I've been coming to Coates for years and it's been consistently great. This was my first visit since change of owners. Got there just before midday, all was well, friendly staff, we ordered and received our tea before the food. We were so into chatting before we suddenly realised we'd been waiting over 40 minutes. My friend asked and we discovered our order hadn't been put through, even though we'd paid for it. We were asked if we still wanted it and we said of course we did but it had to be very quick as my friend was catching a train. One of the staff came and said it was her fault and apologised and said we could have something extra or a discount. We went for a discount. My friend and I both felt it was unfair to the member of staff that the manager didn't come and apologise as ultimately it is their responsibility. Anyway, we got our food which was good and some money off. And my friend just got to her train on time (luckily we'd got to Coates early otherwise she'd have missed it or we would have gone hungry. I will go again but urge management to take more accountability.
Stopped for a quick lunch one Friday just as the new Autumn/Winter menu has been launched. This is the chicken schnitzel and battered hake garlic ciabattas with a side of fries. We were a little worried about having enough time to eat but this arrived promptly. The food was very tasty although there was a little too much garlic in the bread. But this is a consistently good neighbourhood cafe bar which is always on our list of places to eat.
Came for some lunch with the family and the food was lovely. Love the decor and the staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend!
As part of my 'fee' for legal work, I entertained my solicitor at this venue for lunch. He was well happy with fish and chips, I wish I had chosen better. The Rioja, however, was superb and I could easily have shared another bottle - but he had to get back to the office. An amiable place, the staff is clearly customer focused, with an eclectic setting. Obviously popular with locals and shoppers. If I'm there again, I'll be more careful with my meal selection
Beautiful cafe/restaurant. Superb food and super friendly staff. Great menu choice. Great location in the heart of Nailsea town centre. Good parking close by with free parking up to 3 hours in car park behind pub/restaurant. Great hot dog too, highly recommended.
