Beautiful food, super friendly staff. After a very poor dining experience elsewhere this was a breath of fresh air.
Quick service. Meals were more than we could eat & staff were
happy to provide take away containers for us.
Best family friendly prices we've come across so far with most value for money & an array of specials.
Will definately be back!

Terrible security. Went to the Sands on a Saturday night around 6:30, my 19 turning 20 year old friend got told he was "too young" upon handing the security with the tribal tattoos and man bun his PASSPORT. Since when is a 2001 baby too young? Me and my friend hadn't had any drinks prior to that happening so it's not like we were too drunk. After denying him for being too young he goes on to let in a group of 3 females.
To all the blokes that want a beer there, if there's too many guys and not enough girls inside be careful, no matter your age or sobrierty you wont get let in!
Abysmal

So disappointed with access for me on a mobility scooter. Only one door that I could find that was locked from the inside which i think would be illegal? Surely for a pub this size they could do better with handicap access. Once inside however the staff were friendly and the atmosphere watching State of Origin was very good except for the result. My one star rating is based purely on the access only.
