About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Charming
Set in a gorgeous Grade II-listed Georgian villa, the decor is bright and modern but respects the building’s elegance and heritage.

The food, too, respects classical tradition, but is a contemporary take on British cuisine - combining influences from around the world in dishes based on fabulous impeccably sourced seasonal ingredients.

Enjoy an aperitif in one of the elegant lounges in the older part of the building before moving on to the sleek restaurant with its blonde wood beams, exposed stone walls and bi-fold doors opening onto the garden.

The knowledge and experience of Head Chef Luke Tipping shows through in the assured, confident nature of the cooking – and he has the skill to know when to hold back. Dishes are balanced and pure, with subtle modern touches and a pleasing clarity of flavour; be sure to try the signature tapenade bread rolls and delicious soufflés.

Service is enthusiastic and brims with personality.

    Evening, Our first time experiencing Simpsons.. Me & my Daughter (her birthday treat as always wanted to try a taster menu & wine flight) had an amazing experience from the moment we walked through the door until the moment we left.. the staff made us feel so welcome & relaxed. Being our first time we were a little nervous.. The food was tremendous. A new level of dining for us both. Thank you. My only little frustration was when I booked the table I chose the classic menu & wine flight. When the menus arrived only had the prestige menu was the option, obviously lunch menu & the 3 course option was available. Prestige menu & wine flight obviously are much more than I had budgeted for so went for the 3 course & they did a wine for each dish which was very nice. Thank you again Damian

    Superb from a beautifully mixed Negroni to the nibbles sent to accompany pre lunch drinks. Three course £49.50 lunch menu excellent value trout starter sublime. The main was excellent pork served two ways, order the crème brûlée with no need to thank me for its heaven on a plate. The warm olive rolls & crusty sourdough are always welcome with wild garlic & cods roe butters. Some restaurants are let down by service but Simpsons excel unobtrusive friendly but with the correct amount of explanation so that you don’t glaze over in boredom. If you are thinking of booking please do it’s a gem, set in beautiful gardens. Luke Tipping head chef and team are always on top form.

    Lovely dining experience from beginning to end. Had the plant based classic menu and was left very impressed by the use of simple seasonal produce to assemble such spectacularly tasting and presenting dishes.
