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.

    We haven’t been to Simpsons for a long time but returning was a good move. The tasting menu was really excellent. Probably one of the most delicious meals we have ever had. The best course was a cod dish in a very mild but delicious chilli sauce accompanied by spinach in a goats cheese sauce. Sounds unappealing but in fact really exceptional. Service friendly but not overly so. All in all a great experience. Thank you.

    We dined at Simpsons as a family for my sons 18th birthday. Such a gorgeous experience. The food and service is exceptional. The card and chocolates for my son made it particularly special. He is autistic so this was a perfectly discreet amount of fuss for him. He really loved it, we all did. Thankyou for a lovely experience.

    Celebrating my niece's eighteenth birthday at Simpsons was a delightful return to a culinary haven I've cherished for three decades. My journey with Simpsons began in its Kenilworth incarnation when I was eighteen, and I've been a loyal supporter ever since, following its evolution to Birmingham and enjoying countless special occasions, including the Eureka Cooking School, Antona at Home, and most recently, Soko. This visit was a testament to the consistently exceptional standards I've come to expect. From the warm welcome at the front of house to the impeccable attentiveness of the serving team, we felt genuinely valued and meticulously looked after. We opted for the prestige menu, and I was blown away by the plant-based offering. The creativity and depth of flavour were extraordinary, with a fascinating array of superfoods woven into each dish. The signature beetroot dish, in particular, was an absolute masterpiece – a testament to the kitchen's artistry and innovation. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of our experience. The celebratory card and the exquisite Soko chocolates were a thoughtful and much-appreciated touch, adding an extra layer of warmth to the occasion. Simpsons continues to be a shining example of fine dining done right. It's where culinary excellence meets genuine hospitality, creating an unforgettable experience. Whether you're a long-time admirer like myself or a first-time visitor, I wholeheartedly recommend Simpsons for any special occasion or an extraordinary dining experience.
