Lovely nooks and crannies with couches and more, and a nice patio for warmer weather. If you're looking for a traditional British pub, you've come to the right place. Reasonable prices too. There's a lovely bar with enough beers on tap to suit all palates and more in the fridge. As for the food, they have most of the pub favourites along with steaks and salads as well as some vegetarian options. The set menu is on from Mon-Thurs and is great value at £11.99 for two courses + £2 for three or for a steak meal. I couldn't fit it in, but dessert was full sized and delicious too. Some had a berry crumble or a melba panacotta. If you're in the area, this place is well worth a visit, it won't disappoint!

Monday-Saturday you can get the following for a fiver if you dine with another (two-fer-a-tenner deal). Outstanding gammon dinner with two eggs, chips and peas. It's a good-sized hunk o' ham; grilled to perfection with near-crackling-quality edges, plenty of chips; fresh-tasting peas (mushy optional). And did I mention the two eggs on top? For the other half of the deal the wife likes the scampi or the chicken: and it's half a chicken, rotisserie style, juicy and gorgeous with no gastro-nonsense pretence. On a Sunday the roasts are outstanding: deliciously cooked meat on plentifully apportioned plates loaded with veg for under six quid (Dec 2010). The Sandpiper is best deal I know for Sunday roast on the Solent.

Suffice to say, we weren't dissapointed - really good hearty country grub, so rich and tender, cooked with love. It's a bit more expensive than other gastropubs or restaurants, but so worth it! We went on a Wednesday and it was pretty quiet. If they could improve one thing it would be to add a little more atmosphere - there wasn't any music when we went, and this made people a bit self conscious I think. But the service, for a restaurant of this quality, was refreshingly unpompous! Worth the trip.

They have an air conditioned dining room serving excellent food served by attentive staff. It is suitable for disabled people as there is a wheelchair ramp. The menus are changed regularly and they source local produce. Portions of food do tend to be on the small side, so it is perhaps more suitable for the older traveller, and people who want to watch their weight. The proprietor has received many awards in the hospitality industry and has a great eye for detail. I haven't stayed there but have been told that the rooms are of a high standard.

But that's where the similarity ends compared to most UK pub 'n grubs. I found the atmosphere very relaxed and casual yet kind of chic without being snooty. The bartender and servers were all very polite and welcoming. The food was fantastic; I had the falafel burger (delicious) and lamb skewer tapas (even more delicious). Total with two glasses of wine was less than £20. Will definitely dine there again and probably have the 3 tapas special (£9.95 if I remember correctly).
