Chef Simon Rogan’s critically acclaimed L’Enclume has been named ‘most exciting’ restaurant at The Good Food Guide awards. The Lake District restaurant secured the top spot, having first appeared in the 2004 edition.
Birmingham was also crowned the ‘most exciting food destination’, whilst three venues were awarded the ‘world class’ accolade, including Lancashire’s Moor Hall in Aughton. The list was selected by The Good Food Guide’s independent, impartial inspectors and the winners were announced at a ceremony at The Groucho Club in London.
Elizabeth Carter said of the restaurant: ‘L’Enclume has matured but has not aged. They are all about experience and commitment, with a young team bringing in fresh ideas, rather than Simon imposing his vision.
