The Sandgate Hotel,

Aug82006

The Sandgate hotel has recently been re-opened under new management so previous reviews dont reflect the current standards.

Hi there

Well as you probably know the Sandgate Hotel closed down for a refit (coincidentally not long after the Ramsay Kitchen Nightmare programme). So was interested to go there when it reopened. It now looks much better inside - they've knocked through from bar to dining room and it feels more spacey. Downside in my view the food. When we went all the meal options were very dry and tasteless (very few options with sauces) and there was a bizarre pricing policy - a few dishes were at the £6-7 level and the others were £10-12. I was really hoping it would be a viable alternative to Bar Vasa (which yes we all love but it would be nice if there was at least one other place we could go on the seafront that is good value and has a view!). Oh they also didnt cook my friends meatballs properly - some of them were raw on the inside.

Still its a nice option in the summer if you can get to sit on the terrace .....

Getting a bizarrely high number of comments at the moment

If it wasn't for the fact they were a bit negative I'd suspect there was some sort of fix going on, all the staff posting or something. Is it all the ex staff who were sacked or what?

yah. I went there few weeks ago, had a burger. Was amazing! HIGHLY recommended. The staff were clueless. They were quite cute though...

Me again. I'll add to that. My girlf took her parents down there this weekend and the menu has changed - no lovely bugers anymore. It's all expensive stuff so they just had a coffee - one cup wasn't full, another was cold. And the staff were still clueless.
