I couldn't be happier with the news that L’Enclume has returned to the No.1 spot in the Good Food Guide.

It is a huge achievement which we have worked exceedingly hard towards, and I am very proud of my team who have made it possible.

This couldn’t have happened without the dedicated efforts of L’Enclume Head Chef, Paul Burgalieres, as well as Cartmel Executive Chef, Tom Barnes. Both give everything they have, day in day out, and inspire the entire team at L’Enclume to produce and serve extraordinary plates of food on a daily basis.

Restaurant Manager, Thomas Mercier has instilled an exceptional level of service and passion into running front of house, whilst Operations Director & Manager, Sam Ward as well as Pierre Brunelli MS, our Head Sommelier, have been integral in keeping the business running at an incredible pace and providing the team an environment in which to excel.

I am privileged to work alongside such talented individuals, and making the number one spot again has only fuelled our collective determination to get better and better.
