Henrock

After doing some research and reading up on blogs, I booked Henrock for my husband and I to celebrate an anniversary and birthday. We were warmly greeted into the restaurant and sat at the table with a stunning view of the beautiful gardens. The lunch menu included starters, mains, dessert and a sweet. The starters were innovative and full of flavour. For mains we opted for the cod and lamb shoulder which were both delicious especially the cod which was cooked to perfection. The restaurant also arranged a surprise for the special occasion which was a lovely gesture. I highly recommend Henrock and the lunch menu covers a wide variety of dishes and is great value. The service was excellent we were looked after well by Matthew the waiter who was welcoming, funny and attentive. Each dish was explained well when brought out. You can also take a relaxing walk around the gardens and pond after lunch. I have already recommended the restaurant to friends and family. Henrock truly exceeded expectations 10/10 would definitely come back again.

From the moment we stepped into Henrock, we knew we were in for something extraordinary. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between modern sophistication and the natural warmth of the Lake District surroundings. Every detail, from the service to the plating, reflected the care and precision you expect from a Michelin-starred experience. Each course was a masterclass in flavor and presentation. The ingredients were clearly seasonal and sourced with care, but it was the creativity in the pairings and techniques that truly stood out. Every bite felt deliberate and balanced, yet never pretentious. The wine pairings were also spot-on, enhancing the dishes without overshadowing them. Service was professional yet warm, with the team striking that rare balance of attentiveness without intrusion. The pacing of the meal was flawless, allowing us to enjoy each course without ever feeling rushed. Henrock isn’t just a meal. It’s an experience. Whether you’re a seasoned fine-diner or someone exploring their first Michelin-starred spot, this is a destination worth traveling for. We’ll absolutely be back.

Loved it all. The food, the service, the vibes of the beautiful grounds that overlook the lake. We were well attended to by Matthew and his team who clearly explained each Tasting Menu dish as it arrived. He was even so kind as to announce that the sun was setting and that best we went to the terraces for some photos to capture the moment. You could taste the Asian influences in the dishes for sure - sharp at points, tangy on others - and it puts a different spin on most other Western Tasting menus. The standout to me though has to be The Coal Fashioned, one of their new cocktails. Delicious. It goes well with the meal as the smoky palette complemented the dishes. Didn’t expect this, it was a nice surprise.

Edit, we retutned today for lunch. And it was so much better. We had cod, lamb, hen of the woods, with a variety of sides. It was all really good. Not sure why we had a poor experience on ourlast visit. The location is lovely, the atmosphere in the restaurant is pleasant, comfortable furniture, interesting wall art. The staff were very accomodating and polite. Sadly the food was a big let down. We had the Sunday roast. The ptotatoes were hard and dry. The meat was warm and quite tough. The broad beans had no flavor. The carrots were okay. The bread was good and the deserts quite flavourful. Sadly we will not return anytime soon. I think when chef's expand their empire, especially at the top end, it's very hard to replicate the food experience . Simon is dependant on his chef's to reproduce his recipes, sadly this is not the case here.

Stayed at Linthwaite house for our little mini moon, everything was exceptional, food at henrock was amazing our first fine dining experience 5 years ago! and we were looked after very well staff attentive, knowledgeable food was different innovative hope this place gets a Michellen star! Because they deserve it.

A delicious tasting menu, presented beautifully, accompanied by some good wines. We were a little nervous about returning to the restaurant after a disappointing afternoon tea with our parents when the place first opened, some years ago. However, we are now so pleased we returned. The tasting menu on New Year's Eve was excellent and admittedly beyond our expectations. Each course was well-executed, beautifully presented and served delightfully by attentive staff. We particularly enjoyed the Ox Cheek but all the courses were consistently good. The wine flight, although not as prestigious as at the chef's other restaurants, was nonetheless well selected, with some lovley examples of quality wine. We will be back to enjoy Simon Rogan's Henrock again in the future.

What a fantastic meal. Each dish was like a work of art, well thought out and tasted amazing. Our host was so friendly and attentive and took some lovely photos of us (we were celebrating our engagement). They also gave us an additional dessert for our engagement which was really kind. The restaurant is very tastefully decorated and the music is not loud so you can actually hear each other talking. The tables are nicely spaced so it does feel private and intimate. We opted for the tasting menu which was £95pp plus a bottle of the Portuguese Dao. The sourdough bread with miso butter was incredible but dangerous 🤣

This is a restaurant located in a 4-star hotel not far from Lake Windermere. The course menu priced at 95 pounds per person, the rich and excellent wine list(unique British wines that I had not experienced), simple yet detailed and carefully curated menu that is characteristic of boutique hotels, were all satisfactory. It was a rainy and stormy early December night, but the food, comfortable ambiance,and amazing detailed service here were something that I would remember for a long time. This restaurant, which was crowded even in this cold weather, was a catalyst for the experience of British fine dining. As a hotel guest, I had breakfast here the next morning. It was impressive to see the same but different English breakfast. The only flaw was that there was no fresh squeezed juice. But despite that, it is a place I would definitely come back to.
