The news is out! Jeremy King has announced that he will be re-launching “London’s last grande-dame restaurant” Simpsons in the Strand as part of his return to the capital’s restaurant scene.
One of London’s oldest restaurants, the 20,000 sq ft venue dates back to 1828. We were charged by the owners of The Savoy to source a suitable operator to take the historic site into the future, and we couldn’t be happier to see it in such accomplished and highly regarded hands.
King told The Times that it “will be more of a big-theatre brasserie but one that will very much hark on its tradition. I want people to walk in there and say, ‘Oh good, they haven’t changed it’, although it will have changed.”
We are thrilled to have been named Alternative Specialist of the year at the industry flagship EG Awards held at The Grosvenor House.
Recognising our unparalleled position as best in class, the judges said: “The Coffer Group wasn’t only able to showcase a strong array of deals, it has continued to reinvent itself, grow and remain successful after decades of being market leader”
We’d like to thank EG, the Judges, sponsors and above all, our incredible people and clients.
We are so proud to be seen as the leisure and hospitality sector’s flagbearer and will continue to dedicate ourselves to the industry we love.

The concept aims to provide a convivial environment open to all age and income groups and is inspired by the architecture, colours and lifestyle of Venice.
