Dinner before Christmas at the UK’s newest three Michelin star restaurant, @lenclume , up in Cartmel. I think that in all honesty L’enclume is now the only three star restaurant in the UK that I am eager to return to. Also, apart from the interesting and delicious food, the service was incredibly slick. Some of the best service I can remember having.
I also visited Aulis in London that week and it was interesting chatting to them about just how @rogan_simon Simon Rogan has built a small empire and managed to keep it going, even thriving through such difficult times. Basically I think that the slickness and attention to detail that I observed last week at L’enclume is mirrored in the way the business is run as a whole. Anyway, ramble over, highly recommended 👌🏻

A fantastic birthday dinner at @heft_high_newton a few weeks ago. We have visited a couple of times now and loved the cooking, service and the beautifully refurbished dining room. Also the bar menu is next level. Highly recommended and a great place to tie in with a trip to the lakes. Can’t wait to go back.
In their own words:
“Like the Herdwick, Kevin & Nicola Tickle are hefted' to Cumbria.
Nicola is from a family that have continuously farmed, the fells and valleys, of the Lake District since the 1600s. Kevin, also Cumbrian born, was taught by his father to forage and fish. He understands the rhythms of the lakes, becks, heaths and the sea.
They are of this landscape. Cumbria is their 'heft”

One of the highlights of last year for me was stumbling across @rileysfishshack just a short drive East from Newcastle. We got incredibly lucky with the weather for this time of year. It’s basically a shipping container, on a beach, which has a small kitchen with a wood fired oven and grill. The various catches of the day are cooked and served simply either inside by a log burner on a high table or outside over looking the beach. You can even grab one of the deckchairs and enjoy your meal sat on the sand in the sun. I can’t wait to go back.

Hen of the Woods

Dinner last March at the newly reopened Ledbury. Definitely a very welcome return of this London stalwart after such a long period of uncertainty.
It seems that they inevitably lost the majority of their kitchen brigade. So they had gone (I think) from a brigade of chefs that previously each had between 5 and 10 years experience working with Brett Graham, to essentially a completely new brigade headed by Tom Spenceley formerly of the excellent ⭐️⭐️ Kitchen Table. As expected, the provenance of the ingredients was excellent, from the start, amongst the snacks a pig from Coombeshead Farm to the Cornish crab, to mushrooms grown on the premises to of course the highlight of Brett’s own Sika deer served several ways.
All excellent but I couldn’t help thinking that there was still a little tweaking to do (done and done judging from recent reports👌🏻) I’d love to, and hopefully will, return in 6 months to see where they are at. Long live The Ledbury.

Lunch earlier last year at ⭐️ @pollen_street_social in London. @_jasonatherton , @dale_bainbridge_ and the team certainly seem to have upped their game since my first visit a few years ago (which was also great). The cooking is at a two star level in my opinion and I wouldn’t be surprised if they gained that second star in the next guide Michelin. Well worth visiting while in London.

Another excellent meal earlier this year at @ikoyi_london ,with excellent company @gastro1 .It’s been nearly 6 years since my first visit to Ikoyi where we terrorised @jeremychanikoyi by turning up with the likes of Gerhard Huber, Margaret Lam , Robert Driscoll and a host of other foodies to enjoy what was a superb lunch during the @oadtop100 week back then. It’s been fantastic to watch the restaurant evolve over those few years and to be rightfully awarded a second Michelin star this year (22’) I’m glad that Michelin are finally starting to recognise delicious food (Ikoyi, Ynyshir, Pine etc) rather than seemingly fixating on white table clothes, snooty soms and whether or not the table was de-crumbed before your pudding.
Jeremy and the team have now moved to a larger site where I’m sure they will be able to truly express themselves without the restrictions of such a small dining room and kitchen. To get two stars out of that tiny kitchen was truly amazing.

Dinner a while back at the excellent @launcestonplace Launceston Place, where chef Ben Murphy @benmurphychef is producing some very tasty food indeed. Highly recommended and a very good option for a Sunday evening when a lot of restaurants are closed.

- Neil A. Chef added a new meal Dinner at The Araki - あら輝 at Araki
Another visit earlier this year (‘22) to @the_araki_london . Why this restaurant hasn’t had at the absolute minimum one Michelin star reinstated I really have no idea. For me it’s one of the best sushi restaurants in London.
