It was a brilliant birthday meal in The Beachside Restaurant at The Cooden Beach Hotel. From start to finish all the hotel staff were warm and welcoming and the food tasty and seasonal. The restaurant service was exceptional, enhanced by a window table with enviable views over the lawns to the beachside terrace and sea.
The hotel is located about two miles from Bexhill-on-Sea famous for its stylish and popular 1930's De la Warr Pavilion http://www.dlwp.com/about-us/ and contemporary seafront complete with its impressive range of coastal planting.
Business was steady in the restaurant with a number of family groups enjoying a leisurely Saturday lunch and plenty of people in the bar and outside on the terrace. It was good to see lots going on in this popular hotel including a wedding and an 80th birthday party
The menu http://www.thecoodenbeachhotel.co.uk/the-beachside-restaurant/ has plenty of choice, starters of salmon terrine and crispy prawns got us off to a great start.
There was certainly a fishy theme going on, I chose the sole with New Jersey potatoes which was delicious although I was also slightly envious of the mouthwatering haddock and chips.
We were far too full for desserts, but they did look good and I loved the special birthday table decorations.
The Bexhill-on-Sea area has plenty to offer and The Cooden Beach Hotel with its relaxed atmosphere and great customer service should certainly be included in your day out.
