Lovely resturant but Menu was poor of choices as three lunches were sold out.My order was lost in the process after waiting forty minutes had to change my choice but was OK after that.This puts you off and I ate out at other dining places after

Excellent service, had fish and chips, fish was incredible. All accompanied by Halloween decorations and a scary coffin. Well done team sandpiper.

Unfortunately there's an i in team. The young chap on the bar was doing a superb job .taking orders. Clearing tables.serving customers at the bar. And serving meals. While some staff sat at a table some sort of meeting. The chef rang the bell twice and then had the cheek to pop his head out of the kitchen door to see what the young chap was doing seeing he was busy. Just went back but did not join the team and bring our meals out ..and to rub salt in once our meals had been brought out he then went and sat in the reception.. obviously a busy man..!! Other than that the food was OK the service was very good the young chap doing everything deserves a rise.

Restaurant/bar area was beautiful, warm and relaxing. Food was always very tasty. The staff were amazingly chilled and great at their jobs (special mention to Cameron and Josh). Nothing was too much trouble. Only criticisms are that the restaurant menu is quite restricted and not all the options were on the clipboards (had to look for the kids ones a few times). Inconsistent too - one night the (£7.50) starter of chicken gougons was 3 small pieces with a small salad, the next night it was 2. On ordering from a special 'birthday' menu which started that day, one starter and one main option were unavailable straightaway which was quite strange. Nevertheless, we will certainly be back to Queensberry Bay and the Sandpiper

Lovely welcome from all staff. Great views across the Solway and tasty latte to enjoy as we sat on the veranda. Lots of space indoors too should the weather not allow sitting outside. We hope to visit again very soon.Parking: Parking for several cars beside the Reception.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible for wheelchairs and walking aids.

All fine except some items on menu unavailable. Fine views over Solway Firth. Blah blah and more blah to fill up review.

Went with sister today as she hadn't been before ,the views are amazing plenty of places to sit ,but the food and coffees a different story ,they really need to learn how to make lattes ,my sister likes lattes this just looked like hot milk with froth on top ,I had a mocha which was basically a hot choc ,mocha has coffee in in ,the best mochas are made by at Costa at Gretna gateway ,so now on to the food my sister had a oanni which was ham cheese and onion , it just looked liked a sandwich cheese wasn't melted properly the salad veg was crudely cut up ,I had a baked pot ,which was meant to be large was looking forward to it ,huh ,It wasn't large it wasn't even a baking pot , aging the cucumber and salad was crudely cut up ,We won't be back there

Beautiful and stunning views. The lad on the bar taking orders and serving drinks was a bit inept. Lady in the back cooking seemed to be only one keeping it together and working the hardest. No cutlery on table. Food arrived and no cutlery. Asked. He then went for a chat and serve other people. Shame , as a stunning place to have a meal.

First visit to the Sandpiper on Saturday afternoon. We just had a drink and because of the view and nice weather decided to go back with family the following day to celebrate my birthday. I really wished we hadn't. The staff were nice and it's a beautiful location but the food was shocking. I chose the vegetable massala and when it arrived it looked like a school dinner. An orange coloured mush with absolutely no identifiable vegetables in it. I genuinely think it was left over veg that had been blitzed with some curry powder thrown in. I just could not eat it. My son in law ate his but he said he will eat anything. My daughter and husband ate their meals but said they wouldn't want to eat there again. My daughter did complain about my meal and the staff were apologetic and polite but it's just wrong to be charging nearly £15 for meals this poor. I would go again for a drink but wouldn't eat there again.

Not a huge menu to choose from but well cooked and presented. More than adequate for what I wanted - good wholesome food while I read my book.

Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised at the wonderful setting with the glass frontage and wonderful patio. Sadly it went down from here. When ordering the food at the bar (no table service) the waiter didn't told us they were out of the chicken only to tell us they had got a delivery that morning after checking so it was back on but he couldn't figure out how to put it through the till for some reason. Anyway we paid for our drinks and he said he would get the boss to sort it. About 25 mins had passed and he'd walked past us a number of times (it wasn't at all busy) we asked how long our food would be to which he said very blase "I forgot to tell you we don't have the chicken"???? Hardly an apology or have a drink on us. In the end I ended up with a baked potatoes due to 40% of the menu being unavailable. A real shame. We mentioned it to the waitress and reception but again they too were so blasé. One other thing, my wife had a gin and tonic, no ice, no garnish, no fruit which in this day and age is not what you would expect. Also only one sugar free drink available (Sprite) no coke zero diet coke or anything like that. Such a shame. We will go in again if we are passing but only because of the view

We saw the chef going in and out of kitchen and helping out the bar area, instead of staying in kitchen making sure the food is cooked properly.The batter on the fish over cooked andbecome rock solid because of this.We saw the manager just go inside the café and left the area five minutes later, five minutes is not enough time for quality control.Only good thing about this café is got a nice view of beach.
