The Sandford

Initially uncertain after another customer very loudly voiced their disappointment but our evening improved.

Starters were very nice and the staff were amongst the most friendly and welcoming we've experienced - they couldn't do enough for my wife, my son or myself.

The food was reasonable, not the best if I'm honest but the atmosphere (live music, my son's first experience) was good and the overall experience was very nice.

A personalised waffle for my son was a wonderful touch and very nice too (unfortunately he wasn't keen on the ice cream!) When we polished it off!

I would probably return, and just have something different from the menu, though the nacho starter was absolutely delicious!

We passed the pub and decided it looked good to find some food on our way home from a weekend in Dorset.
They had a special event on with live music in the garden and it was fairly busy. Lovely atmosphere and helpful staff who showed us somewhere to park when the car park was full. We had 4 adult meals and 4 kids meals and whilst not being the cheapest, it was a fair price for the good food the turned up.
We would happily return if we ventured down this road again and needed some lunch, lovely pub!

Me and my mates that met online rented a place near wareham and we wanted to grab some food and drink a few pints, we ended up staying there for a long time due to the immense hospitality that the owner provided for us, not to mention the entertainment. We got invited a couple of days later for a night at this same place with live music, amazing food, amazing staff, amazing and gorgeous building.
Thank you so much Jamie for the time.

Overall nice place...
Don't know what fake grass over pallets in garden area is about,,buts it's a H/S risk
Food was nice but portions was on small size...
Your onion rings are delightful would have loved a few more on plate.. or a extra option..

Lovely food. Pleasant staff. Food arrived in no time. Had giant steak and kidney pudding, very tasty. Nice and clean pub if a little sparce in decor. Would definitely recommend

Passed by from Wareham to Bournemouth / Poole, saw this lovely & crowded pub / restaurant, decided to pop-in and it was nice!
Good ambiance and freshly made food! Delicious~
Friendly staff & efficient service!

Stopped in The Sandford after a wintery walk in Wareham Forest.
One person on the bar and one person in the kitchen. The bartender was lovely, smiley, chatty and engaged with us. There was a large table of 8 in as well. We did not feel neglected and the service was excellent.
I had the sausages and made. My partner had the open pie. Both absolutely delicious.
Good value for good food and a relaxed atmosphere on a snowy day.
Recommended.

We stopped for lunch. The pub was beautiful. The food was excellent. A proper pub menu. We had the steak and ale pie. Absolutely lovely. A proper suet pie. Highly recommend this place. Xx
