The Cosy Corner
Probably the Most Unique Restaurant on the Island
I don't want you to think from this statement that you are going to walk into a 5 star Michelin style restaurant, but what we do, you will struggle to find anywhere else.
We pride ourselves in the quality of our food and hospitality and the relaxed atmosphere that makes the experience of eating at the Cosy something you will want to return to.
I think that the concept of the Cosy Corner originally was to provide food to the quality that we would like and enjoy.
Whilst in business for many years in the UK we found ourselves eating out quite a bit. After a while I started to realise that most restaurant food was quite poor. I know this sounds harsh but we found at the time most were serving frozen veg that tasted of very little including the potato products and poorly cooked protiens that were probably frozen too. I asked myself, once the novelty of eating out had worn off, "would I be happy with this meal if i had made it at home?" and most of the time the answer would be "No"
I decided that when we started I would not serve a meal unless it was fresh and how I would eat it at home!
We started with just 10 items on our menu. These items were a balance of good quiality home cooked foods.
The Famous T-Rex Challenge The Ecky Thump
Since then I have worked hard to develop new foods for the Cosy. It took
2 years of trying to perfect our burgers. I would not be happy until
they were exceptionally good. i tried different cuts of meat, different
fat contents fillers and spic blends and different thicknesses of
burger.
I studied the cooking techniques of the burger and how different cooking styles affected the meat.
I
settled with the burger we have now. The burger so tasty we have
impressed many chefs that have tried them and that is the ultimate
compliment for me! an example
"All I can say is amazing people, amazing food! Seriously you will not
find a better burger anywhere in Europe, possibly the world! Addictive
is all I can say, I would urge everyone in the area to go and indulge,
because you would be missing out on a treat if you don't, and this
coming from a fussy chef who thinks he knows best!
"
Since then we have icreased the size of our menu and have similar
comments about many of our dishes from those working in the food
industry!
Our serene and peaceful secluded gardens make for a
relaxing atmosphere, day or night and we offer a welcoming hospitality
to all.
People flock from all over to sample our handmade burgers. Fresly seasoned and pressed just before hitting the grill.
Our
traditional pies are cooked fresh to order and are made from a
traditional recipe handed down through generations of our family.
As I said, we
are under no illusion that The Cosy Corner is a posh restaurant, in
fact quite the opposite. We aim for a more relaxed environment where
you, the customer can feel at home. You wont find us in Black trousers,
white shirts and ties and don't expect the staff to bow and call you Sir
or Madam!! our customers are our friends and that is how we want them
to feel.
We make no bones about the fact that you may have to wait
for your food, sometime, when busy, and only when busy!! but, when you
get it you will see it was worth the wait, we cant cook food freshly and
fast, and out of the two I know what I demand from the kitchen!! Fresh
tasty food.
The Cosy is a great place to relax and have a laugh to
accompany your meal, so to most, it's not waiting, it's enjoying the
experience. We say, if you don't want to come here and wait for your
food, then go somewhere else where your food is waiting for you!!
Pop
along and meet us and enjoy the food and atmosphere that keeps people
coming back time after time. We look forward to meeting you.
The menu now
We have a Classic Greek menu, next a Traditional British and International menu and last but not least we have the American Diner menu.
We also have a Childrens Menu with classics like English Fish Fingers, Chicken Nuggets, Spag Bol, Chicken Curry and English Sausage. Apart from the Kids Menu we will do small portions of 90% of the main menu, so a great choice for kids that are not so adventurous and those that would like to try something different.
Kids Southern Fried Chicken Strips always a favourite!
The Greek Menu

I was taught this by a local chef and when I tried it I knew where I was going with it. The style of cooking enhanced the amazing flavours that compliment the Lamb without destroying the complex flavour.
I have put the same efforts into re-creating many traditional Greek classics that are highly reviewed from the Cosy Corner.
The menu holds about 10 Classic Greek dishes that are what I would class as the most popular.
Kleftico, Stifado and Kokinisto traditional stews and grilled Swordfish, Oven baked Chicken and a Mixed Grill that crowns the menu.
We also have many Greek specials including our Mousaka which is highly acclaimed.
The British & International Menu

Read about our Homemade Steak pies from our pie menu, there are plenty of reviews.
Our Classics include Spag Bol and a superb Asian influenced Chicken Curry, Lamb Cutlets served with Fresh Creamy Mashed potatoes, Fresh Veg and our Real homemade gravy topped with 2 Yorkshire pudding buns!
If you feel like a bit of home comfort then this is it!
We designed this menu for those that either fancy a break from the local food or maybe love the Greek holiday but maybe do not enjoy Greek food. We believe that peoples diet prefferences should not affect there enjoyment of their Greek holiday. We hear it all the time "We don't come all the way to Greece to eat English food". I can't believe that people say this. We all know you come here for the Sun, scenery, amazing beaches, the nightlife, the amazing people and the culture, but there is nothing to say you have to enjoy the food or there is nothing wrong with having a break from it! Trust me, many hardened Grekophiles who have been coming here for many years have broken at the Cosy Corner and have no regrets about it once they see what it is about.
If the sight of a roast dinner that has been Traditionally prepared as we do it, offends you, then please do not come down, we respect your choice and we know, even if you do, knowing what we do, you will complain about it!
We are here for open minded people who enjoy good food and hospitality and no Bull.....
The American Diner Menu
In the center, well it needs no introduction. The T-Rex Burger.
On the right, our very own Shorties Southern Fried Chicken Strips, Chips & Dip.
Check our Menu page to see our full range of American Diner stuff which includes a classic Burger Menu and an Extreme Burger Menu. It also has an American dog menu with chilli and Cheese dogs and double dogs with our classic cheese sauce added to the menu this year.
New to the American Diner Menu 2013
Using a Classic Memphis Rub these baby's are marinated and basted with the rub.
They are smoked and slow roasted until the meat is ready to fall from the bone!
But the beauty or these ribs are! We just remove the skin and leave the whole Pancetta on the bone! Before roasting they weigh over 1 kilo!! That's over 2lb in wieght! alright! the cooking process lowers the weight a little but it is still some plateful of delicious meat! We recommend a serving of salad or a small jacket potato as a side with these. Unless of course you have an extra large appetite!
