Sam's is consistently excellent. The peak time queues are only an indication to the quality and freshness of the food served. The music is loud enough to create a buzz but generic enough to appeal to all ages. I have been going here annually for many years and other than the staff getting older, the place remains one of my Cornish (in fact UK) favourites
