Our kitchen is run by our Executive Chef Martin Baylis who is a young, talented, and exciting chef.

We aim to keep both the food and drinks menus fresh and exciting by making numerous changes throughout the year to align with seasons, introducing different combinations of flavours and as we uncover new local suppliers offering the best produce the South West can offer. 

We are delighted to welcome everyone of all ages at New Coast Kitchen.
