Sands, A Place By The Sea

Lovely staff and great food which came quickly and the table was cleared when finished, would recommend and will be back

The food and staff are great, felt we were abroad sitting outside with the sun and a Pam tree beside us, will definitely be back.

When walking in all tables had to unclean plates and cutlery. When taking our order they touched it with their hands after touching hair. Sharp knife’s were unattended. When asked to clean a table they brought a dirty cloth over and wiped the crumbs and stuff onto our laps. There hair is going all over fresh food View menu

Great spot for a light lunch . Easy to park outside , or park up the hill or in station car park and walk down . We all had the soup , homemade and delicious , and had coffee and cake after . The staff were all great , very enthusiastic and friendly . I grew up in the village , left 45 years ago this place is a great reason to visit.

Been 10 months since our last visit. It is rare that a place can be so consistently excellent over a long period of time. Staff must change but they always seem to come up with lovely, dedicated people, serving an impressive range of food. To call Sands a beech cafe is to undervalue maybe because its informal and cafe style. But restaurant quality.

Fabulous all round experience. Very friendly and helpful staff definitely made the experience special. The breakfast was the best I have had for a very long time fresh and perfectly cooked and presented so nicely on the plate compliments to the chef but also the suppliers of the great ingredients. Had the small breakfast minus baked beans and was very generous serving. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back to try the delicious looking cakes! View menu

Food is always very good here so much better than you might expect from a beech cafe although this is in every way far better than your average beech cafe! We are fairly regular visitors and are always impressed. But their best rating is service. Their Covid process is simple but very effective. The whole operation is very professional. Very busy people all being very busy people but never compromising on spending that little bit of time making sure. Its a joy to watch. I can think of a few restaurants with fantastic reputations who should send their staff here as a training away day!

Visited today for breakfast and was not disappointed. Arrived and got the usual quick, friendly greeting. We were offered a table inside or outside, sat inside as it was a bit chilly. We ordered the cooked breakfasts along with the Breakfast Stack from the specials board OMG it was special! It comes with black pudding, egg bacon on a brioche bun with cheese sauce. As I’m not a fan of black pudding they swapped it for smacked salmon, it was absolutely delicious! The eggs were cooked perfectly and the mix of salmon bacon was surprisingly tasty. The cheese sauce was very subtle, not over-poweringly cheesy. I would highly recommend this! The cooked breakfasts were equally good and we came away f...

Really nice Cafe by the beach and have visited over many years ..albeit occasionally. I can honestly say it has improved year on year. Saturday morning and its not long opened for business....a nice welcome from everyone ....service time of food really good. This next line is purely for the people who operate the cafe.... ...keep doing what you are doing it really works. Just a couple of little things .... when picking from the menu and looking for a vegetarian breakfast there are only a few items you can choose which fit this criteria ....the young lady serving was a little officious without being knowledgeable of the laminated menu card......followed by hand gestures as if people were not...
