The Samphire Kitchen in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

This is the best restaurant in the area- by a lot. We ate here 3 nights running after high tailing it out off the Rose & Crown and finding the Old Bank closed for a private function. The menu was different each night with plentiful fish specials. Elevated cuisine beautifully presented, if somewhat small portions. We thought it reasonably priced. The cheese course is not to be missed! Great staff & pretty room only add to the experience. Lots of healthy options…yummy warm gluten free bread, even a delicious gluten free berry crumble for dessert with diary free coconut ice cream! We tried almost the entire menu & never had a bite we didn’t enjoy.

We ate here as part of a two night stay. The service was slick but friendly. Food was delivered in a timely manner and always with a smile. The menu was not too long and the standard of cooking was consistent. The restaurant was also a very acceptable temperature which currently is not always the case. Unfortunately I am not as adept at navigating an electronic wine list as I am with a paper list, but practice will no doubt remedy this!

First night food couldn't be faulted but tonight everything awful, starters just plonked on plate ,half the ingredients missing then main ,uneddable , duck skin like rubber and duck ,potatoes with blacks bits in and some cooked and some hard ,carrots not washed or trimmed
