Stopped in on a road trip. The salt and pepper ribs were spot on&mdash;crispy and full of flavour. The real winner was their house red, a robust Shiraz that cut through the richness perfectly. Service was attentive without being fussy. A very pleasant surprise indeed.

The bed was incredibly comfortable. Mattress had just the right firmness, and the pillows were plump but not too soft. Woke up without any back ache.

Been coming here for years. The fish and chips are always a solid portion, and the flavour is spot on every single time. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Been coming here for years. Portions are always generous, food&#39;s cooked right and full of flavour. You get what you pay for, no surprises.

The team dinner was a hit. Food quality was excellent, and they called us when our table was ready. Nice touch.

Loved the modern, clean look. But what really got me was the vibe&mdash;so warm and cozy the moment you stepped inside. Felt like a little escape.

The service here is genuinely warm and attentive. Our server remembered our drink orders from last time, and the team just seems to enjoy what they do. It makes a real difference to the whole evening.

Simple, tasty food and very affordable. The curries are a solid choice, and the chicken bites with that smoky dip were pretty good. Portions are generous, which is always a plus.

Been here a few times now. Always get a friendly nod when I walk in. The lamb chops last night were spot on - cooked just right. Staff seem to genuinely like working here, which makes a difference.

The steak was cooked just right, and the staff were genuinely friendly. What really stood out was the wine list &ndash; they had a nice selection of local reds that paired perfectly with the meat. A solid spot.

Booked weeks ahead for the Sunday roast. Beef was spot on, really tender. The cauliflower cheese is the one. Worth the wait.

The portions are generous for the price, and you can tell the food is made in-house. I really liked the relaxed, rustic feel of the place&mdash;it&#39;s just a comfortable spot to have a meal without any fuss.

The steak and ale pie was just like my nan used to make. So comforting. The pastry was golden and flaky, the filling rich and hearty. It&#39;s the kind of food that just makes you feel good. A real taste of home.

Long time since I visited this restaurant wont be as long next time.Lovely and clean.Nicely decorated.  Polite and friendly staff.Food was delicious.We went as a family of four adults. Were all pleased and will definitely  recommend and return.

Desserts are the move here. Waffles and ice cream were solid. Fresh, good portions. That&rsquo;s it really.

Staff were so lovely, especially Becky the manager. She really looked after us and made the whole evening feel special. The atmosphere is warm and cosy, perfect for a catch-up with friends. Just a really nice spot.

The staff were really on top of things for a bank holiday - super friendly and helpful. They noticed my mum&#39;s walking stick right away and sorted out a better table for us without any fuss. Made the visit smooth.

Proper old-school pub, feels like stepping back in time. The low ceilings and dark wood are just right. Had the steak and ale pie, really hit the spot on a drizzly evening.

Solid pizza and a decent beer list. What really stood out for me was the lighting - it&#39;s just right, not too dim or harsh. Felt relaxed the whole time.

Cosy spot, good for a casual dinner. Had the lamb shank, it was tender and fell off the bone. Service was efficient, got the bill quickly when asked. A bit pricey for what it is, but the location is convenient.

Been here a few times. Staff are always helpful and friendly. They saw us with a wheelchair and immediately sorted out the ramp without any fuss. Makes a difference when things just work.

We love going to the Sandpiper for its good food and good service.  However, we were disappointed to see how much the prices had gone up.  We will have to think again about whether we return.

Been coming here for years. On a cold day, nothing beats their coffee by the fireplace. The old building just makes it feel right. A proper local spot.
