Sands - Table reservation

We had an evening meal at Sands. The restaurant was cold, with only 3 other tables occupied on a Saturday evening. We ordered the ‘special’ King prawns with chorizo, garlic butter and crusty bread. The prawns were not fresh prawns, they were the mass frozen prawns you can buy from cash and carries from Thailand. They had no flavour. The chorizo was the tiny diced chorizo that you can often get from supermarkets, again not very good quality. The bread was packet bread, not even fresh bread from a bakers. The portion was very small, for £8.50 I’d expect good quality food or a decent portion, this was neither. The waiter did not deal with the complaint very well, telling us that no one had ever complained about the dish before he obviously hasn’t looked on here before! We ordered various mains, all were ok. The wine menu was very poor, only about 6 7 choices of red wine, when we ordered a bottle we were told it was not available. Overall we the restaurant lacked atmosphere, the food was below average and the service was not very good. We have visited several pubs in Wells that all served much better quality food, with far better atmosphere and service.

Food is very good and quiet peaceful spot upstairs from Plattens. Service is polite but as only one waiter for the whole restaurant you need to be patient we did quite well but other tables we could see were irritated with the delay. We did give up on desserts as the dessert menu never came even though we were asked but have to say the main courses were very good seafood platter and mussels are good and fresh. Don't recommend the local cider though! We would return I am sure its a lovely place too to eat lunch at with a daytime window view.
