I just wanted to say how much we had enjoyed our Valentine's Dinner at Blackpool Sands last night. It was really enjoyable, the room looked lovely, the food was excellent and the service by staff was very attentive.

Very few places could satisfy our dietary needs quite so well: fussy kids and a carb/ gluten free diet, and with such wholesome yummy food. Love your philosophy, love the food, love the prices, the location...oh and very friendly, funny, jolly staff.
