About this menu

The Coast Inn in Colchester is a family restaurant on Coast Rd, serving food that runs from breakfast through to puddings. Starters include seafood chowder with crusty bread, and the mains take in homemade lasagna, garlic bread & salad as well as sweet potato & mushroom curry with rice. Today's Specials, Fish Of The Day, Soup Of The Day and Ciabattas add further choices, there are sides and extras to go with them, and the drinks list covers white, red, rosé and sparkling wine.

Breakfast comes in ample and small sizes, each with a veggie version, so an ample breakfast or a small veggie breakfast can match an earlier start and a bigger or smaller appetite. Soup Of The Day or a ciabatta makes for a simple midday order, while a main with chunky chips from the sides makes a fuller meal. Anyone wanting to finish on something sweet can turn to the Pudding section, and the wine sections are there for choosing a bottle to go with the food.
