Coast Restaurant - Hythe

At the end of a hectic day exploring the town, we opted to have a late lunch at Coast, one of the restaurants located in the South Lanes.

It was a sweltering Thursday afternoon, and my wife and I were extremely hungry.

Lovely afternoon tea with limitless tea/coffee/water. Adequate sandwiches, scones, miniature cakes to fill you up. Great service, not too intrusive but still around if you needed anything.

We were given a gift voucher for afternoon tea at The Hythe Imperial. The room is a bit soulless and the waitress put music on which was a bit intrusive. Service at first was good but then our waitress just disappeared. Our finger sandwiches were already a little dry on serving, the scones were o.k. but the miniature cakes were not nice at all. Strange taste and texture. Nice to have bottomless coffee/tea if there was a waitress. I ordered a glass of wine which was lovely but at over £11 a glass it should have been. So all in all disappointing.

We were a little sceptical at first because we had read a few bad reviews. But this was completely unfounded. Everything was perfect. From the friendly staff to the delicious food. Simply fantastic!
