more spacious. The ornate plasterwork ceiling, once besmirched by cigar fumes, has been painted in what Angell describes as a “distressed, tea-stained colour”: a dazzling white would have been almost sacrilegious. And the food? The kitchen is now the fiefdom of chef William Hemming, whose menu (sorry, “bill of fare”: Simpson’s remains staunchly British) pulls off more or less the same trick as Angell managed with the decor: many of the traditional dishes are still present and correct (including steak-and-kidney pudding), but there is a lighter, more modern touch evident too. Potted shrimps are a tad fridge-cold, but pleasingly mace-spiked, while an “English summer garden salad”, featuring soft-cooked quail’s eggs, charred pea pods, sweetcorn and tomatoes, has the kind of fresh crunch that previous Simpson’s chefs boiled into submission.

Kaspar's interior If you’re in the mood for oysters and bubbly, where else would you go but The Savoy’s elegant art deco-inspired seafood restaurant, where a blanc de blancs champagne is the favoured match? Beyond that, “oysters are all about personal taste,” says sous chef Brandon Clemens. “The best way to find out what you like is to try them plain to savour the unique flavour of each individual oyster. Our favourite way to enjoy them in Kaspar’s is on their own or with a touch of oscietra caviar.” Loch Ryan natives are Clemens’s favourite: “They are the oldest, finest and also the only oyster bed to be harvested in Scotland.” Look out for Kaspar himself: a cat sculpture commissioned in 1926 to join unlucky tables of 13 diners.

The Vibe... This place literally oozes glamour like I’ve never seen before. Just perfect for the winter months when rooftop bars go into hibernation. The bar is completely decked out in gold and black, lit just by candle flames and the bar itself sits on a former cabaret stage – what’s more extra than that? While you take a few hours to decide which cocktail you want you can snuggle up in one of the sumptuous alcoves whilst being serenaded by a glorious pianist and nibbling on bar snacks.

We Drank... You are completely spoilt for choice when it comes to the cocktail menu. Each cocktail comes with a mini story which makes it even harder to decide. The first cocktail we chose was The Missing Shaker. This was inspired by the legendary bartender Harry Craddock who buried a cocktail shaker in the wall of The Savoy back in 1927 never to be found again. When served by the creative mixologists, they explain the story while constructing your drink in front of you (10/10 for multi-tasking), which really makes the experience memorable.

Monthly unique browsers: 2,817,258 The next drink we chose was The Showgirl. Although the price is a whopping £50, it really is a showstopper, the presentation and the overall experience makes it worth the price. The Showgirl cocktail is inspired by Marilyn Monroe who took tea at The Savoy and wowed British journalists with her beauty, charm and quick wit at a press conference there. There is a reason behind each and every ingredient in the drink including the Dom Perignon and the roses – but I won't spoil it for you.

The Perfect Plus One... Ideal for getting to know a first date. The bar is so dark and sexy you could fancy anyone in there.

The Verdict... It might scare your bank account but it’s worth it for a special occasion.

Unless you pick at the bread or order 'just the samphire, please', seafood restaurants tend to be off-limits to vegans. But at Kaspar's, head chef James Pare has recently added a vegan menu to the seasonal seafood one, so while your pescatarian companion c racks on crustaceans, you can graze on the confit heirloom tomato salad, vegan sushi with avocado or the delicately spiced crunch of a samosa with a black -lentil ragout. Mains also display a deft hand with Asian flavours, with laksa (tempura tofu, book choy, coconut chilli) among the well-mannered highlights, along with a well-seasoned burger (lentil, chickpea, cauliflower). The chocolate tart, accessorised with salted caramel and a honeycomb sorbet, is a rich wedge of awesomeness. But in some ways the menu isn't the point. The point is that vegans can now hold their heads up high in this beautiful Art Deco room, whether there's an 'r' in the month or not. And it's a chance to experience the Savoy's superb wine list, much of which is vegan -friendly ask the excellent sommelier to pair each course with a glass, and expect something crisp and bright from the Alsace along the way.

What: Table for 13 With a Cat Why: Caspar might be the friendly ghost, but Kaspar at the Savoy Kaspar has a scarier background. Legend has it that South African diamond magnate Woolf Joe dined at restaurant in 1898 along with fourteen guests. Except that one cancelled at the last minute. Dinner went on with an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unluckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 13 guests, making one superstitious diner announce that death would befall the first person to leave. Joel took that gamble and a few weeks later he was shot dead in Johannesburg. To avert a PR disaster The Savoy offered a member of staff to sit amongst tables of thirteen, but this was unpopular as it stimied conversation. So Kaspar was born, a three foot high cat sculpted in 1926 by Basil Lonides to stave off bad luck. He joins parties of 13 with a napkin around his neck and a full place setting.

Kaspar's at the Savoy Halloween revellers are invited to dine in decadence in the grand setting of The Savoy. The elegant private dining room at Kaspar’s restaurant will serve up a dazzling five-course feast to discerning guests – including black devilled risotto, smoky green crushed ice and bloody beef and pumpkin pie – inspired by the ill-fated story of South African diamond magnate Woolf Joel, who dined at The Savoy in 1898. Story has it that Joel held a dinner at The Savoy, but was cursed by a fellow guest who announced that the first to leave the unlucky table of 13 would be faced with an untimely death. Joel left first, and a few weeks later he was shot and killed in Johannesburg. Kaspar’s will be recreating the legendary dinner party with the exact same number of 13 unlucky guests. But who will be brave enough to leave first? Savoy Hotel, Strand, WC2R 0EU; 30th October, 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th November ; £1313.13 for a table of 13 Visit Kaspars.co.uk

Kaspar’s Halloween Dinner Party at The Savoy Monthly Unique Browsers: 16, 997, 246

Have you heard the one about the South African diamond magnate and his notorious dinner at The Savoy in 1898? The story goes that Woolf Joel organised a fancy soiree for fourteen guests, only for one to cancel at the last minute. The dinner continued with the unlucky number of attendees, but one guest announced that the first person to leave the table would die soon after. Joel scoffed and left before anyone else… and was shot dead in Johannesburg a few weeks later. The Savoy then offered to seat a member of staff at all subsequent dinners if there were only 13 guests, but this move proved unpopular as no one really wanted an outsider eavesdropping on private conversations. And so the legend of Kasper was born.Kasper, the three-foot-high sculpted cat, has been a fixture at The Savoy since 1926, taking his place at the table and complete with napkin wrapped around his neck. In honour of the legend, Executive Chef Holger Jackish has created a special menu that will be served on two dates this Halloween season. Priced at £1,313.13 for a table of 13 guests including Kaspar, this will be a unique and luxury way to celebrate Halloween with friends and loved ones.

This Halloween, Kaspar's at The Savoy invites All Hallows Eve revellers to a sophisticated dinner party for 13 guests on Saturday 28th and Tuesday 31st October. Set in the elegant private dining room at Kaspar's restaurant, this bespoke five-course dinner party is inspired by the ill-fated story of South African diamond magnate Woolf Joel, who dined at The Savoy in 1898. The story has it that Joel held a dinner at The Savoy for fourteen guests and one cancelled at the last minute. The dinner continued, but one superstitious guest announced that death would come to the first person to leave the unlucky table of thirteen. Joel took that gamble and a few weeks later he was shot dead in Johannesburg. To avoid a repeat performance and damaging its reputation, The Savoy offered a member of staff to sit amongst tables of thirteen thereafter. Unable to discuss private matters or feel at ease, this proved to be unpopular with guests and thus, in a stroke of genius, Kaspar was born. Kaspar is a three foot high cat that was sculpted in 1926 by British Basil Lonides to stave off bad luck. For almost 90 years The Savoy has been more than happy to oblige parties of thirteenwith Kaspar's company, whereby he joins in with napkin around the neck and a full place setting to 'enjoy' every course. this Halloween dinner party, diners can choose whether to have Kaspar join their table, take a Halloween-appropriate gamble and stick with an un-lucky 13 guests. Created by Executive Chef Holger or Jackish diners will indulge in a welcome glass of champagne followed by a five-course feast which will feature decadent and devilish dishes such as Black deviled risotto, Smoky green crushed ice, Bloody beef and Pumpkin Pie.

Tony Page checks into The Savoy with deal for kosher catering

BY DANIEL SUGARMAN • THE SAVOY hotel has announced that Tony Page Ltd has been given exclusive rights to provide kosher catering onsite. Mr Page, who founded his company in 1991, said he was "honoured to include the Savoy within our iconic venues. "I worked at the Savoy from 1964 to 1967 when I was at hotel school and 1 used to work in the evenings as a waiter there". He added that his company had

previously provided kosher catering at the iconic central London hotel 20 years ago. But "they decided at some p o i n t to p r o v i d e t h e i r own kosher catering, and they've done an excellent job." However, the high-end caterer said he was conf i d e n t t h a t "we can bring something to t h e m as a Tony Page

kosher caterer... providing a certain magic and style at the Savoy". Mr Page confirmed that the Fairmont hotel group, the Savoy's owners, had first approached his company about the possibility of a partnership around six months ago. He s t r e s s e d t h a t " h a v i n g t h e Savoy... as a venue that we work on, albeit exclusively, doesn't affect the relationships we have in existence with other places." Although the deal will take effect immediately, Mr Page said that kosher bookings made with the Savoy before the arrangement was finalised would be fulfilled by the hotel, rather than by his own company. The Savoy has had its own kosher kitchen for many years, which continues to be supervised by the Sephardi Kashrut Authority. He made clear that the new deal with the hotel would incur "no additional cost to the client. "If you put the room hire and catering charges together, it actually works out about the same as what they were charging." Mr Page a l s o t a l k e d of "almost a revolution" in terms of the company's staff, with a number of new young chefs coming on board. The Savoy c o n firmed the deal but did not provide further comment. PHOTO: TWITTER

Wear your art on your sleeve

COMPARE/CONTRAST HAS BECOME something of a prop for curators looking to dig out extra meaning (and artworks) for exhibitions, and sure enough, October hosts a trio of juxtapositions from the intriguing to the deeply wacky. We have Dali/Duchamp at the Royal Academy (opens October 7), aligning two 20th century giants, seemingly near opposites, but who happened to be firm friends. Meanwhile Reflections: Van Eyck and the Pre-Raphaelites (October 2) gives the National Gallery the chance to showcase one of its greatest treasures, The Arnolfini Portrait, alongside works of the 19th century Brits it partly influenced – I suspect Van Eyck will come out of it better than Rosetti. Finally, sublime meets the ridiculous in Margate, where the Turner Contemporary is rolling out Tracey Emin’s unmade bed alongside JMW Turner paintings chosen by Emin herself. There are other coincidental but nevertheless tempting comparisons: retrospectives for Jean-Michel Basquiat (Barbican Gallery) and Jasper Johns (Royal Academy) show two great painters – one who died aged 28, the other still going strong at 87 – drenched in the visual culture and turmoil of 20th century America. That’s a one-day compare/contrast worth making.

STYLED BY DESIGN, a new exhibition by Gray M.C.A. at Gallery 8 on Duke Street, showcases a collection of framed rare and limited-edition printed textiles celebrating the relationship between 20th century modern artists and the textile manufacturers of the post-war period. Pieces include 1940s silkscreen designs by Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson for Ascher Ltd, as well as designs imagined by Henry Moore, Pablo Picasso, John Piper, Vivienne Westwood and others. Only ever produced as limited editions or short runs, these textiles are highly collectable, as exhibition curator Ashley Gray explains: ‘As prices for Modern British Art spiral ever higher, collectors, curators and lovers of modern art have woken up to the rarity, beauty and historical importance of the textile work of the modern masters. These rare and powerful works underline the innovative genius of both the artists and the textile producers of the post-war era.’ Styled by Design is a free exhibition which runs from 3 to 7 October. Prices range from £500 to £15,000. Gallery 8, 8 Duke St, SW1Y 6BN graymca.co.uk JD

In the flavour of the old school Longstanding restaurants are the backbone of London’s dining scene. How are they holding their own? Words by Johanna Derry

CHURCHILL WAS SUCH A REGULAR at Simpsons in the Strand that he has a table named after him. Sixty years on, you can eat where he ate, luxuriate in the same splendour, and enjoy the same food and service. Yes, the restaurant has recently been refurbished, but even so, it remains one of a handful of old-guard London dining experiences that have endured – in this case since 1828. In a city of food fads, that matters. What’s the secret to staying power? ‘It’s about knowing who you are, but remaining open to change,’ says William Hemming, Simpsons’s head chef. Keeping constancy and avoiding chasing novelty is what Brian Clivaz, owner of L’Escargot, agrees is important. ‘It’s good to see new restaurants. But it’s equally good to have a number of old faithfuls you know will deliver. Plus, Bourgeois French cooking has been in fashion for hundreds of years.’

Celebrating the best of the silver screen

L’Escargot has been a fixture on Soho’s Greek Street since 1927, watching others come and go. Its Soho neighbour Quo Vadis is just one year older. ‘We’re very fortunate to be in the position where our original concepts have stood the test of time,’ says owner Sam Hart. J Sheekey in Covent Garden since the 1890s, Wilton’s on Jermyn Street since 1742, and Sweetings in the City since 1889, all clearly abide by this maxim, too, guarding their reputations rather than riding them. ‘We don’t mess around with our dishes,’ says Richard Corrigan, chef patron of Bentley’s Oyster Bar and Grill, another stalwart. ‘We keep it simple, with classics, good quality wines, and polished service.’ That’s not to say they’re resting on their laurels or avoiding innovation. ‘Some restaurants are so firmly fixed in the past they’re a kind of museum to a bygone age,’ says Fernando Peire, Director of The Ivy, which celebrates its centenary this year. ‘Sure, we have dishes that haven’t changed much, but there are new additions every two weeks that acknowledge the trends.’ For others, keeping things fresh means a great chef overseeing the pass. Quo Vadis has Jeremy Lee; Bibendum now has Claude Bosi giving what he describes as ‘unashamedly fine dining’ a contemporary flair. While decades-old restaurants seem unchanging, they’ve only endured by ensuring they deserve our custom. Would Churchill be surprised by the new Simpsons? Things may not be exactly as they were, but no doubt he’d feel at home.

For the 61st time – no less – the BFI London film festival returns to London this month, promising a rich showing of British talent, with none other than our cover star, and Loving Vincent actor, Douglas Booth, topping the bill. The classic First World War play Journey’s End by R C Sheriff makes its European Premiere during the festival, brought to the big screen by director Saul Dibb, and starring Sam Claflin as Captain Stanhope and Asa Butterfield (pictured left) as Raleigh. These days, the festival is also a proving ground for emerging filmmakers. For the second time, the IWC Schaffhausen Filmmakers Bursary Award – the most significant bursary of its kind in the UK film industry – will be giving one of this country’s most promising filmmakers £50,000. The winner of last year’s inaugural award was Hope Dickson Leach. ‘I’ve been given the gift of time,’ she said. October 4 to 15 bfi.org.uk AC The Jackal October 2017
