Set in a gorgeous Grade II-listed Georgian villa, the decor is bright and modern but respects the building’s elegance and heritage.The food, too, respects classical tradition, but is a contemporary take on British cuisine - combining influences from around the world in dishes based on fabulous impeccably sourced seasonal ingredients.Enjoy an aperitif in one of the elegant lounges in the older part of the building before moving on to the sleek restaurant with its blonde wood beams, exposed stone walls and bi-fold doors opening onto the garden.The knowledge and experience of Head Chef Luke Tipping shows through in the assured, confident nature of the cooking – and he has the skill to know when to hold back. Dishes are balanced and pure, with subtle modern touches and a pleasing clarity of flavour; be sure to try the signature tapenade bread rolls and delicious soufflés. Service is enthusiastic and brims with personality.

    I have been going to UCB for many years and always find it an enjoyable experience. This time it was no different two of us went for my birthday meal at UCB. It was against a lovely experience, the food was equivalent to a Michelin Star restaurant and it was excellent value for money. The manager was really friendly and very helpful and one person whose name I don’t know but was from Dublin was also really friendly and we had a good laugh with him. He even got the chef to do a chocolate happy birthday message with some chocolate macaroons on a plate for me. We would definitely be going again in June.

    Superb from a beautifully mixed Negroni to the nibbles sent to accompany pre lunch drinks. Three course £49.50 lunch menu excellent value trout starter sublime. The main was excellent pork served two ways, order the crème brûlée with no need to thank me for its heaven on a plate. The warm olive rolls & crusty sourdough are always welcome with wild garlic & cods roe butters. Some restaurants are let down by service but Simpsons excel unobtrusive friendly but with the correct amount of explanation so that you don’t glaze over in boredom. If you are thinking of booking please do it’s a gem, set in beautiful gardens. Luke Tipping head chef and team are always on top form.
