing the pizzas being served to other tables we will definitely be trying a pizza on our next visit to Cowes. Thank you to the team.
Love this place! Professional and friendly service. Had the wild mushrooms on toast with poached egg as a brunchie snack. It was so delicious I had to stop myself from licking the plate!
Based on other reviews, I was expecting a lot more. We ordered some water and then proceeded to order our drinks & food around 10 mins later (water didn't show up until we asked a second time). When the drinks arrived, the guy (through no fault of his own) dropped the tray of drinks onto my wife's foot, but they were replaced so no real concern. We did however ask to move inside as we were sat on such a slope. We moved inside and our food arrived around 45 minutes to an hour after we originally ordered. As you can imagine, we were starving and our kids were exhausted. My wife's chicken supreme was absolutely lovely and the kids pizza was really tasty. My burger, however, was shocking. The saddest plate Ive ever seen. Literally burger and fries. No side garnish, nothing. The fries were tasteless and the burger was also tasteless and dry. I had to complain to the manager as I was so surprised at how rubbish it was. I had very little in return for the awful evening and meal other than a discount to my drink! Needless to say, we won't be returning. Wish we had tried the Italian across the way.
We came here last fall for a meal while visiting Cowes and they were able to accommodate us without a reservation on a busy Saturday night. The dishes, the atmosphere, and the service are great here. It is easily one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in the UK.
This place is lovely. The service was brilliant and staff all really nice and friendly. The premises are really tidy and situated in the idyllic town of Cowes. I started with the salt and pepper calamari and had the sea bass with potatoes, green beans and the most amazing lobster bisque sauce I've ever tasted. Other members of my party went for the pizza's and were equally impressed. I think I've found my new favourite eatery on the island and look forward to more culinary delights on my return. My most sincere compliments to the chef, hats off to you sir!

Cowes Ale House is the 2nd smallest pub on the Isle of Wight with it's sister Newport Ale House being the smallest ! We may be small but we are very friendly and serve real ales direct from the barrel. We also serve a wide range of other refreshments
