The Restaurant & Lounge

Sam’s of Cornwall established in 1988, one of the county’s well loved restaurant brands

A proud ambassador of local produce, working closely with cornish suppliers.

A family operated business ran by husband and wife team Sam and Emma who have a real flair for combining the true spirit of Cornwall with a focus on providing a fun filled and entertaining experience for their customers.

Sam’s has firmly established itself at the forefront of Cornwall’s trend setting eateries, with restaurants across the county in Fowey, Polkerris on the beach, The Roseland (Sam’s pop up alfresco dining) Sam’s Diner in Par and in the City here in Truro.

A busy downstairs dining space with a calm, sophisticated upstairs cocktail lounge contribute to a unique dining experience in the City.

A mixed menu depending on location of Fresh Fish landed direct to the kitchen door in Polkerris, local Shellfish from the bay to local quality meats and small batch beverages.
There really is something for everyone.

About In The City

Sam’s Champagne Bar/Lounge

Sam’s know what it takes to make a great recipe. A recipe that lasts the test of time and keeps you coming back for more. A recipe so simple it even makes us blush when we tell people…

Begin with a healthy measure of fabulously Funkadelic vintage chic.

A twist of retro cool.

A cheeky splash of moody lighting.

A hint of bartender charm.

A dash boozy behavior.

A teaspoon of the tantalizing and exotic.

An ounce of blissed out beats.

A delicate sprinkling of bubbly giggles.

Shake it all together and present it in a swanky upstairs city champagne bar.

Finished lovingly with the sublime and ubiquitous Samstyle…

 

Sometimes, just sometimes – it’s fun to wait!

James Strawbridge wrote an article on Sam’s for Cornwall Life magazine:

Burgers and chips or pizza used to conjure up images of poor quality junk food and greasy-spoons, but over the years there has been a growing scene for fast-food lovers with a conscience. I count myself as a major fan of the genre – local produce and seasonal ingredients served up with style, fries and no frills – indulgent comfort food with a strong American influence. This is why I admire Mr Sam Sixton – for giving me cheeseburgers to die for, pizza that leaves you guilt-free and now pop-up menus with a host of great food to enjoy on the beach – all with a killer soundtrack…
