Had a delicious lunch today roast beef with a fine range of veg. Main event battered hake in thatchers cider batter. Absolutely amazing with beef dripping chips and crushed peas . I eat in dozens of hotels and restaurants in my job and this was way above anything I have had before. Tempura came to mind. But whatever a really good dish. Prices reasonable under the current financial crisis.cannot recommend this enough. Plainly and sensibly decorated. Menu is not pretentious just good solid cheffing . Well done all

It was a first time visit here since it has been renovated, and I must say, it looks very nice and up to date. The obvious nautical theme was nice and the reception area where we entered was full of lovely prints and ornaments. We didn't stay in the hotel thus time, but plan to as the did look nice from the photos we had seen. The restaurant and bar were set out with lots of space, great lighting and natural light. There were 3 separate seating areas, including an outside area. My only grumble here was you had to walk around the corner, on the road, to get to the bar entrance. Not an issue for me, but wheelchair users might. The bar and restaurant staff were amazing. Promptly assisted us and informed us of all we needed to know before ordering, including allergies. We were given a menu and made our way to our seats. When ordering food, our request to change the meal slightly was accommodated without fuss. A quick "let me just check with the chef, but I'm sure we can", was followed up with "No problem sir" Outstanding in my eyes. The wait for food was minimal considering how busy the place was. ( I did phone ahead to check availability and was told not to worry about booking ) Our meals were absolutely scrumptious. Cooked to a very high standard and the tastes just filled my pallet. Compliments to the Chef. If you eat here, I wouldn't worry about quality here as I can only imagine that all of the food cooked here would be of the same top class standard. Again, Outstanding.

We have just came home from 3 nights at the South sands hotel it was a wonderful experience the food was amazing in the restraunt, evening meals top quality and the room was perfect for our needs and spotless. I am gluten free most of the menu including delicious breakfast I could have. thank you to all hotel and restraunt staff kind friendly couldn't do enough and can't wait to visit again Megan Chesterfield.
