New Coast Kitchen in North Devon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We were a group of 16, not wanting our Bank Holiday weekend in Croyde to finish. With no prior reservation, we tried our luck at New Coast kitchen for coffee and maybe some brunch. They accommodated us with no issues, only apologising that due to the size of our party, any food we ordered might be a little slow to arrive - this was not the case. The drinks and food arrived without too much wait - the brunch menu is innovative and the food was delicious. The staff were really friendly and efficient and kudos to the chef for knocking out such delicious food! Will visit again next time we're in Croyde :)

Visited whilst on holiday, food was delicious with good vegetarian options. The carrot side dish was our favourite. Great wine list and excellent expresso martini. Service was quick, the waitress was friendly and very attentive.

Walked up without a booking for coffee and a bite to eat for lunch; total party of 20 (10 kids)… the waitress warned us that we might have to wait a while with a large group, and that the food might arrive at slightly different times, but actually it was all perfectly timed after our coffees and very nice as well. Well done East Coast team!

Amazing food, great service and always delivers. Also do a great coffee in the morning!

What a find! The most delicious food, simple but perfect (we had the brunch and I really recommend it). As soon as I finished I wished I could eat it again. Service was fantastic and the place feels upmarket while still very relaxed and informal.

Went for brunch with the family. The service was very slow (considering the place was pretty empty). I had the no avo on toast which was disappointing. The no avo wasn’t seasoned properly and the feta portion was very very meagre.

My friend and I had an amazing breakfast here, so tasty with lovely coffee. Our waiter was Will and he was kind, courteous and friendly. Thank you, we'll be back. 😀

Really lovely innovative menu with interesting vegan options but for pretty much all of the items that are labelled as being able to be made vegan this just means taking away most of the dish and still paying the same price. e.g. potatoes with caper mayo and anchovies becomes potatoes, bread with seaweed butter just becomes bread with vegan butter (despite seaweed being vegan)

Just perfect. The best breakfast we’ve ever had. Will was very friendly and added to the wonderful experience at the restaurant. It’s a must if you are visiting Croyde. 😊👌🏼

awesome place with a variety of really nice and tasty food options. drink are awesome as well. really recommend the orange soup

Outstanding food and so surprising at what is a seaside resort. Such a change to the usual pub grub

Really fantastic food. Friendly & fun service, good wine choices. Highly recommend!

Fantastic brunch, one of the tastiest veggie breakfasts I have ever eaten. Brilliant service and lovely staff.

Outstanding restaurant serving exceptional food. Team was very friendly and professional. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top quality service and cuisine.

Sadly found this place too late! Had a delicious lunch and wanted to come back for last night of hols meal, but were fully booked. So lovely and brilliant staff! Refreshing and delicious! Thanks guys!

The best dining experience we've had for long time. Update..... Second time we went was nowhere near as good.

Had a wonderful evening meal at the New Coast, as well as a few day time wines and cocktails during our time in Croyde. The menu was exceptional. Everything we ate was amazing, with some great recommendations from the team. The service was top notch, will definitely come back again.

We ate here for the dinner before my sister’s wedding. We found worms in 2 of our salads. The male manager was sarcastic (“You’re in the country now”) and we had to argue to get the salads refunded. Following further muttered comments from the manager, we decided to take the service charge off, too. Never come across such a rude manager. If you serve customers salads with worms in them, being apologetic is the right way to handle it. EDIT: Thank you for your reply. To be clear, we understand that mistakes happen, and our issue was less with the "caterpillars" (I defer to your experience) and more with the manager's condescending attitude. The quote we included was accurate (we posted the review before leaving the restaurant) and we're not sure which part of the review you disagree with. The other members of staff were perfectly polite and we had no other issues with the food. We appreciate your good wishes for tomorrow.

Our favourite local restaurant, food is always amazing and service has always been incredible.

Food was well presented and delicious, and service was great. The ambience would have matched the food were it not for the group of 20 people from the golf club swearing and shouting, making it difficult to hear much else. If you want to provide a 'relaxed fine dining experience' then I can't see why you would accept large bookings from sports clubs in such a small setting.

I cannot rave enough about how good this restaurant is. It was so delicious we went twice in a week. The pig cheeks and fig leaf pudding are Michelin standard. Bravo!

Excellent food , fantastic full breakfast this morning ….so good ! Really nice coffee too and great service

Just beautiful, delicately flavoured food, everything perfect. Great service, nice pace and friendly. So glad we chose to go.

Wonderful restaurant in Croyde, Devon! The food was delicious, and the waiting staff provided excellent service. The cozy atmosphere, albeit a little quiet, made for a memorable evening out. A truly lovely dining experience all around. Highly recommended!

Our brunch was fantastic. The food is locally sourced and all freshly prepared and it makes a massive difference. We were warmly welcomed and well looked after, the atmosphere was perfect. We will return without a doubt.

Amazing food and drinks with great service

Everything was fantastic! Myself and my wife had a wonderful time with some great food in really enjoyable setting. The cauliflower Kyiv was great, as were all the vegetables as sides. The staff were brilliant too, making sure to confirm where things were changed to make the plant based for us. All brilliant, will be back here when next in Croyde!

Fantastic food and great service 😁

Great food. Very accommodating for dietary needs, worked around restrictions. Friendly and happy staff.

I went for a meal with my husband in April 2024. Really fantastic food and friendly service. It's the second time we have been and I now recommend it to everyone! Not appropriate for young children in the evenings. Price very reasonable for the quality of food.

First time visiting this restaurant and I was not disappointed!! The food was absolutely amazing (some people in our group found it a little too rich but I personally loved it!). It’s a wonderful experience, the staff are excellent - so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is great in there with beautiful decor. It’s more expensive than a lot of the other cheap and cheerful places in Devon, but it is definitely worth the price.

Me and my partner dined here the other night and we loved every single plate of food we had they were all so tasty and nicely presented! Service was also great and just faultless all round. We can’t wait to visit again on our next holiday.

We had a fantastic 21st birthday family celebration meal last night. Its a varied and interesting menu, with delicious food. We enjoyed pigs cheek, crab and scallops from starters and beef, hake, cod and cauli kyiv from mains. Great veggie options. All just so good and beautifully presented. The kitchen was really flexible, as I'm allergic to fish and were so accommodating, changing elements of dishes in response. There's a good wine menu and cocktails were lovely. Service from Lily was just outstanding. A really relaxed, friendly comfortable restaurant which looked after us and fed us supremely well.

Good coffee, Friendly staff. Good service

What a gem of a restaurant. The service was impeccable, food delicious and a lovely atmosphere all at a really reasonable price. We went for my husband’s 50th birthday and he was made to feel very special. Couldn’t fault it.

Great 5 star restaurant!! Super lovely british classics meet gourmet !! Would recommend to anyone going to the arae

Had brunch here with my husband. The stuffed roasted mushroom on a crumpet with poached egg, wilted greens and hollandaise was absolutely delicious. My cappuccino was also very good. My husband had the poached egg with salmon and wilted greens on a crumpet and enjoyed his too. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was very smart... it felt more like we were in London than North Devon. They are doing a great offer in February... any brunch item (except NCK breakfast ) plus hot drink for £10 plus optional service. Great value. Would like to come back and try dinner.

Excellent food with good service and great value too. Visit here.

We went last year, was absolutely fantastic, I plan to go 2025 for my 60th as we live in London. My husbands sister, and friends go quite regularly and love it.

Great food at a reasonable price. Service friendly and welcoming, not overbearing. Relaxed vibe and contemporary feel. Sensible wine list. Well worth a visit. Thanks for a great evening New Coast Kitchen.

Fantastic food and super friendly team. Always a pleasure to return back when we're in Croyde.

An absolute gem in UK let alone Croyde! Every time the food just gets better, with a relaxing atmosphere, and excellent service to boot. Well done team New Coast, you really have an excellent restaurant. Can't wait to come back next time.

Phenomenal food. Best I’ve had in a long time and I’m lucky enough to eat in lots of good London restaurants. It’s a gem.

Been a patron of New Coast Kitchen for a few years, now....two recent visits, in the last couple months....what can I say? Always a truly memorable experience...from the lovely ambiance, in the idyllic village of Croyde, to Martin's phenomenal food, great selection of cocktails and wines, but not to be forgotten, the attentiveness, care and professionalism of the entire front team, makes every visit a memorable one! We can't wait to come back, soon...…Luis & Tasha

Went for a family meal with 19 people of all ages. Service was unbelievable, a credit to service in this day and age, where normal waiters don’t fair. Food was exceptional, highly recommended the cali bhaiji. Will be going back, hopefully get to stay in the lovely town.

Wonderful lunch. Squid risotto was excellent as was the steamed cod.

Lovely place to eat inside or outside. Good of food as well

Excellent top-end restaurant! Situated in one of the coastal villages, but not hard to get to or remote (by Devon standards) and with a good car park just across the road.

Really great food, beautifully presented. This was my second visit and will return again.

Last night was the sixth time we have been this year. I don't think I have ever gone that frequently to one restaurant. we go because we love the food and the friendly service. It has been wonderful every time. Great food, great wine list and lovely service. Thank you.

Special meal celebrating with family at NCK last night and it was absolutely fantastic. As a local this is definitely the best restaurant in the area. Everything about this place is first class and cannot recommend it enough to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a perfect evening with family!

Unfortunately, the customer is always wrong; don't expect a reasoned or professional response if there are any issues. Overall, the food is ok, but a little overpriced and a little pretentious. I'd recommend one of the many other pubs for decent food at a fraction of the price and none of the arrogance.

Some of the best fish ever... NCK had been on my radar for a while, probably popped up on a review I read, so was keen to book when we visited the area. We arrived late due to traffic (travelling to Devon on a Fr in the holiday season!!) and had a most accommodating & friendly welcome. Limited menu but all sound appetizing. Opted for the fish and wow, really some of the nicest we have had. Perfectly, cooked, presented, etc. Well worth a visit.

Delisious food and great service!

Stunning food, very nice wines and wonderful service. I cannot rate this restaurant highly enough. Book in now, you won’t be disappointed!

Had dinner here 29th July omg the food was insane, it has to be the best food I have tasted to date. The oysters were amazingly fresh and the rest of the dinner was perfection. Thank you and my complements to the chef and his staff.

Great food and great service. The team made my family and I very welcome, even though its a serious gastronomic venue.

Came for an 18th birthday and had a wonderful meal. The food and service are superb.

I had the pleasure of dining at New Coast Kitchen for my Birthday a couple of weeks ago and it was truly a delightful experience from start to finish. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with warmth and friendliness by the attentive staff. The décor is tastefully done, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere for a memorable dining experience. Let's talk about the food – absolutely exceptional! It's evident that New Coast Kitchen takes immense pride in offering fresh and locally sourced ingredients. The menu's unique flavour combinations, crafted by the talented Martin Baylis and the kitchen team, truly set this place apart. If you're in Croyde or the surrounding area, I highly recommend paying a visit to New Coast Kitchen. Whether you're a food enthusiast, a casual diner, or looking for a special place to celebrate an occasion, this restaurant has something for everyone. Overall, New Coast Kitchen exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to returning soon to explore more of their mouth-watering menu. Thank you for the wonderful experience! 👍 Highly recommended! 👍

Absolutely incredible meal. We came to Woolacombe for our honeymoon and so glad we ate at New Coast Kitchen. Really friendly staff and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. Would highly recommend the cocktails and the oysters. Small menu but everything we had was insanely delicious. A must-visit if you’re in the area!

Very good small plates offering, the beetroot and burrata was a particular highlight. More of this kind of thing in North Devon please!

Absolutely amazing!!! Brilliant food, so tasty 1000% recommend coming here 3 courses and 2 rounds of drinks for an average of £70-£80 per head! Absolutely wonderful!!!

Absolutely delicious, unforgettable food. Lovely staff and comfortable atmosphere.

First visit here, and it won't be our last. We've added New Coast to our top 3 favourite places to eat. Loved the decor, tables well spaced, nice music, great service, very relaxing. Good wine list for all budgets. And cocktails too. Now to the food. Absolutely sublime. Every dish was cooked with skill and imagination, using fresh seasonal ingredients, beautifully presented, generous portions, delicious. Pre booking advised, we saw people without a reservation being turned away. Can't wait to return to try the lunchtime small plates!

Absolutely outstanding, Service was top tier, Victoria was as very professional! The food was insane, super creamy burrata, don’t miss out on the sirloin 🤩 but I must say all of the fish dishes look amazing too! I wish all the best to New Coast and their team on board a true gem for Croyde!

Fantastic food. Some of the best scallops I've had in a long time and the fried oysters were probably better than having them fresh! Few restaurants meet my expectations for great food, but honestly this place exceeded them. Will certainly be back!

Great menu majoring on local produce.

Fabulous food. Everything was absolutely delicious. So lovely to actually have interesting veggie and vegan options. Exceptional customer service.

Overall the group I was with had a good experience. Unfortunately due to unforseen circumstances I had to bring my small dog to the restaurant. Being a quality restaurant I understood the No dog policy so rather than cancel and pay the cancellation fee I decided to sit outside with my dog while my party were inside. Our group overall enjoyed the evening but agreed the mains could have been warmer.

One of the best dining experiences I have had for some time. An unexpected gem.

Ate here for the first time. Thoroughly enjoyed our three course meal. The service & food was amazing. We eat out quite often & this was our best meal for a long time. A must try!!! & we will be back!!

Excellent food and service . We have dined twice and so impressed after the first occasion that we returned for dinner some days later. A very good choice of wines and the menu offered a range of dishes that ensured our differing tastes we were easily met. Asparagus,scallops,hake and lamb were all served with very imaginative ingredients and so tasty and satisfying. Well done chef. The staff were friendly, cheerful, helpful, knowledgeable and efficient We look forward to our third visit!

Having eaten at NCK on numerous occasions, I have found the quality of the food, drink and service to be consistently outstanding when compared with comparable premises. Incredible value and very tasty dishes, attentive service and fantastic cocktails - book here with confidence.

Amazing food I must say,five star chefs. Flat front of house staff, let the chefs down. You need the staff from blue groove to show you how service is done . Staff make you come back. Amazing chefs but kick your front of house .

Food brilliant staff felt like didn't want to be there

5 star from beginning to end! Food was great, service was superb. We messed up our transport and they arranged a taxi for us last minute. Cocktails were incredible, highly recommend!

We have visited a couple of times and have had fantastic food every time. The staff are always professional and very friendly. If visiting Croyde add it to your list of restaurants to try.

Duper duper place ' in every aspect.

Excellent food and service, a must try. Our first visit was for lunch and second visit for an evening a la carte menu.

Excellent food. Lovely cocktails. Very friendly service, would highly recommend.

Great experience with a group of ten. High quality local food, loved the bass, beef and oysters. Service was excellent, but stupid table shape. Wide ranging wine selection. Good quality toilets. Strong bowls. Slightly pricey. Shame my mate Danny couldn't handle it.

A great lunch outside in the sun, the food was all delicious but the chicken was probably the best cooked chicken we have ever had! Very friendly and helpful staff and good atmosphere. Definitely recommended and looking forward to going back for dinner.

Excellent food - presentation, flavour and quality and fantastic service. Couldn’t fault it and would recommend it to anyone. It was worth every penny.

Lovely Sunday Roast with amazing dessert.. Highly recommended 👌

Stunning tasty food, highly recommend. Our new go-to, for sure! Lunch today, I had tempura wasabi oysters then venison..absolutely gorgeous

Nice atmosphere and staff. The food is fancy and very good quality

A place with a difference. Well worth a visit. Loved it.

Unbelievable food in a fantastic part of Devon. 100% worth the trip. If they still do it, go for the scallops with black pudding.

Very good food, service excellent. Will be returning

Fantastic little restaurant, some of the best and helpful service iv had for a long time, food was fantastic and we had 3 courses for £40... Worth ever penny highly recommended

The best restaurant in north Devon… always delicious food always 5 star service and most importantly always makes you feel like you have been somewhere special. These guys have it right

Fabulous Valentine taster menu! Never fails to deliver the most delicious food. Beef Wellington was to die for. Thank you again New Coast!

Went for an impromptu dinner and was so impressed with this meal. Will definitely being making a return visit. Food was 10/10. Tasted great and brilliantly presented. Loved our evening.

Had such a fantastic few meals here. Great food and lovely service- highly recommend!

Amazing experience coming here for dinner for the Christmas eve tasting menu. I have an intolerance that they accommodated for in advance & very graciously did me a custom menu based on the main one. The cocktails were also brilliant, i would highly recommend the pear margharita.

This is the second time I've dined here and both times (December 2021 and December 2022) have been incredible, the service is warm and welcoming, the food is just great and well worth the price, would totally recommend you book

Great experience at new coast kitchen - serious quality food and very relaxed and friendly service. It's among the best places you can eat in North Devon - go now if you haven't already.

Went for lunch, excellent food, pricey but you get what you pay for. Would definitely recommend for a treat.

Wow what a fluke of a find... The best salted beef sandwich I've ever had! Some clever chef has put all these ingredient together like art work and cooked it perfectly... If only I lived closed!

Nice menu, excellent high end food. Pleasant and efficient service.
