    We have visited before and were really pleased to be able to get a table again. One of our party was running late and so we scanned the menu in so he could choose as the kitchen was nearly closing! They were extremely helpful and accommodated our changes. A fantastic meal, excellent customer service and we thoroughly recommend a visit. Thank you

    Our favourite place to eat, with friendly staff. Menu changes often to supply the best tastes to all. Normally busy, book in advance, and be happy to squeeze up close! We love you Samphire.
