Simpsons in the Strand - (Near Westminster, london)

5 /5 MARK NIEMIERKO: A sensational return. Simpson’s is back and London is better for it. An unmistakable, yet understated energy fills the building. Fabulous food, proper atmosphere and a sense of occasion, naturally. What made the evening particularly wonderful was seeing so many familiar faces from the London hospitality world working the floor. It felt like a gathering of the industry’s greats coming home. Simpson’s is magnificent.

4 /5 Koke: Had a Christmas meal a la carte with my work colleagues and its the best Christmas dinner we have had in the 17+ years of Christmas dinners! Good service and very good food. For me only let down a little by dessert, but that was mainly down to my choice. Formal sophisticated dining with personable staff and good food, just what you want!

5 /5 Mo Mo: Wow! Simpsons has earned its stellar reputation after years of perfect service and incredible food. Housed by the iconic high end Savoy hotel on the Strand, right in the heart of London. Their Sunday roast has a world class reputation and for good reason. The huge racks of roast rib are wheeled to your table and carved right in front of you. You choose whatever you want, well done to rare, they will give you a good plate of meat and an array of side dishes. They organised flowers and allowed us to bring a celebration cake. Excellent food and service does come at a price so be prepared. An opulent authentic English dining experience.

5 /5 Daniel Baxter: A fantastic experience, and I mean experience in the simple sense that it is more than just good food. Dining at the newly reopened Simpsons has a real sense of occasion. From the moment you walk in, you notice the history of the place, the high ceilings, and the buzz in the room, especially as the doors open into the Grand Divan Room. The food is exactly what you want from Simpsons: classic British cooking done properly. It would have been hard not to go for the beef trolley, and it lived up to expectations. The beef was carved beautifully, the roast potatoes were crisp and golden, and the vegetables were cooked with care. It is traditional, but feels special. For pudding, the lemon posset was spot on, light, sharp, and nicely balanced. The spotted dick was also excellent, served warm with delicate custard that did not feel heavy or overly sweet. The Pear Ricky cocktail was a highlight too: crisp, refreshing, and well-made. Overall, the quality was consistent. The service was attentive and professional without being overbearing, and it made the whole evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. Very happy to say: Simpsons is open again, and it is well worth a visit.

5 /5 Jamie Conti: Surprisingly tasty food, which unfortunately my pictures don’t do justice. Haven’t been in years, but the mix of classic staples such as the beef trolleys together with more modern comfort food really works. Must give a mention to our lovely waiters who made it a truly special occasion!
