Vintage chic with retro vibes is being served up at Milford Waterfront’s newest restaurant. Owner Chris Vane opened COCO’s at the start of the summer season and is delighted with the response from customers as it goes from strength to strength.
COCO’s is the Port of Milford Haven’s latest tenant. Located in the Old Sail Loft building at Discovery Quay, the restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week as well as a wide range of home made cakes that are served throughout the afternoon. A fantastic selection of dishes are available on Friday and Saturday evenings using locally sourced produce. The décor has received widespread praise as it incorporates up-cycled materials with modern touches, as well as keeping in touch with Milford Haven’s industrial past.
In addition to owning COCO’s, Chris Vane also runs The Castle Inn in Little Haven and The Evergreen in Tenby. He said “To have a restaurant right on the water is what every restauranteur dreams of so this is a perfect fit for COCO’s. I feel very excited to be part of the plans to enhance the marina and docks and to see the Port’s Milford Waterfront project unfold.”
Property and Development Manager at the Port of Milford Haven, Clare Stowell, commented “COCO’s is a wonderful addition to the selection of cafés and restaurants on offer at Milford Waterfront. Chris has done a great job transforming the unit into a trendy and welcoming restaurant and I’m continually hearing great reviews from customers. We wish Chris every success for the rest of the summer and for the future.”

Notes to Editors
Milford Waterfront
Milford Waterfront is a multi-million pound regeneration project being led by the Port of Milford Haven. It aims to revitalise the marina and docks into a vibrant destination, adding to the existing mix of leisure, retail and dining businesses and boosting the economy by providing long term, sustainable jobs.
A number of flagship projects have already been completed at the site including the installation of new lock gates that have significantly reduced locking times and the construction of new fishing buildings for the industry.
The new development will also celebrate the arts, culture and heritage of the area, working in partnership with key stakeholders. The Port already hosts a busy calendar of events at the marina such as Torch Theatre Sunset Cinema screenings and awards ceremonies which add to the diverse range of attractions on the waterfront.
In February 2015, a resolution to grant consent was gained from Pembrokeshire County Council for the development and work is ongoing to finalise detailed plans that will soon be submitted to the local authority.
