Inspired by his travels in Australia, Sam’s Kitchen, in the heart of Hammersmith, serves up a carefully curated selection of classic breakfast, brunch, and lunch dishes in a cosy, neighbourhood-style eatery. Designed as a quintessential local corner cafe, Sam’s Kitchen is a place of refuge from the hustle and bustle of London, and a casual space for friends and family to come together around good food and fun vibes.
Working with the head chef at Sam’s Riverside location to create a winning menu, Sam’s Kitchen uses the best of locally-sourced ingredients to offer iconic British and Australian dishes. Think indulgent full-English fry-ups, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on sourdough toast, and smashed avocado toast with a slice of grilled polenta and topped with fresh and zingy pico de gallo. Contemporary twists on the classics also abound, with the likes of maple-glazed banana bread pancakes with treacle-cured bacon and smoked cinnamon butter, a chestnut mushroom and gruyère omelette with mixed herbs and a chive emulsion, and the ever-popular, and decadent, kimchi grilled cheese toastie.
Along with fresh coffee and hand-squeezed juices and smoothies, Sam’s Kitchen also offers a selection of alcoholic drinks to complement the mains - perfect for a more boozy brunch. Old standards such as Aperol Spritzes or Strawberry Bellinis are available, along with more innovative drinks like Sam’s Bloody Maria, with quiquiriqui mezcal, fino sherry, Sam’s bloody Mary mix, and tomato juice, or the Japanese-inspired Ode to a Plum, consisting of akashi-tai umeshu (plum-infused sake) and sparkling wine.
Overall, this intimate space, which also boasts outside seating ideal for the warm summer weekends, is a great place to relax and celebrate, with the same hospitality and friendliness that Sam’s Riverside boasts, but with a more easy-going atmosphere. If you want high-quality, classic breakfast and brunch, then look no further than the welcoming Sam’s Kitchen.
