ABOUT
Kokomo is open early til late serving modernised coastal cuisine to share. Our plates are fresh and thought provoking. We are inspired by both our local suppliers and their sustainable fresh products as well as global coast lines, from New Zealand and the Pacific to Asia and beyond.  Kokomo showcases coastal cuisine by marrying fresh, simple ingredients and modern cooking techniques with elements of fusion. 

WHAT IS MODERN COASTAL CUISINE?
When we are talking about coastal cuisine aren’t just talking about fish or seafood, we include everything around it too, from coastal lamb to samphire, there’s so much more to it. Typically coastal cuisine is prepared using simple, tried and tested cooking techniques whilst focussing on high quality, fresh ingredients including seafood and seasonal produce,  at Kokomo we are combining the fresh + simple preparation techniques with elements of fusion from coastal areas all over the globe highlighting New Zealand, Australia, Asia, and South America. 

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Great food should be shared. Our menus have been designed to share with friends, family + loved ones- perfect for Pina Colada-fuelled catchups or romantic dinners. 

SHARED PLATES
Our menu has been designed to entice and excite, we encourage you to share your excitement with friends and family. Our food is all delivered to your table as it is ready, so please remember when you order, that you are ordering for the table. 

DIETARIES
We are always happy to accomodate requests where ever possible, but please remember we use seafood, gluten and soy heavily in our kitchen, so we can never guarantee traces may not be present.

TABLES
We have a mixture of bar height and low tables, stools, chairs and booths, when you book with us you are booking a seat, we have a limited number of seats in each area, so we can’t always guarantee which area you will be in- it you have a preference please let us know when you book and we will do our very best to accommodate your request.

HOW LONG SHOULD WE EXPECT TO DINE HERE?
Tables of 2-4 guests are generally reserved for 1.5 hours, and 6+ for 2 hours, should this vary on any given service, this will be noted in your booking confirmation email, or by our team when we call to confirm your booking.

WHAT IS THE KITCHEN PASS?
Our Kitchen Pass is seating as close to the kitchen as possible, you can watch everything happening, and directly engage with the kitchen staff if you wish to. You will be seated on bar height chairs are directly in front of where we cook and create your dishes. Please note for this area guests are seated alongside one another. This is especially important for groups of 4+ guests to note in terms of holding conversation. If you are coming as a social group to have a long overdue catch-up, we suggest you don’t request this table and dine at our other tables allowing conversation between you.
