Costa Coffee
There are only three Italian Master Roasters in the UK – and they all work for Costa Coffee. They ensure that our coffee is slowly roasted the traditional way, using our unique blend of beans for a fuller, heartier flavour. To stay at the top of our game, we focus on quality control at every stage of the process, from bean to cup. And unlike any other company in the UK, we roast our own beans to ensure the unique blend is perfect every time.
Costa at The Dolphin offer customers somewhere to relax, socialise and unwind after a work out, swim or one of the many other activities the centre offers.
A food menu will be available throughout the day for our customers. Start your day with some tasty pastries, porridge pots or (for the naughtier ones) a bacon muffin or sample a delicious range of lunchtime options including paninis, pasta or salads.
We respectively request that only food and drink purchased on our premises can be consumed on site. However, we do understand that exceptions need to be made where there are specific dietary requirements that we cannot cater for.
