Food & Festivities at Sands Hotel
‘Tis the season for wrapping up warm, enjoying wholesome food and
celebrating the year with friends, family and colleagues.
With the festivities soon to be
in full swing, there is
something very magical about
spending a little time on the
picturesque coast during
winter. The boutique Sands
Hotel offers an elegant yet
modern retreat over the
Christmas holidays. Whether
you are looking for the perfect
venue to host your work’s
Christmas celebrations or
somewhere to unwind and
enjoy Christmas day, Sands
has different packages to suit
the occasion.
For those organising a
get together, the two or threecourse festive menu can be
enjoyed in the Bay Restaurant
whilst overlooking the
stunning shoreline. This
seasonal menu is available at both lunch and dinner, and offers traditional
Christmas dishes with a creative flair including chicken parfait with a
roasted fig chutney and Venetian bread and butter pudding with marmalade
ice cream.

For main course, the succulent
roast turkey is served with a
cranberry compote and all the
much-loved trimmings of a
Christmas meal. Complementing
the hotel’s coastal position, locally
caught pan fried hake with a cockle
and smoked bacon cream offers
something a little different for diners.
If you’re looking for a grander
celebration, the complete festive
party package hosted in the hotel’s
private function space, with fully
stocked bar, could be just the thing.
Arrival fizz and canapés, a threecourse Christmas meal and evening
DJ help create the perfect party
atmosphere. To complete the
package, you can opt for either a
solo pianist or jazz band to
accompany the meal.
Why not take the stress away
from Christmas Day and opt to
