The Sands Cafe Carbis Bay in Cornwall

Great atmosphere with plenty of space between tables for our 2 big dogs. Excellent food and service. Fantastic view of Carbis Bay too as right on the beach.

The views and space were amazing, the food and service were a little disappointing. We had chosen to go here to celebrate a birthday, but a sit down lunch at 1.30pm, didnt get starters served till nearly 2.30pm. It was a shame, staff were nice.

Great views and friendly staff. But that's where the positives ends. Service was appalling, extremely slow (one hour before the wait staff came to take orders), clearly not enough service staff for the number of tables. Food was mediocre. Disappointing experience overall.

Fantastic food, attentive friendly team. A very nice dining experience indeed, laid back but far better than pub grub. View is breathtaking.

Well as for the hotel room and the spa, it was fabulous. Very friendly staff, with a great service. Breakfast was also very nice, came quickly and hot.

We visited carbis bay cocktail bar today, followed our amazing waiter Frankie from our holiday in May, made a special visit to see him today in Carbis Bay. As always, the cocktails were amazing, and Frankie is so friendly, we love visiting him! Thanks Frankie for yet another amazing experience. Summer or winter, everyone should pay them a visit! He is the best!

We booked in for a late lunch (2pm) 24/09/21 after a lovely day in the bay. The food was pricey but expected for the location but unfortunately the quality was very poor along with the service. We ordered 2 x burgers and pizza for my daughter. The burgers where tasteless and on cheap rolls, they came with chips but not sauces were offered and at £21 per burger you expect effort to be made on the quality…it’s really not that hard . The pizza was again tasteless and one slice eaten before rejected. At no point where we asked if the meal was ok, even when we paid. £71.95 in total for poor service and food.

The best part of this complex is The Ugly Butterfly, fabulous food, amazing staff and a great ethos. Spoil yourself

Don’t go for the food! Great for a drink though with nice atmosphere and a view. We had a very nice and fresh Muscadet (white wine). It was a mistake to order the prawn/crayfish linguine, an overcooked and microwave-hot pasta with a random slice of bacon (no warning! probably they don’t expect people who might not desire to eat pork).

Disappointed with the service and quality of food for the money. Just spent £5.00 on cheesy chips. Family set of 4 with 4 soft can drinks £32.00. Disgraceful, no fork even to eat them with. Staff were abrupt an acted like the fun police when moving customers.
