About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Sammy’s at The Yellow House in south London’s Surrey Quays, Canada Water area is a big, warm hug of a local bar and restaurant. Chefs Samuel and Jaime, who worked together here for many years as The yellow house restaurant, have taken over as “Sammy’s” preparing fresh ingredients for the bistro menu and the pizza & pasta menu.
Regulars appreciate the relaxed ambience, warm welcome, friendly service and passion about the food on the plate. Locals love this place. Sammy's European cuisine offers dependable classics like grilled steak & fries, wood-fired pizzas, hand-made pastas and a weekly changing selection of starters, fish and meat dishes such as roast English lamb with gratin dauphinois & rosemary jus . There’s a log-burning stove in the bar for wintry days, a terrace overlooking Southwark Park for summery evenings, and a great selection of cocktails, wines and draught premium lagers.

    Always great food at Sammy's , wether you have a homemade pizza , handmade pasta, posh burger, classic French options or a British Sunday roast and don't forget the made on the premises cakes, puddings and bread. It is also open for just drinks, and has a small terrace overlooking Southwark Park. Samuel, James, Robert and Jamie are friendly hosts. This place has a loyal local following, give it a try.
