Bill for Lunch at Simpson's-in-the-Strand - December, 1951: A Christmas Treat for a Schoolboy! This intriguing black-and-white photograph captures a rare moment in the history of Simpson's-in-the-Strand, the renowned London restaurant that has been a staple of British dining culture since the 18th century. The image, dated December 1951, shows a young boy proudly holding a bill for a lunch he had enjoyed at the esteemed establishment. Simpson's-in-the-Strand, located on the iconic Strand in the heart of London, has been a favorite dining spot for generations of Britons and visitors alike. Known for its elegant dining rooms, impeccable service, and exquisite cuisine, the restaurant has played host to countless notable guests throughout its rich history. In this photograph, the bill reveals that the young boy's lunch consisted of a roast beef dinner, a glass of milk, and a pudding, which would have cost a modest 1 pound and 15 shillings (£1.15) at the time. The receipt also includes a list of additional items, such as bread and butter, tea, and a Christmas pudding, which were likely enjoyed by the boy's family or companions. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the dining experiences of a bygone era. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal and tradition of Simpson's-in-the-Strand, which continues to attract diners from around the world more than six decades later.
