Cosy Club

Absolutely fantastic! I am gluten free and eating out is a nightmare sometimes! But this experience was exceptional 😀 I was asked before being seated if I had any allergies and I was asked again when the drinks were ordered. My meal came out with GF flags , which made me confident that my meal was indeed gluten free! I will be coming here frequently when eating out! And our waitress Bonnie was so lovely 😊

I visited with family for an evening meal on a Saturday night, it was very quiet when we arrived as it was quite early in the evening and the races were on. I generally like the atmosphere of the Cosy Club restaurants but the unfinished ceiling and bright lights in this one just didn't do it for me nor really go with the usual vibe of the place however that's not a big issue. The food was very nice, much better than when I had first visited a few years ago. The menu is also much more varied than it used to be, with lots of gluten free and meat free options. I had the Roast vine tomato, vintage cheddar & mascarpone tart which was surprisingly delicious. It came with chips which I didn't think really went with a pastry, maybe some salad and coleslaw or something similar to that would have worked better, but I enjoyed the meal anyway. I didn't notice any pine nuts which were meant to come with it. I also had their Raspberry & Orange Blossom Tonic which was really tasty and refreshing. The service was somewhat where they let themselves down. Two of my family members had the same dish - the Harissa torn lamb shoulder which comes sprinkled with crispy chickpeas. The told the server they didn't like chickpeas and could they please have the meal without and the server told them "the chickpeas are really nice, they are crispy". I was confused by this because the response I expected would have been, okay we won't put the chickpeas on the top, not the server trying to convince 2 pensioners that they do in fact like chickpeas, because they're "really nice". On top of this, the interactions in general with this server were a little awkward throughout the evening and I just didn't get a warm or welcoming feeling from them at all. Not terrible by any means, just not great. Overall it was an okay meal and evening out but I won't be rushing back to this particular Cosy Club. P.S. - they still put the chickpeas on.

This place is absolutely amazing! As someone who follows a gluten-free diet, eating out can be a real challenge. However, this experience was exceptional. They asked about my allergies before seating me and again when taking our drink orders. My meal came out with clear gluten-free indicators, which gave me confidence that it was safe for me to eat. I will definitely be returning here often when dining out. And our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive.
