100% fully Vegan and full of all the American style junk food we all crave. There are many items here which we all would have only tasted before turning vegan and the taste is so good. Reading the menu we have to double-check the menu was vegan with so many ‘meat’ options we haven’t had in such a long time. Samphire is a fantastic place to get your junk-food fix. They also serve a wide range of vegan cakes and desserts. You will be spoilt for choice here with so many sweet and savoury options. This restaurant is the best vegan restaurant in Devon and is worth a trip, or two?
