"L’Enclume’s laid-back cousin sits in the centre of the village and occupies a pretty cottage beside a stream, with dark wood beams and welcoming open fires. Simon Rogan’s influence is clear to see on the menu, which lists skilfully prepared, understated dishes that make great use of creative ingredient and flavour combinations. The clean, uncomplicated approach keeps the focus firmly on each main ingredient, with exceptional produce coming from Simon's Our Farm development in the Cartmel Valley, or carefully sourced from trusted Lake District suppliers." - Michelin Inspector

"A more relaxed, all-day dining outpost in the chef’s portfolio that offers an à la carte menu focused on accessible but elevated dishes; it has been awarded one Michelin star and serves as a more casual complement to the chef’s tasting-menu flagship." - Katherine LaGrave
"Faced with growing competition, Simon Rogan opened Rogan & Co. in Cartmel as a more relaxed version of his flagship, offering entrées in the $33–$39 range to complement the haute tasting experience at his other venues." - Monisha Rajesh Monisha Rajesh Monisha Rajesh is a London-based travel journalist and author whose work has appeared in publications like Time and Vanity Fair.

"That same farm-to-table sensibility surfaces in Cartmel, where produce from the local landscape and the team behind the stoves and front of house share the spotlight with elegant, produce-driven plates." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

"This informal little sister to L’Enclume is situated just around the corner in the same pretty village. It is housed within a whitewashed cottage set next to a tranquil river, and its open-plan, low-beamed interior feels cosy and stylish in equal measure. The appealing menu has all the Simon Rogan hallmarks, listing exceptional Cumbrian produce alongside many ingredients harvested in prime condition from their own farm in the Cartmel Valley. The skilfully prepared yet unfussy dishes keep their emphasis firmly on the main ingredient, and flavours are harmonious and understated. Don’t miss the full-flavoured aged short rib of beef or the Lakeland-influenced caramelised gingerbread. Staff are super-friendly with a relaxed, chatty style." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
