The Sands Bar — Restaurant in Wales

I called by Sands during the afternoon and had a beer. Me, “Are you showing the match this evening?” Bar staff, “Yes, but make sure you get in early to secure.” Me, “Ok. Absolutely..”

I arrive at 18:55 for 19:30 kick off. Spoke with bar staff who confirms they’re showing the match I wished to watch. At ten minutes in during the second half, bar staff switch to a London Derby that has just kicked off. I then appeal that a number of patrons have already spent good money and been watching the ‘advertised’ match into the second half. This falls on deaf ears …

A number of alienated customers, including me, then left. Many of us had already spent a fair amount at that point on food and drink. I am unlikely to return now and I’d been a regular for some time. The family have had a plot on the adjacent caravan site for 40 years. The lad next to me, a regular too for many years said he was not returning; feeling very let down.

I appreciate that staff had difficult decisions to make but I’d made an effort in the afternoon to ensure the match was on and got in early that evening and arrived early as requested. We’d already watched 55 minutes of the match when it was turned over. Poor is an...

We chose this place to get the chippy tea of our holiday, and we ended up really disappointed. Service was fast and the staff are polite which is a positive, and prices aren’t too bad, but the food is meh. I ordered chips and curry, potato scallop, with mushy peas and a barm. The batter around the scallop was semi-soggy and tasteless, mushy peas watery and again tasteless, and your given a thimble of curry sauce which we didn’t realise until we got back. Not a good vibe when you have to pull out the mayo and bbq sauce for your chippy tea. Portion size for chips was good though and the barm was soft. My partner pivoted away from the fish when he saw how small the portion was for the price (his words - I’m not paying £8 for a goldfish), and got a pie and sausage instead. He said they were ok but nothing special. Unfortunately we can’t recommend this place and would drive into...

Went for a mate's birthday shindig. The 3 piece band called Session was really good, giving it loads of energy on the stage. The buffet was very impressive quality wise and lots of it. The service was great,friendly staff. Toilets clean and well maintained. Beer prices were not the usual 'lets rip off the tourists' rates found in many seaside pubs My only regrets are that 11 o clock arrived too soon,and that I forgot to ask for a doggy bag to take some of the food home. A really good night out. I would have no hesitation in recommending this venue to anyone planning...
