The Simpsons story began in 1993 when Andreas Antona realised his dream by opening his own restaurant in the centre of the historic town of Kenilworth.
Just two years later, the restaurant received a Michelin Bib Gourmand and, within four years, had been awarded a Michelin star.
Three decades of culinary excellence have resulted in numerous accolades and the establishment of Simpsons as a favourite dining destination for directing foodies.
Simpsons has held a Michelin star since 1999 and proudly holds a host of other awards recognised in the industry as benchmarks of quality.
In the same year that the restaurant was honoured with a Michelin star, chef-patron Andreas Antona was named Chefs’ Chef of the Year by the Craft Guild of Chefs and his long-time colleague Luke Tipping won the first ever Midlands Chef of the Year award.
Andreas was honoured with a doctorate by University College Birmingham in 2013 in recognition of his dedication and contribution to the hospitality industry.
Simpsons chef-patron went on to be named International Chef of the Year at La Gastronomie et des Vins in 2014.
Its cookery school was refurbished in 2017 with the opening of the innovative Eureka Kitchen.
