I accuse my weak inner ear fluid. my desire to visit L’Enclume was born by my visit to fera in claridges (which simon rogan recently announced the connections with) earlier in the year. in no case was the meal at fera bad. it felt more industrialized, which does not deprive the number of covers. cooking was polite and correct, but it lacked character. it was missing the soul. but since rogans eat so high is rated by both food authors and cook equally, I decided to make the long hike to cartmel to experience its first hand.

My man and I had a mini holiday in the lake district. I use much too many hair products as I had earned us enough points to buy Aveda products for two free nights in a wellness hotel on the windermeresee (probably not well-weighing and also I do not use that many, as it took me about ten years to collect points). it also included two free massages, so it seemed like a beautiful relaxing trip. we also found out that simon rogans restaurant L’Enclume is located in just a twenty-minute taxi ride, so we decided that if we were in the lake district, we should probably eat in the best restaurant there, right?
