I ate at Samphire with friends on a busy Saturday night. I have to admit from the website and menu, I wasn't particularly sold on the place. How wrong I was! The restaurant is simple and quite compact but tastefully done. The service was excellent; prompt, friendly and efficient. The food was without exception sensational! Top quality ingredients, simply done and bursting with flavour. Every dish we tried (3 courses each and 3 of us dining) was utterly moorish! The kitchen team are utter trojans. No idea how they manage to turn out such high end cuisine in such a small space, with only one cooking. Top notch place, which I'd recommend and return to without hesitation. A brilliant find!
A birthday meal on a busy Saturday night that could have been a disaster when it appeared I’d booked the wrong date. I was rescued by genial and welcoming host Dee, who went out of her way to make the evening great.
Lovely meal; gnocchi with beetroot, and salmon with smoked leeks were super starters. Beautifully moist and tender cod fillets, rainbow chard, smoked cashews and preserved blood orange was an amazing main course. Good selection of cheese followed by a shared slice of cheesecake with the simply sublime fromage blanc sorbet which was outstanding.
I would drive the 100miles from my house to Samphire just to eat that sorbet again.
Highly recommended.
Been a few times now. The staff are so tentative can’t do enough for you. The food is amazing freshly cooked and local produce. Highly recommend this place.
