Simon Rogan is recognised as one of the pioneers of the farm-to-table movement, building an internationally renowned reputation. In 2002, Simon opened his debut restaurant, L’Enclume in The Lake District village of Cartmel, with a focus on hyperlocal and seasonal ingredients. The restaurant currently holds three Michelin stars, five AA Rosettes and joint number one position in La Liste. Since founding L’Enclume over 20 years ago, Simon has built his own sustainably-operated farm, known as Our Farm, and is now chef patron of ten award-winning restaurants across London, The Lake District, Malta, Thailand and Hong Kong.

In 2021, Simon’s efforts towards sustainability were recognised with the Michelin Green Star, awarded to both L’Enclume and Roganic Hong Kong, making him one of very few chefs to hold this prestigious award across two continents.
