Latest Reviews
I'm a retired Home Economist who's had some really bad meals recently which I haven't reviewed as these are hard times. Heard good reports about this place so we decided to come on Sunday and try the Sunday Roast.
It was really nicely fitted out, had a good atmosphere and the Staff were friendly. My Grandson and I had to have the calamari and they were really good then came the sharing roast dinner. We ordered two as there were four of us. I must say the beef was some of the best I have ever eaten - it actually was sliced from a joint of beef, succulent and slightly pink in the middle - not uniformly ready sliced, vacuum packed and heated in a microwave. Chicken was on the bone and the vegetables freshly cooked. We were asked half way through if we needed more gravy, a nice touch. Delicious. My Grandson apprehensively ordered the millionaires shortbread as I make a mean one myself. It was twice the size we expected and certainly passed muster. My only beef was the small plates, but to be fair, it is a tapas place and we didn't ask if we could have bigger ones so that fault could be with me.
There was a reasonable selection of wine and the price was about the same as in a Pub.It was lovely that the owner, Richard, found the time to come and speak to us too. On the way out, we passed customers having the gambas. They looked amazing, so much so that I booked again.
Am a wheelchair user that can walk for about two minutes. If coming on my own, would have to access via the ramp and would have no problem inside the restaurant. My Daughter is also planning to return with Friends as she was tempted by the cocktails and tapas.
My Daughter also looked at the function room, said it looked good.

I visited today with my son. The refurb looks amazing and the ambiance was great. The service was great & atmosphere lovely. Very family friendly. Our Halloween obsessed toddler loved the Vampire hot chocolate & spooky Halloween themed kids meal. The pumpkin spiced latte was very seasonal and my meal delicious. We will definitely be back and can’t wait to come in the evening for food and drinks!

Visited with a friend. Fantastic new look. Great vibes and atmosphere. The new evening menu is amazing. The sharing platters are so good we wanted them all. We had the steak and melted Camembert platter with side dishes of king prawns in garlic and mussels with samphire. The food was exceptional. The cocktails were made very well. We tried several and were not disappointed. The price is good. We came away very happy. Will definitely be going back to try more. Well done cosalea.

Had our sons 1st birthday at Cosalea. Just out of lockdown and first opportunity to have friends and family together. Have to say we all enjoyed it. The room hire and the packed lunches for children and platters for adults for what was paid was more than fair. Plenty of food for all and even catered for 2 children including our birthday boy with allergies. Nice sized room for a small get together and was very clean (until we arrived with poppers and pinata!) Would recommend for anyone looking for a small party venue. We had around 35 guests could easily have had more. Space for our party games and tables and chairs.

Visited Cosalea on a number of occassions pre lockdown and now since restrictions have been lifted.
Cannot speak highly enough of the cafe, the breakfasts are delightful and you get a very large portion sizes.
Coffee's are amazing, great range for the kids too.
Staff are lovely, helpful and very efficient with covid regulations.
Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for something different.
