dinner)
Here's a novel concept - a restaurant run by a head chef and 25 volunteers who
work a shift a week just for 'the love of creating a beautiful restaurant' (plus a share of the
profits). And a very good job they're making of it, with a menu of classic British cuisine -
from broccoli and stilton soup to lemon posset via Scottish sirloin - and a growing fan
club of satisfied customers.

The stylish decor in Sam's is a cut above your av-
erage curry shop, and so is the food - lots of fresh and flavoursome spices and herbs make
dishes such as
jeera
chicken (cooked with cumin seed) really zing. Wash it down with In-
dian Cobra beer.
