We were booked to be seated at 8.30 on a Saturday night and as the bar area is small and busy we were glad we had had a drink somewhere else first as there would not have been enough seating for us - we visited as part of a large group. Even though there were so many of us the... More

You couldn't ask for better service than what is offered at the Sandpiper : all the bar & restaurant staff were excellent ( many a in-your-face, trendy London restaurant could learn a thing or 3 here).

Stayed over at the sandpiper for one night. It was so warm and welcoming and the staff were very friendly and efficient. The room above the restaurant was comfortable and cosy. The food was excellent for dinner and we had a very good breakfast with great sausages and the poached egg cooked to perfection!

Booked a table for four, on a Saturday evening. Pleasant telephone manner and easy booking. Food was excellent, this is my third visit in twelve months. Good menu choice and well presnted good food! The bar has a superb selection of malt whisky and local beers. This is not a drinking pub - it is definately a restaurant!

Went for birthday celebration. The staff were very friendly and well organised. Restaurant has a great ambience and is very welcoming with losts of candles.The food was very good and the service very prompt. The only criticism I have, is that I would of liked a bit more meat and vegetables on the plate. Cost for two of us three... More

First visit to this restaurant after moving into the area. Noted some of the negative comments on here but we had no complaints at all. Service at the bar and restaurant was cheerful and efficient, food was great, and prices OK by Yorkshire Dales standards. We had six drinks, four starters, four main courses and one dessert for £115 so... More

We decided to have sunday lunch at the Sandpiper recently to celebrate a special occasion. I should have known that standards had slipped when the barmaid proceeded to pour my drink order into a glass covered in lipstick! Anyway, one clean glass later, we were ushered into the restaurant only to be served with the worst roast beef dinner I've... More
