The award winning Sand Dancer pub is located right on the beach at Sandhaven in South Shields. With stunning views from Tynemouth to Trow Rocks. We are dog friendly with great food and drinks and live music.
I have been going here for years and not sure if they have changed management or something but we asked politely if they could do scrambled egg for my niece as they have before! and they refused saying in the years we've been here we've never made scrambled egg for anyone rude. Hot chocolate just tasted like water but I guess the breakfast wrap tasted alright. I'll definitely not be going back in a hurry with that service
Would have been nice if they hadn't run out of Sunday roast by 3. But still very canny with excellent sea views
Food is absolutely great and the cheesecake is out of this world but really disappointed in the services though. Employees cleaning their menus while customers are eating which is highly inappropriate and should be done before they open or in the back and not around customers. I love the atmosphere though, it’s beautiful in there and the scenic seafront view Woow.
We visited for the first time and were pleased we did. The staff and atmosphere were really friendly and we had a table by the window overlooking the Seafront. The food was lovely, freshly prepared with vegetarian options available. Even had a cheeky cocktail whilst hubby enjoyed his desert. We will go again and can recommend to anyone thinking of visiting. This would have been 5***** instead of the 4 given as the toilets were awful. Don't know if it is a sewerage problem it certainly smelled that way. There was hardly no toilet roll in the ladies, no soap in the dispenser and no roll to dry your hands. The automatic dryer wasn't working. A little girl came in with her Mum and commented on how it stunk ! Hopefully next time this will have been sorted. Thank you. Carole & Phil Washington UK (June 2023)
Place was busy on a Sunday, but we got seated quickly. Food was ok, but relatively expensive. There seemed to be a lot of dogs in the place, some of who were taking a dislike to each of their but also were fresh off a run on the beach. Not sure that dog smell adds much to the dining experience. Perhaps dogs should have there own area?
Sorry, we don't have any current news or jobs for this pub.
