Teodora was great. The roast was nice but the beef was not pink as promised. The potatoes were also very large and not flavoursome. We put our own music on as it was silent

Food was delicious, the fish and chips was huge and really well cooked! Staff were polite and helpful and the young man who brought us the check gave us our drinks on the house because he said we were a nice family! We really appreciated the service received and would definitely come again and recommend to others.

Such a shame to be writing this but the food was awful husbands steak was tough as old boots overcooked. Cocktail I requested from list not on waitress iPad so not available. Both our meals were under par a very expensive evening for not good food. Won't mention the seating plan was moved twice! We've been to sandpiper before and had lovely meals but unfortunately won't b returning.

My wife and I called into the Sandpiper for a late lunch on 14th August just after 1445 or thereabouts and the restaurant was not especially busy at this time. We ordered a 2 course lunch which included 2 mains (smoked haddock & spinach fishcakes/chicken, bacon & avocado salad) and 2 desserts (mini blackberry & apple crumble with 2 hot drinks included). The lattes were good when they eventually arrived some 20 minutes later. We then had to wait at least 30 minutes for the main course to be served. The fishcakes, which were described as ‘crispy ’ were definitely that and the tenderstem broccoli, which was very ‘al dente’, was mostly burnt black, both had obviously been left unattended under a grill and were, to put it politely, overcooked. I had problems cutting the broccoli with an ordinary knife and would have found a Stanley knife a more appropriate utensil! Next came the desserts, or, to be more precise, they didn’t come for at least 30 minutes, after we finished our meals, even though our plates had been taken away and several waitresses were continuously going backwards and forwards to serve other tables. We eventually had to ask when we could expect to get our desserts which, judging by the total time they took to arrive must have been lost in the ‘mists of time’. At no time throughout our meal were we approached/asked if the meals/everything was all right - it certainly wasn’t fine by any standards! I am not blaming any particular member of staff for this debacle just the general ‘ethos’/lack of co-ordination/communication between your staff/management! I didn’t bother raising my dissatisfaction with your staff since I doubted that it would have achieved a positive result and then left feeling somewhat aggrieved at about 1610. Yours disgruntled, Philip Lavender

Best fish and chips I've had in ages! We love this pub. It has a really relaxed atmosphere. My husband had a burger which he thoroughly enjoyed and our daughter was very impressed with her pasta. Apparently it was better than mine 🤷 Jacqueline (sorry if I've spelt your name wrong) was a really attentive server, couldn't fault her. We had a nice chat with Amy too, who was incredibly welcoming. We'll definitely be back.

Have not been for about 4years decided to come today for dinner. Weather fantastic. So really nice sitting outside.waited about 30 minutes for food which we didn't mind. Had the steak burger. And my partner had the buttermilk chicken burger. Thee frys were cold .and did not think much of the burger for the price £17.00 for cold frys and a burger that's loaded with gunk. Had better in MC Donald's . 😔 Sorry but that's my opinion and certainly won't be back. Don't mind the price if the food is good. But did not enjoy did eat half of it as was hungry but very disappointed.

Went last Monday. The food was amazing, really tasty and came quickly after ordering. I also felt that it was value for money in terms of quality and portion size compared with other restaurants in the area. The staff were really helpful and attentive. Our server was Ross who recommended so items and obviously had a real knowledge of the menu when we told him what we liked. I felt like he couldn’t have been more attentive and we never went without a drink for more than 5 minutes which was great. Will be coming again and would definitely recommend.

Upon arrival my wife and I were shown to a table and the lady took our drinks order. They didn't arrive for a good ,20 min and only then after we chased up the order. When the soup came we had to send it back as it was luke warm. Would you believe that when it came back it was still luke warm so had to be sent back again. How can you get soup so wrong? When the main meals came they also were only just warm. We didn't send these back as we were just fed up by then. All in all, extremely disappointed with the whole event and won't be returning. We are not awkward people, just people out for a Sunday meal without any hassle.
