“A message from Andreas... It is with regret that I must announce the closure of Simpsons following 32 years in business.
“I didn’t want it to end like this but with the economy as it stands, and so much time and money invested to keep us going, it is the most sensible decision.
“I put Simpsons on the market a year and a half ago, after ongoing health issues led me to re-evaluate where and how I needed to focus my time and energy.
“At the time, I had every confidence that such a longstanding and respected Birmingham restaurant would find a suitable buyer to take it into an exciting new era. However, three aborted sales attempts later and I am left will no choice but to close the doors.
“Simpsons has been a huge part of my life for the past 32 years and I want to thank Luke, Steve and the team for maintaining the high standards that our guests expect during the toughest of economic times. I will always be grateful for your hard work and commitment.
“I also want to extend my thanks to Simpsons alumni who played an important role in the restaurant’s history. I am proud that Simpsons helped kickstart the successful careers for so many talented local chefs and front of house personnel.
“If it wasn’t for the hard work of the team, digging deep into my own pockets and the loyalty and support of our guests, this moment would have arrived much sooner.
“In my 50 plus years in hospitality I have never known a more challenging economic climate for restaurants. Our many calls for reasonable government support have fallen on deaf ears.
“The joy and satisfaction of creating and running such a special restaurant for so long and meeting so many wonderful people along the way has made my time at Simpsons memorable.
My heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been part of this journey.
“In the meantime, Simpson’s sister restaurant The Cross at Kenilworth remains open as usual and ready to welcome guests new and old.
“Yours, Andreas Antona”
The Alexandra was built by William Coutts in 1901 and was originally named The Lyceum, before the Salberg family took over a few years later and renamed it.
It was in family ownership for nearly 60 years with a lot of love and care poured into it, which still remains today.
