There has been a murder! Went to the Sandpiper for my wife’s birthday on the back of good reviews. The red wine was mediocre (Malbec and Merlot) but all was ok until the main course. My wife had pheasant. Or a piece of carpet underlay. Or the insole of a shoe. Or whatever it was. Because it wasn’t edible. It was so overdone and dry that it would be hard to describe it as anything other than murder in the 1st degree. And was a disgrace for a restaurant which should know better than to plate this up. I promised to be nice to the waiting staff who were great and did nothing wrong. The pheasant main course was knocked off the bill but it spoiled the evening and we will not be going back. Unpleasant pheasant which was not a present.

The food was absolutely delicious. Beautifully presented and all lovingly freshly prepared. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Excellent value for money considering the quality of the dishes. Restaurant was a little quiet but we were quite late to dine and out of season. I can imagine there is a real buzz in there when it is busier. Tastefully decorated in simple stylish rustic Yorkshire style. Highly recommend. We may go and stay next time were in the area too.

Stunning meal and right from the beginning we got welcoming vibes. I rang on Friday afternoon on the off chance and were made to feel so welcome by the lady I assume is the owner. During our meal she was so attentive and genuinely caring. The food was absolutely sublime we had the Lamb and Beef cheek. It was so tender and delicious. We would certainly return if lucky to be in the area again… Sticky toffee pudding alone deserves some sort of prize. Thank you

Had a fantastic meal out here for a birthday! The staff were super knowledgeable about the menu and the seasonality of the food, and everything was so fresh. I had an oriental duck salad, which really was divine - lots of interesting and delicious flavours. Highly recommended!

We got there too early and they happily opened up for us and we got drinks straight away. The dining room is lovely and the staff were great, giving enough attention and a friendly atmosphere. It was a family meal and we all really enjoyed it. We all had starters and mains of different meals, which were all faultless
