We were seated inside which was OK, but also inside was a table of 12 people who were very noisy to the stage of shouting and carrying on with no regard for other customers which made the whole evening not enjoyable. The staff did nothing to get them to control the noise.

Thank you for taking the time to write this response, we apologise you didn't enjoy your time at sandpipers, two different staff did ask the group twice to be aware of other customers but they choose not to comply and didn't quieten down. There was only so much we could do. Please do come back again as we are sure you will enjoy our food and service.
