What a lovely establishment. Wonderful to sit in a lovely diner by the sea without feeling ripped off because you’re by the sea.
Excellent vegan choices , very friendly and wonderful coffee. 🤩
Forgot to take photos because we tucked in! Clean plates all round.
Had a small breakfast and a normal breakfast. Both ok but very stingy on the bacon with just the oval bit. Food was also warm, not hot, except for the beans. Orange juice fine, hot chocolate good (not too sweet) coffee ok ( not a lot of depth.) Trying to order on the app not good as promised 'code' never arrived. Why have lots of signs promoting cash payment, alonside lots of signs promoting QR code ordering and payment by phone?

Thank you for responding. In return I would encourage you a) Respond slightly faster than 6 months later, b) learn from comments made rather be defensive.
What you are reading in a review (when you get round to it) is the opinion of a customer. Your customer's thoughts and opinions should matter to you and be taken as a learning opportunity rather than be a provocation to go 'on the defensive/ attack'. Especially, perhaps, when the customer is not simply taking the chance to have a go at your business. I have been posting reviews for over 25 years and ran my own customer- facing businesses for 48 years. What I reported was what I saw and how I experienced your offering. Your reaction is a little inexperienced. I did, by the way, award you 4 stars. 85% of my reviews are 4 or 5 stars. It is now 3.
Sunny morning on lovely outdoor terrace. Scrambled eggs on toast plentiful, perfect, fresh crisp side salad. Generous . Toasted currant teacake. All toasted perfectly. Staff always lovely. Been many times for beers when staying at sands. First time we ate here today and will definitely we eating brekkie here every day later in 2025 when we stay over a few days. Oh yes and the teapots are cute.
I don't think it is feasibly possible for me to give enough of a glowing review for this wonderful place.
We were originally attracted to this place because it had a dog friendly sign and it was our furry companions 1st Gotcha day.
Not only were the staff extremely friendly but also gave us a bowl of water for our pup.
The prices were more than back home but I always expect as such when ordering at the seaside where the fish is fresher.
Well, when the food arrived we were taken aback. The portions were stupendous.
However, I am always about substance over sizes and I have to say, the chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy and soft on the inside, they were delicious.
Then, there's the fish. It was humongous and it was practically glowing a wonderful golden colour. The batter was crispy but not hard and not oily, you cannot ask for better there.
The actual fish itself was so perfectly soft and cloud like that I wouldn't have even needed teeth to eat it. The taste was just fantastic. Our pup thought so too!
I, foolishly, with bigger eyes than my stomach, ordered a side order of onion rings. The onion rings were so fresh and crispy and juicy. I am ashamed to say I couldn't finish them, but they did come home with me!
After that, we had dessert, they were out of ice cream but very kindly went to their sister shop and brought us some. I cannot think of anything else to ask for from an eating experience.
The staff were warm and welcoming and apologetic for us having to wait for the ice cream. When it only took 5 minutes.
We will absolutely be coming back!
Tldr: Massive portions, delicious food, friendly staff and dog friendly.
Unfortunately not a great experience, I try not to leave negative feedback. We complained to the manager but don't feel she really listened to us. So had to right this review. Our side salads were not fresh at all, lettuce was browning on the edges..The waitress did change a salad, then we realised we should have had coleslaw, but this was missing...I had a jacket potato with a vegetarian 3 bean chilli, the chilli was nice but the potato wasn't properly cooked on the inside so couldn't eat it...very disappointed especially as its £10.50....We asked to speak to the manager, then waited over 10mins she didn't turn up, I finally went to look for her...
She just seemed to agree with me and was quite non concerned but did refund one of the meals. Hopefully in the long term good quality fresh food will be served.
