About
Rick Stein Sandbanks is a celebrated seafood restaurant perched on the edge of Poole Harbour, offering diners a glass‑walled dining room that frames the gentle ebb of the tide. The menu showcases the freshest local catches – from lobster grilled, thermidor and turbot hollandaise, to Dover sole à la meunière – all paired with carefully selected wines from Charlie Stein. Families are welcomed with a children’s menu, highchairs and a dog‑friendly bar, while couples can enjoy a romantic evening with uninterrupted sea views. The relaxed, beach‑side ambiance, combined with impeccable service, makes this spot a favourite for both casual lunches and elegant supper parties.
