We had Sunday high tea. Of our 5, we had a lactose sensitive person and 2x gluten free. With prior warning, the chef was able to accommodate our GF needs and minimise dairy. The teas are tasty, and the mix of flavours in the range of high tea offerings was excellent. Happy customers - 3 boomers 2 Gen X. Thanks.

We had great experience at Coast. The service was impeccable, particular mention to Grainne, who looked after us so well. Nothing was a problem for her or the team. We needed to change tables (which was probably a bit of a pain for them) but they accommodated us perfectly. We had the bottomless lunch and the food was amazing as was the drink selection. Would wholly recommend this venue.

"Iran is a country with a diverse geography and ethnic population. It sits at the centre of the former Kingdom of Persia, one of the world’s oldest continuous major civilisations. Iran forms a bridge between the Middle East and the Far East in the centre of the ancient Silk Road, a major trading route which goes back tens of thousands of years.

Persian cuisine has influenced many world cuisines, and has absorbed elements from other cuisines as well. It's no surprise that Persian ingredients such as saffron, pomegranate have made their way into other cuisines! As ancient traders took their wares to the corners of the world, they traded goods, bringing back the eating habits and ingredients from Greece, Rome, Turkey, Russia and India. Today's Persian cuisine traces its roots to ancient Persian ingredients and recipes, and is enriched by the great tastes imported from the rest of
