We had lunch at this place on a sunny weekend, and really enjoyed the experience. The menu has a strong fish bias with lots of daily specials. The portions sizes are not enormous, as this place is definately a quality over quantity establishment. My scallop/bacon starter was good, and a monkfish wrapped in parma ham with mash and clams was... More

visited on a Monday night and nice to find the place busy. Very popular restaurant in the village with fresh local food on the menu.

For those that know East Wittering there is little to recommend it, beach apart. Now that has changed. Samphire is small, not elegant but the food...a different matter. Short but well-chosen menu, with daily specials which change frequently; very fresh and well-cooked fish and shellfish. The chef has a range of the best local suppliers and knows what he is... More

This was so unexpected to find this fabulous restaurant. I went with a friend I was visiting who lives in the area for Saturday lunch. Very good value, 13 pounds for two courses, and the food was delicious! Service was very good, and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend you visit if you are in the area. We will... More

We went as a birthday party of 18, and the staff were completely unflustered with such a big group, they got all the meals correct, and hot. Service was excellent, especially during the frequent request for more vino ! I had terrine, followed by beef Wellington which was pick and delicious, and chocolate fondant. Overall good value, very tasty, but... More

This village, popular with summer visitors, has many excellent qualities but you wouldn't really associate it with innovative cooking. So Samphire comes as a welcome surprise. It's a simple place, fairly small, with a variety of wooden furniture and a welcoming ambience. The staff are first-class and the food is top quality. Local products are used, with an emphasis on...

Ate here last night and I can only say it ticked all the boxes. Fantastic, fresh food and impeccable service. I would thoroughly recommend it! I loved the cosy, quirky atmosphere and would definitely eat here again.

Quite simply excellent: service, food, thoughtful, accommodating, and friendly. If you’re fed up of average-poor food served in an ambience designed to con you into thinking you’re about to eat good food and enjoy attentive service, then this is the place for you. The team at Samphire are good enough to make me question why are they there (in East... More
