Guests taking time out to dine at the Samphire Restaurant at the Blazing Donkey Country Hotel in Ham can look forward to being served modern British and European food created with locally sourced ingredients. Visitors can expect to sit back and relax in luxurious leather seating enjoying crackling log fires in winter and alfresco dining on the terrace in summer. 

Samphire takes its inspiration from the abundant high quality local produce including game, reared meats and fish. The menu could include starters of pan fried chorizo sausage with vine tomato on lamb's leaf, ham hock terrine with flageolet beans and whisky cured wild salmon with pickled quail's eggs. Now that the taste buds have been introduced to the fine fare on offer, proceed with abandon on belly of pork marinated in honey and loveage, calf's liver and streaky bacon with creamed potato, rump of Romney Marsh lamb with saffron risotto and yellow tail catfish, Nile perch and sea bass fried in fennel seed batter with chunky chips. Don?t miss taking a look at chef's daily blackboard specials. The extensive wine list admirably complements the menu.
