This was a wonderful indulgent treat, gifted by a good friend. We had a 3 course lunch, where the plates were small, but there were so many little extra courses we certainly did not leave hungry. For me the many tasters was wonderful as I can get bored of one large plate that loses its individual tastes. The service was immaculate, I even had a footstool for my handbag!

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of experiencing a tasting menu at Simpsons with my family. Created by Luke Tipping, the menu was outstanding—every course was thoroughly enjoyable, with perfectly balanced taste, texture, and aroma. The service was exceptional from start to finish, with the front-of-house team being both welcoming and attentive. I’ll definitely be back again

Simpson’s is a true gem and fully deserving of its Michelin star. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable, with Lucas ensuring every detail of our evening was flawless. His attentiveness and warm demeanor made us feel truly cared for. The dishes were stunning, both in presentation and flavor, showcasing the chef’s exceptional creativity and use of seasonal ingredients. Thomas, the wine sommelier, elevated the experience even further with his perfect pairings and insightful recommendations. His passion for wine shone through, making each selection feel personal and memorable. The ambiance was elegant yet inviting, creating the perfect setting for a special night out. Simpson’s is an absolute must-visit for anyone who loves fine dining and extraordinary service!

Faultless. Visited for my wife's 40th birthday, and was welcomed with a "Happy Birthday", a card from the team and left with a small box of chocolates, really helping to make it feel special. The food was amazing and as it was a Thursday lunchtime it was quiet, so felt like we had the place to ourselves. Highly recommend, and my thanks to the team.

Wonderful place to celebrate our Ruby Anniversary! All the staff made us feel so special, their friendliness and all the little extras. They are a lovely group of young people with enthusiasm and a real warmth and passion for what they do. The food was exquisite as usual and the setting just glorious. Cannot recommend highly enough!

I recently celebrated my 30th birthday with Simpsons, as a surprise from my friends. Wow. The welcome, the service, the drinks, the food all fantastic and an experience I’d recommend to anyone. Everyone who looked after us was brilliant. Thank you for making the day so special for me/us. The birthday card signed by the team was a lovely, unexpected touch too. Ps if you can, go for a wine pairing. The sommelier was great, and the choices to complement each course were superb.
