    The Sunday Roast was so much better than i was expecting. Having never really had any decent food at Blackpool sands this was a pleasant surprise. The beef was meltingly tender, all the veggies were also nicely cooked and the overall portion was good. The only downside is having to pay £4:50 extra for Cauli cheese

    Absolutely delicious food, great service and lovely drinks. What an amazing view and beautiful interior. Plus free parking with their voucher. Slightly pricey but you do get a wonderful view and very fresh, tasty food. Sunday lunch at its best. Thank you!

    We love Blackpool Sands one of our favourite, treated ourselves to Roast dinner its a treat as it is expensive but service food environment is always amazing... Vegetarian option Wellington was very disappointing tastless sadly and cauliflower cheese a paid extra black and cooked to death. We will stick to our lovely breakfast and tasty small bites great coffee and brilliant service.

    I booked a table for my wife’s 70th birthday at lunchtime of the 2nd January. 4 Adults and 3 children 10, 7 & 2. We had 2 starters, 2 kids meals and 5 adult meals. Drinks 2 cocktails £12:50 each; bottle of Red wine choice of 4 we had a Merlot £29 and soft drinks. Cost £170+. Wife had fish and chips no peas and the batter was over-cooked. I had 2 fish tacos 1 goujon in each with chips. 3 fish burgers and 2 kids meals. So basic fayre at exorbitant prices. The wine was really poor I am no connoisseur but no a good wine from cheap plonk. Definitely paying a massive premium for the location and sadly we won’t return for food. Maybe a cake and coffee. However the staff and service was exceptional.

    Our family of six ranging in ages from 9 to 69 came for the Christmas Party menu Saturday lunch time. The service was warm and welcoming. The food a delight especially the beetroot cured salmon starter and parsnip valoute. Followed by delicious Turkey with all the trimmings and a vegetarian Wellington. The children had tasty burgers and chips. The chocolate tart was tasty. There were plenty of staff to serve us and it was nice to have crackers. The cafe is beautifully decorated for Christmas. All in all a lovely experience. Thank you.
