A Senior Reviewer on Trip Advisor commented on last year’s Christmas Day lunch as follows:

“We had Christmas Dinner at the Sandgate Hotel, what made us book here was the staff. We had Sunday Lunch there in October and the staff was the best we have come across in the UK. Today was great the food was good and again the staff was again on top form. We are looking at going back nex Christmas and even going to the New Years Eve party and staying the night to late this year as all the rooms booked”.

Discover the Original Pilsner from Pilsen at 18:42!

Discover the Original Pilsner from Pilsen at 18:42! Ambassadors will be on hand to share our rich heritage and offer out complimentary half pints allowing you to savour the taste of the world’s first golden beer. And why will they be there at 18:42? Because that’s the year Pilsner Urquell was first produced.

In 1842, Josef Groll brewed the  world’s first golden beer and revolutionized an entire industry. Pilsner  Urquell, translated as “original source,” remains a revered beer, both  for its importance in beer history, as well as its intricate brewing  process, including the use of soft water, Saaz hops, pale malts, and triple  decoction.

“All brewers are passionate  about their beer, but Pilsner Urquell takes it one step further” – Charlie Boorman, The Times

Sample a free half pint of the original Pilsner at The Sandgate Hotel @ 1842 on 29 August 2012

Folk, Irish, blues music at The Sandgate Hotel with Phil Trainor

Phil Trainor, originally from Belfast, is a relative newcomer to the music scene. In 2004 after playing guitar and singing in several bands as a hobby, he decided to make a living out of playing music and moved to Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca, Spain. A popular performer around the pub circuit, Phil is a multi instrumentalist and can turn his hand to most types of music from popular to his own material. Folk music however is Phil’s forte and Irish music in particular. He normally performs as a solo artist and delivers his material with a wicked sense of humour.

Folk music and Irish in particular remains Phil´s main influence although he does admit to being an audience driven entertainer.

His instruments include Guitar, Harmonica, Tin Whistle, Banjo Mandolin and Bodhran (Irish Drum).

Sample Phil playing below.
Talking Wild Rover Blues

Our regular menu is on offer this Sunday together with a Sunday roast menu. Sit on the terrace and enjoy the sea views, listen in the bar or dine and listen in the restaurant. You can reserve a table below.
