Went to Simpson's in the Strand with my parents yesterday. My dad wanted to go because he last went in 1965 and recently saw it on telly.
Ridiculously old fashioned in every respect (my dad said it hadn't changed from what he could remember) apart from the prices. The rib of beef is carved at the table and was brilliantly tender (£27.50). Roast potatoes were a let down and almost screamed of mass catering. Pigeon breast for starter was excellent (£10.50). It's the sort of place that serves spotted dick (£9) as a dessert without a hint of irony.
I would never go back but glad I've been especially as my dad paid.
