About New Coast Kitchen

New Coast Kitchen is a relaxed restaurant in the heart of Croyde, North Devon.

Originally opened with a focus on modern British fine dining, the restaurant quickly gained recognition for its cooking, including national guide listings and AA Rosettes.

While we’re proud of that chapter, the restaurant has evolved into something that better reflects the rhythm of coastal life.

Today New Coast Kitchen is an all-day kitchen, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in a welcoming and relaxed space.

The focus remains the same: great ingredients, thoughtful cooking and food that people want to come back for again and again.

Whether it’s morning coffee, a long lunch or dinner with friends, the aim is simple good food, good company and an atmosphere that feels easy and enjoyable.

From the Head Chef

Martin Baylis

“I grew up in a world of food. English food from dad, Japanese food from mum, French and German food from where we lived at various times…

As I went through school, catering and home economics were by far my fortes, right through to college. I loved the way that food could transform any experience and put a smile on people’s faces. It was always clear what I was destined to pursue. Fresh out of college as a fully trained chef, I was thrown in to a high-pressure commis chef role. It was an invigorating deep dive into the real world of cooking and I have not looked back since.

In more recent years I have developed and enriched my passion for cooking thoughtful, innovative food and I am delighted to share that passion with the people of Croyde and the surrounding areas!”

Only the best ingredients

Amary Farm, an organic, family business from Ilfracombe that produces fresh vegetables and herbs, supply our seasonal vegetables and salads. We work very closely with them to stay close to nature, regularly updating our menu according to the best available ingredients. Celtic Fish, a top family business who work with many small fishing boats and shellfish producers, supply us with the freshest possible fish and shellfish.

Woolley Farm, owned and run by a group of local farmers, supply our meat. They rear beautiful grass-fed Devon Ruby Red beef cattle and incredible lambs. We have worked closely with their butcher on salt and dry ageing techniques to enhance flavour and tenderness. Having a close relationship with suppliers is so important as their job is just as hard as ours and we can only cook great food with the great produce they provide.
