We had pre-booked (and preordered) for a large group but on the day our numbers were cut down by half, due to the weather and illness. The staff at cote were very understanding and accommodating. We were warmly welcomed and our orders were organised perfectly. The food was great and the kids even had empty plates. Thank you! We look forward to coming back

Excellent food. Service was good rather than outstanding. Ambience was a little lacking on a cramped corner table with a speaker above our heads. Would definitely return but would prefer a different table. Overall very good value.
