Only ordered because my usual was closed, food was very bland, salt n pepper chicken was overcooked and dry, bbq sauce just tasted of water, ribs were dry, chips cold, and the bottle of coke that came was flat, from a sealed bottle, will not be ordering again

Why is this place no longer open as a restaurant? It was always our favourite place to eat at and since Covid has been takeaway only.

Gutted to say that after our experience on Friday night we won’t be ordering again. Sands was our ‘go to’ Chinese as it was the best in the area but we spent almost £30 and the food was inedible. Apparently they’ve recently changed ownership. The chicken balls were stodgy and rubbery. The sweet and sour pork Hong Kong style was awful, barely any meat in it anymore and what was in it was grey and very tough. I also ordered salt and pepper chilli squid some pieces were undercooked and some pieces were so tough I couldn’t bite through it. Very disappointing, won’t be ordering again sadly.

Possibly the worst food I’ve ever payed for, chicken was on the brink of being revived , the curry sauce was just a tablespoon of brown water on the rice , and the entire lot got binned , last time I order from here

Ordered online and said a time, got there a bit early but only took a couple of minutes. Food was a good portion size and still hot when I got home. Had the vegetable curry which was delicious with plenty of veg in there. My steamed rice was lovely too. Have used Sands many times for my currys and never had a problem.

Let's start with the good, having not ordered a takeaway for a long time from here (it use to be my go too,.just not had the money of late) I went for it tonight, hungry and couldn't be bothered to cook ! Ordered the prawn toast, sweet and sour chicken balls, satay prawns on skewers special.rice and my fav a large spring roll and extra sweet and sour sauce, got the bag of prawn crackers for free. It was hot, it was on time, the prawn skewers, I ate two they were quite nice. The chicken balls, took one bite and that was enough for me, it just didn't taste right, slimy chicken and just a rubbish taste, the rest remain in the bag, the sauce watery, like it had been thinned down. Prawn toast, okay, slightly over done but tasty. Didn't even bother with the rice after I went to my spring roll, no taste except for grease,it was stuck to the bag with just grease, when it used to be so crunchy and yummy..vile taste still hanging in my mouth now and is all I can smell... all in all a total let down for the 30 odd quid I paid, whatever happened to that great takeaway that once was ! I for one won't be recommending or going back again

We order weekly, and have noticed over the last few week, the food going down hill. The Salt and pepper chicken, was over cooked and tasted like in was cooked in old fat. I ordered satay chicken which was dry and had to bin it as I couldnt even bit it. All I can say, is they must have a different chef. Shame, used to really love the foood here.

We have regularly ordered takeaway from Sands for nearly 10 years. Their food has always been hot on arrival and of a good standard. I now use their website to order but they've always been polite and helpful on the phone. Their delivery drivers are also very polite. During lockdown they were very busy but still maintained good standards. A real treasure of a business in our community.

I ordered a take away yesterday of Singapore noodles, rice with shrimps and pork and crispy beef. Unfortunately, there wasn't much meat or anything in the two mains, except plenty of rice and noodles and the crispy beef didn't seem to have any beef in it. Think I'll stick to the Chinese next door from now on.

Ordered from this place tonight for the first time on the basis of recommendations from locals. The meal was over 2 and a half hours late and cold when it arrived.

Ordered a takeaway which took an hour to arrive which would normally be fine but the order was cold and needed to be reheated. One of the dishes tasted awful and the chips were dry and also cold. We phoned the manager to be told that the food could not be cold and he refused to offer any resolution. Awful food and awful customer service.

Delivery was early and food was hot that's all was satisfactory with the food. Most definitely the worst Chinese takeaway I have ever eaten. Love my takeaway on a Saturday night but never again will I come here. Miles behind anywhere I have had before. Missing rice with dishes and prawn crackers smashed to bits and as thin as crisps. But live and learn, bloody disgrace

Decided to have a change from our local - Big MistakeOrdered a Kong Po Chicken, asked for it to be extra hot, turned out to be very bland, no taste and certainly not spicy!BBQ spare ribs must have been from the skinniest animal ever - no meat on the bone at all.Chips were cold and very dry! Tasted like they had been from cooked at lunch time!Ordered Chicken Fried Rice and ended up with boiled rice!Duck and mushroom had no taste and very greasy.Prob the worst Chinease take away we have had many years!!

We decided to try Sands Chinese since my wife’s favourite cuisine is Chinese. Was advised by the waitress the food would take an hour for us to receive our food due to it being a fairly large order, which we happily agreed. We advised that we’re located at the barracks, and need to contact us before leaving so we can arrange to pick up fromThe gate, which the lady reassured which is fine. 1 hour and 15 minutes later, still no update. We contacted sands and the lady apologised and said it’s on the way and wait another 10 minutes. So we agreed again. 15 minutes later, still no food. At this point I had lost my patience. I had advised them if it’s easier if I come collect would they offer compensation for the wait, which they agreed. Arrived and collected. They gave us £3 off our £48 order and a bag of prawn crackers, despite being told lies and wasted my time. However, food was quite tasty and we all did enjoy once we actually got to eat. Overall 2/5. Will give this place another shot.

Extremely disappointed with the quality of food I received this evening. They messed my order up, by the time the food came everyone else’s food ended up being cold. I ordered the sweet and sour hing king style and it was just covered in so much salt. I should’ve stuck with Hong Kong Chinese instead

I love going to visit my friend in Wiltshire because it means that I can go to sands, my favourite restaurant.They offer an all you can eat where you don’t have to go up and pick from food that has been sitting around, instead you choose a couple of dishes each time and they are cooked to order for you, the food is always delicious and they offer a number of dishes that you don’t find in many other places! If you are looking for a good place to eat out then look no further, you will not be disappointed!

Well this used to be a very good Chinese, until after trying to order a meal in the box four times with boiled rice and receiving egg fried, not good (I have a chicken and egg allergy). All four times I specific stated BOILED RICE and informed the staff of my allergy. No sorry that was too hard for the person in the kitchen, that person is not worthy of the title chef. This also happened when myself and family were dining in the restaurant, I ordered a bowl of mushroom soup and explained again about my allergy, the soup arrived with mushrooms and plenty of chicken. If anyone who reads this and has any allergies Dont eat here.

Well this was our first time at Sands and we were not disappointed. Sunday teatime the restaurant was quiet before the evening diners. Started with 7 starters to share on a lovely hot plate too. Finger bowl and prawn crackers automatically. Good start. Then soup, then duck and pancakes. Yikes!! We were full already before the main course. Decided on desserts instead. Good plan. Oh well we will have to return to try the main courses. Very attentive staff.

You have to choose seven starters from a very good range followed by soup and then aromatic duck in pancakes. You then can have as many main courses as you like, one at a time. Service is very good. Choice of beers ids limited but well priced.

As the title suggests, I had a Chinese craving so we decided on this restaurant. We pre booked, thank goodness because it was packed (Saturday night) we were seated at a table for two. The restaurant has a slightly "cafe" feel. Not really a cosy romantic restaurant. The staff are attentive and service is pretty quick. The menu is described as buffet, but unlike usual buffets, you just order lots of food...lots and lots. The food was all lovely. No complaints.

The buffet menu is fantastic and for a set price you can order as many starters and mains as you like. Unlike many Chinese buffets the food is not left out on a hot plate for anyone to pick at, it is cooked fresh to order which is fantastic. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.
