Last year, after 20 years in business, L’Enclume was crowned Britain’s Most Exciting Restaurant of 2022 by The Good Food Guide. Simon Rogan’s mothership has frequently occupied the number one spot over the years, and while it impressed on inspection, a triumphant factor that sent it straight to the top of the Guide was the engine behind the restaurant: Our Farm.
With International Women’s Day on Friday 8th March, and to celebrate the restaurant’s 50th anniversary, where better to head this week than to Dartmouth and The Angel to chat with Elly Wentworth.
We talk to the man behind the food at London restaurants Kiln and Smoking Goat.
From chief potato-scraper for his mum to ruler of The Ritz’s famous kitchen, a life in food has made this chef ‘the luckiest man on earth’
Big tick for Jamie Oliver Catherine Street, the chef’s come-back restaurant in London’s theatre-land. A recent family visit hit the spot, because sometimes you’re not after discovering the next best culinary thing, or having your thoughts provoked or your tastebuds challenged; sometimes you just want a tasty dinner. Bonus points for the excellent service on our visit. We had tickets for Operation Mincemeat and under 90 minutes before curtain-up, but that didn’t faze any of the team.
