Coast Birkdale

If you're looking for somewhere a bit special in Birkdale Village, Coast is a solid shout. It's an independent restaurant that really focuses on fresh, local ingredients which makes a difference. They've got a good rep – 4.7 stars from over 200 Google reviews, which is saying something. It's not the cheapest, mind you, expect to pay around £££.

Coast is good for both couples wanting a nice night out, and families – I've seen plenty of both in there. The atmosphere is relaxed but smart, not too stuffy. It's open from 10am most days, but closed Mondays and Tuesdays. They do late nights on Friday and Saturday, closing at midnight.

It's definitely one of the more popular spots in Birkdale, especially with the locals, so it can get busy. If you're thinking of going on a Friday or Saturday night, I'd strongly recommend booking a table to avoid disappointment. You can give them a ring on 01704 568067 or check out their website.

Worth noting that Coast is right in the heart of Birkdale Village, so parking can be a bit tricky, especially on weekends. Give yourself a bit of extra time to find a spot.
