An old old chess club still running where the maitre d plays seven games at once and still manages to coordinate exquisite servings of the roast beef of old England Yorkshire pudding comes from the north and sole from Dover potted shrimp etc etc somewhat sublime and otherworldly but only because it is. Maple leaf rag and rondo alla turca on piano! Potted palms and parquetry. The serving trolleys are almost large enough to apply for EU membership.

Great lunch spot.. Have been here 7 times for lunch as its right infront of my hotel. A great feel to the room but ask for the side boths much more cozy and relaxed, center tables a little to open and a bit snug when the cart comes by. A great re-group place for lunch.
Solo diner- subpar service. The beef rib roast was good, not great, portion seemed a little small based on prior experiences. All sides and sauces were good. Dessert was very good. Being a solo diner I was originally sat netx gto the piano in the view of the entoire room. I asked and was moved. Service from there on was abscent aside from the chef who carved the beef and the bus boys who swifted the empty plates away. Hopefully they were just off there game today.
Roast Beef. I first had roast beef from the trolley in 1962, aged15. I was hooked from then on and frequently ate at Simpson’s from the age of about 21. However, around 1988 I noticed the beef was tougher and less tasty. To my horror I was told that they no longer served pure Aberdeen Angus, but a Charolais cross. These alien cattle are now the most common sight on all England’s pastures, and lowland Scotland’s too. The succulent and delicious beef of old England (and Scotland) has been fatally compromised. I seem to be the only one who has noticed – so sad.
Proudly, Unreservedly Old-School. We thoroughly enjoyed the Beef Wellington, Dover Sole, desert sampler, the room itself & the service. Worth every penny!
This restaurant and accompanying amenities were steped in character and all the staff encountered were very friendly and helpful. We had the set menu with wood pigeon and beef. The former was delicious, albeit an unusual taste compared to some other birds, accompanied by a good selection of beans and mini potatoes. However, the beef dish was the cornerstone of the meal and seemed to be thoide of re majority of the diners when we visited. Three troleys are guided around by chefs and contain a number of different cuts of beef which are carved to your specifications in front of you. This is served with gravy made from the cows juices, an extremely large Yorkshire pudding, roasts and buttered cabbage. I selected a medium cut which was suprisingly pink for such instructions but incredably tasty. The texture and taste of the beef was superb and the portion size was very generous – more what a mother would giveto stuff a son than an expensive London eatery size. I could find little to fault in the experience and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys good traditional food and dining in atmospheric locales.
