About Coal Kitchen Restaurant & Cocktail Bar Gloucester Quays

Coal Kitchen Restaurant & Cocktail Bar Gloucester Quays sits at Gloucester Quays, serving a roast menu on Sundays with Yorkshire pudding, and running a bottomless brunch alongside its cocktail list. Halal options are available throughout, and dogs are welcome inside the dining room. The drinks programme centres on cocktails that include a Cherry Bakewell serve, with piña coladas made on request and Grolsch on tap. A private dining room at the back accommodates groups, and the room opens onto an outdoor seating area for warmer days. Gluten-free choices sit on the menu for those who need them, and a service charge is added to the bill.

Customer Review Summary

Bottomless brunch and the warm, attentive front-of-house team are what most reviewers return for, with several singling out the flat iron steak, belly pork starter, burgers with blue cheese sauce, and sea bass. The Cherry Bakewell cocktail and Grolsch on tap also draw mention. One diner describes an embarrassing service-charge moment after a pricey sirloin mix-up, and another flags slow three-course timing on a quiet visit.

Featured reviews

  • Deborah Manley
    “Myself and my son had a fantastic time at our bottomless brunch. The food, drinks and outdoor area were all excellent but the best part was the exceptional service from a wonderful team of staff who were attentive, fun and lovely to chat to. Thank you for making it so special, we will be back! Deborah and Karl.”
  • Kirsty Clement
    “Very slow service. Waitress good but took ages for all 3 courses to arrive and not busy”
  • Rhiannon Trevethan
    “Our first time at Coal and it was such a fantastic experience!The two ladies who served our table were smiley, approachable and provide excellent service. We are already planning to come back and do another!Also Cherry Bakewell is now one of my favourite cocktails!”
  • Becca Jane
    “Came here for bottomless brunch many times including yesterday- always have brilliant service and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful!”
  • Martin
    “Went for lunch and found it a bit expensive for four at £160.00. Thought I had ordered the steak frites which was £10.00 but must had ordered the sirloin steak at £36.00 very expensive for this cut of meat. My mistake so just got on with it. When the bill comes the server said that there was a service charge of £18.54 which if I was not happy with they can take it off. It’s a bit embarrassing in front of your guest to say please take it off the bill. Why do restaurants do this.? Will not use any restaurant again if they do this. So Coal Kitchen will be on my list of restaurants not to use again. Change your service charge policy and let your customer decide if you have earned it.”
