Sand Bay Tea Rooms — Restaurant in England

We visited Sand Bay as we have 2 dogs and the beach allows them all year round. Read all about the Sand Bay Tea rooms as they were dog friendly too and was really looking forward to having some food and getting the dogs “the doggie cream tea”. I have a lactose intolerance so cannot have any dairy products and as they have a sign on the wall that says please let’s us know when ordering food If you have any allergies, my wife asked what was available, the young lad who was serving said all their sauces and gravy had milk products so they were no good, he then turned around and asked the gentleman in the kitchen ( who she took to be the owner) what was milk free only to get the reply “ a tomato”. My wife didn’t think this was in any way helpful and actually felt like he was taking the Micky!! We left without ordering any food! Nearly all the food places we visit are extremely helpful but it was like this place didn’t care or want to know. So if you have any allergies or intolerances don’t visit...

Could be so much better in other hands such as Costa or something. Food ok but nothing spectacular. In this day and with strong competition you need to be on the ball. I say strong competition, as the owner admits in the reply, there is none. There lies the problem! Also the owner states we posted at Midnight! I fail to see the relevance there, as some of us do work past 530 pm and do not flounce around in a tea room...

This tea room has been our go to for years now. Lovely setting for walkers of all kinds. The special blend coffee is to die for. Seating inside and out, with disabled access. The menu is varied but be aware it's not a greasy spoon type of place so no fried food. We always enjoy taking our pooch for a walk along the beach over the road and coming in for lunch, usually soup, toastie or scrambled eggs. Disabled parking outside or in car park just down the road. Unfortunately dogs not allowed inside now due to people not being respectful and coming in with very muddy dogs. A really friendly...
