Chef Lawrence Lingard puts longevity of Simplicity down to menu of classic favourites Simplicity reaches its 10 year milestone on February 28th, a tremendous anniversary in a business where most new restaurants close within their first year.
Chef and owner Lawrence Lingard puts its longevity down to his menu of classic favourites with nouvelle makeover, using good produce and good cooking.
He tells of how he has to keep five staple dishes on the menu as that is what people always ask for, and one of them, the Slow Roast Pork Belly, has become his signature dish.
We began with a Peroni for Mum and a Malbec for me while we listened to our host discuss his exciting plans for an extension, his tales of the seven seas and interviewing ‘chefs’ who thought pastry always came in a packet.
A table of Bermondsey regulars next to us finished their Sunday roasts and discussed plans with Lawrence for a December celebration they wanted to book with him, getting in early.
