Patrons at
Simpson's may choose to dine upstairs in more formal Adams or the
oak-paneled dinning room on the main floor. The service upstairs is
pleasantly traditional while the main floor dining area is a bustle of
waiters and knife wielding carvers navigating trolleys of roasted beef and
lamb joynts from table to table. What ever you do - do not miss the Yorkshire
pudding!
"Unmistakably, the home of the power

With no less than Cesar Ritz in charge of the
hotel and Escoffier master of its kitchens what a start in life the Savoy
enjoyed. In a word, service in the Grill Room is sublime. The food
spectacular. There isn't better Dover sole to be had in Britain.
And, naturally, it's Michelin commended.
