In summary the location, decor and beer may be traditional, but the service and food are at a much higher level than ever expected.

Monday-Saturday you can get the following for a fiver if you dine with another (two-fer-a-tenner deal). Outstanding gammon dinner with two eggs, chips and peas. It's a good-sized hunk o' ham; grilled to perfection with near-crackling-quality edges, plenty of chips; fresh-tasting peas (mushy optional). And did I mention the two eggs on top? For the other half of the deal the wife likes the scampi or the chicken: and it's half a chicken, rotisserie style, juicy and gorgeous with no gastro-nonsense pretence. On a Sunday the roasts are outstanding: deliciously cooked meat on plentifully apportioned plates loaded with veg for under six quid (Dec 2010). The Sandpiper is best deal I know for Sunday roast on the Solent.

We visited this pub/restaurant during a recent stay in Milford on sea…read more Parking is on the roadside outside the pub or car park to the right. This is a really cosy pub. There is a coat rack as you go in so that you don't have to have your coat dragging on the floor or scrunched up behind you. It has a real fire which really helps the cosy atmosphere. There are seating booths which are made to look like old stable fronts with iron bars (sound hideous but they weren't). It was October when we visited and these booths were covered with lovely fairy lights. I presume these are here all year round but maybe they couldn't wait to get the deco's up. We ordered the veggie quiche, chips, onion rings, mushrooms and garlic bread. The Quiche was homemade and really delicious. The portions were huge and we struggled to finish our food and had to admit defeat. They sold a large selection of real ales of which my partner had to test of course. I visited the ladies which were clean, and no nasty pongs (worst thing ever!). All in all a really pleasant evening.

Food portions are very small. That does annoy me why they have to weigh everything. Had a Bacon sandwich for example. It was obvious they half cook the stringy Bacon earlier and then put it in the microwave. Who likes half cooked fatty Bacon? No care taken by the 16 year old school leaver in the kitchen.

The latest reincarnation of this place is under the Table Table brand, but the selection of British and global cliche meals remains pretty much the same - a token curry, some chilli and rice you get the idea. Although the place looks much posher than it used to and the prices have gone up a bit, really it's exactly the same - not very exciting, rather bland, and utterly, utterly boring.
