Rick Stein, Sandbanks Restaurant and Bar Poole Reviews
A great celebration night.
A tantalising menu from which we all chose something different. The fresh food was expertly prepared and presented. The staff were excellent - helpful, knowledgeable, engaging, interested in us, efficient and professional. We enjoyed it so much we w
GREAT GARNACHA !
This is really an update from my review posted on Sunday relating to our very good family Sunday lunch celebrating my 71st birthday. I was pleasantly surprised to see that between Rick and his son Charlie had included a Garnacha red wine from Campo
Overpriced and Underwhelming
Oh dear. I had such high hopes. I was on my own so decided to eat in the bar but off the restaurant menu. I had come here from spending 4 weeks in the south of France so my expectations were high. But it’s Rick Stein so it should be good ….. Star
Lovely restaurant and location but food was underwhelming and over priced.
We were looking forward to coming to Rick's restaurant but left feeling disappointed at the quality, quantity and cost of the food. For starters, I had the deep fried prawns and although tasty, there was only 5 and the 'dip' was ok bu
Always a real treat
A wonderful dinner. It’s our fourth visit and never disappointed. We had a table by the window with view of the sunset. Fabulous food and impeccable friendly welcoming service.
Poor lobster, should be able to produce better!
Slow service, and abrupt. Scallops good to start. My wife's Lobster thermidor, was good, my grilled lobsters was poor, overcooked, lake of taste and not enjoyable.
Fabulous
A fabulous evening. The staff were tremendous, the views excellent and the food……perfect. Fresh fish and lobster perfectly prepared. I just loved it.
I'm sorry, we didn't enjoy this
We kind of felt left out, sorry. There was no lobster and our kid's meal which should have been the easiest was always at least x10mins behind ours. It was slow service and some of it frosty, especially at reception. We were given a partial refu

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Rick Stein, Sandbanks Restaurant and Bar Poole at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Rick Stein, Sandbanks Restaurant and Bar Poole page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Rick Stein, Sandbanks Restaurant and Bar Poole to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Rick Stein, Sandbanks Restaurant and Bar Poole!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
