Nestled in picturesque Cartmel, this upscale fine dining gem serves innovative, locally sourced dishes crafted by Michelin-starred chef Simon Rogan.
"A leading example of farm-to-table cooking in the UK." - Andrew Young
"Valentin Mouillard from L’Enclume in Cartmel has been awarded the Michelin Sommelier Award. Known for his engaging character and succinct wine service, he has curated a wine list that mixes big names and lesser-known options." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"The Trip follows comedian Steve Coogan on a newspaper assignment to review some of northern England’s best restaurants. For the trip he brings along fellow comedian Rob Brydon, and off they drive to feast at restaurants like L’Enclume, Holbeck Ghyll, and the Inn at Whitewell." - Eater Staff
"Few restaurants have closer ties to their region than L’Enclume and the Lake District. The cooking in this lovely old smithy has never stopped evolving and a palpable energy emanates from the kitchen. Signature dishes have been reworked and refined, while stunning new creations have slotted seamlessly into the tasting menu. Simon Rogan's ever-expanding farm produces much of the superb produce on display, while the enthusiasm and pride of the service team further enhance the experience. Complete your visit with a stay in one of the bedrooms spread about the village." - Michelin Inspector
"In the two decades since he visited Cartmel, Rogan himself has been responsible for much of the town’s transformation, drawing travelers from all around the world to this corner of England for opening L’Enclume, which in 2022 became the first restaurant in northern England to win three Michelin stars—ever. (It retained three Michelin stars in 2023.)" - Katherine LaGrave
