In the early days L’Enclume did seem rather cold and unwelcoming and expensive. I remember when we had a family meal there my mother saying in a loud voice that it was pretentious rubbish. When L’Enclume was awarded a Michelin Star all the locals were proud of the fact, but they had been there once and didn’t see why they should bother again. I like Simon – we even discussed, briefly, going into business together when I was trying to buy Miller Howe.
Last year Simon opened a bistro just round the corner from L’Enclume called Rogans. It’s excellent, definitely one of my top three places to go for a meal and yes, the locals do go there. The other two, in case you’re wondering are Gilpin Lodge and The Punch Bowl, Crosthwaite.
