Simon Rogan is an internationally renowned, award-winning chef, recognised as one of the pioneers of the farm-to-table movement. In 2002, Simon opened his first restaurant L’Enclume in Cartmel in The Lake District, with a focus on hyperlocal and seasonal ingredients, many of which are grown at Our Farm, Simon’s farm in the Cartmel Valley. L’Enclume currently holds two Michelin stars, and was named Good Food Guide’s #1 Restaurant 2017 for the fourth consecutive year and returned to the top spot in 2019.

Simon opened his second venture in Cartmel, Rogan & Co, in 2008 which won its first Michelin star in 2018. In 2016, Simon launched Aulis at L’Enclume, his first chef’s table and development kitchen. Aulis also arrived in London in October 2017 as a stand-alone dining destination, acting as the creative hub for Simon and his London team of chefs. Following this, Simon created Roganic, originally a pop-up but now a permanent restaurant in Marylebone’s Blandford Street which received its first Michelin star within one year of opening in 2018. Simon expanded to Hong Kong, opening Aulis in January 2019 and Roganic in February 2019. Roganic Hong Kong was awarded its first Michelin star in December 2019, making this the 6th Michelin star that the group has won since its conception. Simon’s restaurants currently hold 5 Michelin stars between them, making them one of very few restaurant groups to do so.
