Coast to Coast (restaurant)

Coast to Coast is a restaurant chain based in the United Kingdom specialising in American foods.[1]

The company was established in 2011, when the first restaurant was opened at Brighton Marina.[2] At the beginning of 2020 there were 13 restaurants open across the United Kingdom,[3] but, as of July 2021, only the restaurant located in the Trafford Centre, Manchester, remains open, due to closures resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.[4] Coast to Coast is run by the Big Table, which also owns Bella Italia, Chiquito and Frankie & Benny's.[5] In March 2012, Coast to Coast won the New Concept Award at the Menu Innovation and Development Awards (MIDAS).[6] The restaurants branded Filling Station are the equivalent in Scotland and are also run by the Restaurant Group.[7]

In 2023, TRG sold its loss-making assets (which included Coast to Coast), to The Big Table.[8]
