Tier Achieved:
The ultimate Russian roulette. Culinary daredevils only.
The Devil's feeding trough. Food so good people risk it all. The kitchen is a horror show but the reviews are immaculate. Strongest stomachs only. You've been warned.
Welcome to Sandbanks Cafe, where the food might be glorious, but I wouldn’t recommend inspecting the kitchen. With a hygiene score of 1, it’s like playing culinary Russian roulette. The avocado and poached egg on gluten-free toast is apparently a brunch dream, but you might want to keep your eyes peeled for the odd stray hair. Staff like Lisa and Paul are all about the friendly vibes, and your dogs might score some treats (good luck if you're allergic). So, feast away, but maybe don't think too hard about what's lurking behind the scenes.
Still, folks seem to love the food. A bacon, brie, and cranberry panini gets rave reviews, and you can even take home a gluten and dairy-free gazillionaires slice. Just remember, taste is nothing if you're worrying about what might be hiding in the back of the fridge. All in all, you might leave with a smile, but I wouldn’t bet my life on it. 😈
