L'enclume - Restaurant Review

We ventured here for our anniversary and opted for the six course option. Each individual course packed so much flavour and the tastes were truly exquisite, ordinary ingredients like carrots were transformed by Simon's team.

The premise of not being able to choose what you want is unusual, and some courses I may not have personally picked myself, but when they arrived each was outstanding. The menu was very seasonal, using the freshest ingredients around at the time, I particularly enjoy rich earthy flavours such as venison and celeriac, it would be worth thinking about that before booking as this will heavily influence your menu choices.


We booked in advance and they were happily able to cater for one of us who couldn't eat fish or shellfish. The members of staff were very friendly and attentive and really engaged with the mystery and excitement of each course.


Simon's team take you on a culinary journey throughout their menu and is a truly unique experience. I believe he is doing something incredibly different right now, and wish him every success in his other restaurants.

We will definately be returning as we were slightly envious of those enjoying the 22 course option!

Griddled Chicken and Bacon Salad

You can't beat the classics. This griddled chicken and streaky bacon salad with beetroot and avocado never fails to disappoint, I use a simple Mayo/Lemon Juice/Water dressing with dried parsely instead of a Caesar, but thats just preference!
