| Well, where does one start? We go in every two years for an anniversary meal and I have to say that we all felt it was the worst evening we'd had in years. The bar staff looked like they'd just got out of bed, scruffy and unkempt. Not that you could see them that well because it was so dark in the little bar! Not rude staff, but far from polite. Drinks are overpirced (Especially for the area. You don't mind paying extra for quality but they were just serving your usual, bog-standard products) and they were often short-measured. Our food was edible, but just uninspiring and clichéd. Nothing blew me away. The young girl who delivered the food was very polite and chirpy and was the only positive thing the five of us found in the whole experience (even if she did put her fingers inside my unfinished pint glass to move it!) We shan't be going back, sadly it's not the same pub it was ten years ago. It has clearly declined with each new takeover. jethro432 - 23 Feb 2012 14:28 |
| Visited the pub many times and over the last six months the atmosphere of the place has lifted with the pets corner and the play ground and wide variety of menu its got a bit for everyone they have two really cute piglets and about fifteen baby rabbits it is an amazing place for families to just sit back and just relax with an in closed back garden and with the food of very high standards I will be returning.

| All I can say is that I couldn't have been there the same Sunday as ANNIE12! We went with visiting friends to the Sandford for a carvery. The roast was 'just like mum makes!' The pub was very busy, yet the standard was good, not an easy thing for any chef to guage! And good value - especially comparing it to other pubs offering the same type of meal. We will visit again.I believe that the pub has had a change over of chefs recently, perhaps the last one was cooking when Annie visited? stevie1000 - 11 Dec 2010 16:24 |
| I've lived in Wareham for 25 years and have never been to the Sandford Hotel before last night. What have I been missing. A lovely friendly pub, nothing is too much for the staff. A well balance menu with additional 'specials' board and an entensive wine list at reasonable prices. We had a lovely meal with friends, everything freshly cooked by a chef who was happy to please my difficult husband who requested 'blue' steak with the edging fat well done! And even after the kitchen had closed for the evening, and my husband decided that he really couldn't go without the homemade crumble and custard, the chef was happy to cook him one. The waiting staff were attentive but not in your face. Good value for money. Will definately be going back soon. peterpuppy - 10 Dec 2010 09:18 |
| We had a very nice evening last night. The food was excellent the staff friendly. The chef kept popping out to see us we could not fault any of the meals we had and we were a table of 6, There was a quiz going on in another room so clearly the pub is doing well. We were very happy with everything thank you all coldcot - 10 Dec 2010 08:23 |
