The Cove Cafe | The Cove Chapel

The Cove is a distinctive coastal venue in Robin Hood’s Bay, North Yorkshire, combining a characterful former chapel with a stylish café bar, private terrace and beautiful sea views. The venue is available for weddings, receptions, parties, conferences and other private events, giving organisers a memorable setting beside the North Yorkshire coastline.

For couples, The Cove offers a licensed space for civil ceremonies and a complete wedding setting with exclusive use of the chapel, a sea-facing reception area, private outdoor space, a stocked bar and food options for the wedding breakfast. The venue can accommodate larger wedding celebrations of up to around 60 guests, while smaller gatherings can enjoy an intimate afternoon tea in the chapel or on the terrace for groups of up to 20 people. Evening celebrations can continue outdoors, creating a relaxed atmosphere for dining, drinks and dancing with the sea as a backdrop.

The team can assist with the practical and creative details of the day, including catering, drinks, entertainment and finishing touches. They also work with local suppliers and can discuss bespoke arrangements based on the couple’s plans. Beyond weddings, the venue is promoted for parties, conferences and events, making it suitable for organisers looking for a more unusual location than a standard function room.

During regular café service, visitors can enjoy speciality coffee, tea, homemade food, artisan cakes and selected vegan and gluten-free choices. For event organisers, this adds a welcoming hospitality element to a venue known for its coastal position, intimate scale and flexible approach to private hire.
