Rogan & Co.

Simon Rogan is the owner of award-laden L’Enclume, and Rogan & Co. is his more casual restaurant, just around the corner in the medieval village of Cartmel. It was awarded its first Michelin star in 2018.

The menu sees the region’s finest ingredients served with confidence, in true Rogan style. Typical dishes include confit leek with a soft poached egg, nasturtium, and mackerel parfait. Or venison with beetroot and chicory from Rogan’s farm.

There could be local pork and regional hispi cabbage combined with kale and pickled walnut, while picture perfect puds could include tonka bean ice cream with miso butterscotch, caramelised caramel tart (not a typo), and a local cheeseboard.

Wood and oat shades, blackened beams and sturdy furniture complete the cosy picture. The restaurant currently holds 3 Rosettes in the AA Guide.
