About Us

Tucked away in the quiet seaside village of Oceanscape, the Cove is more than just a beach bar, it's a little slice of salt-air serenity, built on a dream (and a fair bit of sand in our shoes).

The idea for the Cove was born one windswept evening when two lifelong friends, Ellie and Jack, were watching the tide roll in with fish and chips on their laps and a bottle of local cider between them. As the sun dipped below the horizon, Jack turned and said, “You know what Oceanscape needs? A place where people can sit just like this, but with better chairs, better drinks, and maybe a bit of music.”

That idea turned into scribbles on napkins, long talks by the fire, and eventually, a leap of faith. After months of wrangling wood, weatherproofing windows, and taste-testing far too many cocktails (someone had to do it), the Cove opened its doors in the summer of 2022.

We built this place for locals, sea-lovers, walkers, surfers, and anyone who needs a breather. Our aim is simple: good food, great drinks, friendly faces, and the kind of atmosphere where shoes are optional and sunsets are celebrated.

Everything at the Cove is inspired by the sea, from our seasonal menu and beachy cocktails to the driftwood décor and ocean views from every table. Whether you're dropping in for lunch, catching golden hour on the terrace, or staying late for live music, you're always welcome.

So come as you are, bring your sandy feet and salty stories, we can't wait to meet you.
