We once saw Simon Rogan on a British tv program and been
We once saw Simon Rogan on a British tv program and been meaning to come here ever since. Located in the small but beautiful village of Cartmel in the Lake District this is a small hotel with a two Michelin starred restaurant. The room we had was very nice and cosy and the restaurant was just a short walk away. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had nice bath products from Simon Rogans line of bath products with local herbs and flowers. There is also a shop in town where you can buy his products to take back. The restaurant serves a 19 course degustation menu and there is a vegetarian option as well. They grow all the produce in their own farm and also forage for herbs and flowers from the area. The emphasis is on the produce and extracting maximum flavour from them. Let me tell you, I was in heaven. The dishes albeit small were amazing. Once you get to course number 15 you want to stop but somehow you carry on and manage the rest :-) Four courses of dessert which were fabulous and the Anvil - miso ice cream disc with Apple base was the best dessert I have had in a long time. The kale salad was fabulous as was the local lamb and lobster. Most of the flavours were new to my palette and I loved it. It's rare that I have the same opinion of the entire meal and not one course I did not like. Would come back here in a heartbeat. Service was amazing and the wine list good. The ambience is fabulous and the restaurant is located in an old blacksmiths house. Worth the trip to Cartmel.
Be the first to ReplyThe presentation and flow of the tasting menu was excellent.
The dessert was mediocre but no one comes to these restaurants for the desserts right?? I had a lovely cod dish that I enjoyed the most but I cannot complain about any of the dishes. Almost forgot that they make a dressing in front of you and it's delicious!! The waiter staff was interesting, there was what seemed to be a senior wait staff who was SO BLUNT! I wasn't offended but also was in shock as this is not the type of restaurant that you meet staff like him. It was funny but also strange. I enjoyed my dinner but have had better. I don't regret going but also would rather try somewhere new next time I'm in the Lake District.

I jumped at the chance to join two friends here who are recreating the Trip 'on the cheap', following a useful Guardian article although of course a lunchtime tasting menu at L'Enclume is still £55 (£45 for wine flight) so for most people this would be a big treat - and I think well worth it for a special trip.Staff were so lovely throughout, unsurprisingly super professional and attentive. The restaurant has a warmed and relaxed atmosphere and we had a table in the conservatory overlooking the pretty garden and stream, which was great. They don't make it feel at all intimidating for fine dining newbies by myself, so you can just admire and enjoy the beautifully presented food.I won't go into massive details but just to highlight some things1) They suggested a begonia-infused (I think) gin cocktail as an aperitif - this was about £10 and I would say go for it if you like that kind of thing, I of course REALLY liked it2) There were just so many standout ingredients - truffle, ham fat, smoked eel, cheese dumpling, leek grown on their farm, veal tartare, candied beetroot and venison. I also loved the dark chocolate pine cones that came out on a little branch on the end, to accompany some very boozy coffees and herbal teas3) The wine nearly stole the show - my favourites from the wine flight were an Italian white with a German name and a delicious Argentinian Malbec.4) The cheese course and accompanying wine flight was a massive extra indulgence but was really worth it - the Viognier was so delicious and we tried 10 beautiful cheeses - there was four of us and a cheese board is normally 5 cheeses between 2. I actually probably would prefer the latter option as you don't get much when you split one piece into 4 but of course it gives you a chance to try so many options. I think all the cheeses are available in Cartmel Cheese on the other side of the village and the next day I bought the tunwoth and finn soft cheeses (one of which was the best cheeses I had ever tasted but I couldn't remember which so HAD to buy both! Turns out it's the tunworth!) and the stichelton was some kind of raw stilton situation which was also outstanding. We stayed at the Priory Hotel around the corner which was excellent.

I've been to a few Michelin restaurants including Fera at Claridges which is run by Simon Rogan and in most cases I felt underwhelmed. However, I always believed that there's more to the man, whose experimental cooking I was admiring for such a long time. And I'm glad I gave him another chance as the lunch at L'Enclume was the meal I've had in my live. If you are visiting the Lake District and you don't drive, getting to Cartmel can be a bit tricky. We had to take two buses and then walk for 50 minutes to get to the village where it's based, but it was all so worthy!The decor of the place is simple. Actually a lot of things are simple here to not to distract you during the experience (the restaurant doesn't have music or wifi, for example). The menu is placed on the table in sealed silver enveloped which you can keep as a little souvenir. Our food adventure started with thin crisp bread and a parsley 'moss' served on a stone with cod roe cream cheese. The eel was served in a spiky crisp was perfectly smoked. The turnip broth with slightly pickled turnip, forest mushrooms and a tiny cheese dumpling that was melting in my mouth was exquisite. It was followed by a beautiful flowery salad, all ingredients of which were grown and sourced by the chef. I'm pescatarian, so I got lemon sole instead of venison and though tasty and beautifully cooked, it was probably the weakest dish of the day. Both of the desserts, including sorrel granita with forest berries and buttermilk and extremely fluffy almond semifreddo, were divine. Everyone needs a little treat sometimes, so if you are around, I absolutely encourage you to visit this place, it's like anything you've ever tried.

Be the first to ReplyVisited last March and a year later, thinking about going
Visited last March and a year later, thinking about going again in the future; the lingering memories are that good.We had the full tasting menu in a group of five and the food was amazing. And the service, wow. Impeccable. Our sommelier was particularly impressive. Not to mention one of our drunken comrades was politely humoured by the staff after the meal and even got to see inside the kitchen :) dream come true for him.Lastly, as far as 2 starred Michelin restaurants go, this is a bargain.You must go. Go! Do it now!!

...superb! From the moment you walk through the door into the rustic, but elegant dining room you are made to feel special. There is no pretentiousness either and given that it's just been awarded the accolade of the UK 's best restaurant, you could be forgiven for thinking it would be. The service from the staff is impeccable and very attentive. Some people might not like having an introduction to each plate of food but when your spending serious cash you might as well know exactly what your eating and how it was made. The dishes in the sixteen course tasting menu are as clever as they are delicious. Each one an explosion on the senses! You need around three hours for the menu we had and boy was it worth it. I will definitely go back there and sample the delights of Simon Rogan's talents again.

I've eaten in a number of Michelin starred restaurants over the years, but this was the first time I went for a tasting menu. The reputation that Simpn Rogan's restaurant has is amongst the best in the world. Using foraged cumbrian ingredients, produce from his own organic farm and the best of local produce L'enclume has earned itself two Michelin stars (I'm not even sure you can get three without being a french restaurant!)I won't bore you with the details, but essentially it's 16 courses that'll allow you to sample everything from lobster to venison. Personally I even tried my first and last cockle!!! :)We stayed at L'Enclume house and had B&B at Rogan & Co. It wasn't cheap but it was epic!.My only criticism would be with the accomodation itself which was amazing except that I think the walls are made of papermache . You could hear everything in the two adjacent rooms.
Be the first to ReplyOne of the best dining experiences I will ever have.
The garden to table approach is just one of the reasons this place blows you away with its attention to detail and amazing food. The wine pairings were the most complementary example I have experienced and the staff defined professionalism. Amazing. Probably the best restaurant in the UK right now.
Be the first to ReplyWhile some may find eclectic presentation kitschy, I love
While some may find eclectic presentation kitschy, I love food that is assembled with thought and care, especially when it not only looks amazing but tastes delicious as well.As it was an Easter weekend, we booked 2 weeks in advance, but could only score lunch reservations. This was okay because it was a 4 hour course and it was much easier to find our way out of Cartmel while it was still light out.We parked at the racecourse track parking lot and arrived at the unassuming restaurant with our appetites ready. Seated near the kitchen, we were asked if we wanted a 6 course meal (45 quid) or a 21 course meal (120 quid), which changes every day Since a trip to the Lake District is rare, we decided to go with the 21 course. Upon seeing the bf's intimidated expression, our waiter reassured him that the portions were not huge but reasonably portioned.Ready? Go!Appetizers:1. Oyster pebbles (macaron textured oyster fluids, so yummy)2. Chicken dumplings (savory dumpling served on a little tree trunk)3. Ragstone, malt, tarragon4. Smoked eel with ham fat (creamy and savory)5. Cow's heel, curds, onion ashes6. Raw scallop and caviar (delicate and light)7. Asparagus and crab sack8. Creamed potatoes, Tunworth and duck gizzardsSlighty larger, mains:9. White turnip, maran egg, nasturtium leaves10. Valley venison, charcoal oil, mustard and fennel (served with little glass balls of sweet liquid)11. Glazed langoustine, carrot, watercress, raw langoustine, scurvy grass, hazelnuts (langoustine cracker served with a langoustine broth)12. Salt baked beetroot, ox tongue, yoghurt and apple marigold (freeze dried beetroot served with cubes of beet)13. Brill grilled over spruce, mussel, salsify and sea vegetables14. Holker milk fed lamb, sweetbreads, kales, and ramson (this was my favorite main)Palate cleansers and desserts:15. Rye, stout and gingerbread16. Sea buckthorn and butternut17. Caramel, sheep's milk, celery18. Yorkshire rhubarb, apple, sorrel, and brown butter19. Yoghurt, pear walnuts and sweet cicely20. Celeriac, sweet cheese, malts (little cones served with scooping of each ingredient)21. Douglas fir and apple (apple juice)The BF and I loved this meal because it encompassed so many different vegetables and meat, but it didn't leave us disgustingly full. Apparently the restaurant gets its ingredients from its farm, and everything tasted fresh and clean. Service was great, and we were well looked after.
