Coast

Next door neighbour to the Ramore and owned by the same people, Coast is my absolute favourite venue for pizza and pasta. Now when I say pizza and pasta, please don’t think I mean the usual pepperoni pizza and pasta with tomato sauce (although those have their time and place too). Oh, no. Oh, no no no no no. The pizzas and pastas in Coast are (as that old buffer Michael Winner would say) historic.
The pizzas are made on a kind of flat bread which is their own recipe and I could eat it plain without a topping it’s so good. But not to look odd, I do the right thing and order toppings like everyone else. Again the toppings are unusual are so so good. My favourite is chilli beef and onions. You get loads of lean beautifully marinated beef — my mouth is watering at the very thought. — and at under £6, this is outstanding value. You can throw on extras like rocket, chorizo, pancetta and sun blush tomatoes. Trust me, you have never had pizza this good.
Pasta is an equally good choice — the chorizo carbonara is fab. Order a side of garlic bread, let out your belt and surrender to it. The tobacco onions are unmissable too — long strings of onions coated in something delish and deep fried.
Coast is very child friendly and can be noisy in the early evenings so you may want to take advantage of the take away service — make sure you ring ahead with your order.
