Our Ghanaian founders, William & Francesca Quagraine, grew up surrounded by the aromatic kitchens of West Africa, where food was not just sustenance but a rich culinary of traditions passed down through generations and cultures intertwined. After moving from Ghana to the UK and experiencing the profound feeling of homesickness, they realized there was something missing. The Quagraines envisioned a place where people could experience the true essence of Ghanaian cuisine and form a community representing a home away from home. This vision led to the creation of The Gold Coast, a restaurant that embodies the spirit and flavors of their homeland. Throughout their journey, many non-Ghanaians supported The Quagraines and patronized their brand and have shared special parts of their culture which is why Gold Coast does not cater specifically to Ghanaians but for the whole of Africa.

    We had a great experience at Shwen Shwen in Sevenoaks. The dishes were beautifully presented, full of flavour, and there was an excellent variety to choose from, making it easy for everyone to find something they enjoyed. The staff were incredibly attentive throughout our meal, providing friendly and efficient service without being intrusive. The pricing was also very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. Great addition to Sevenoaks restaurants.

The service was good, very friendly staff and welcoming. If large group would recommend booking ahead to not be disappointed.

    Wonderful food - the kelewele, beef stew, mutton skewers and jollof are so good - and a really buzzing atmosphere. Busy on a Monday night, lots of happy chatter, a real community hangout. Service friendly albeit a bit chaotic!
