We are excited to reveal that internationally acclaimed Lake District based chef, Simon Rogan, working alongside his executive chef Tom Barnes, has developed a new dining concept so that Wheelwrights’ guests can enjoy a little of what Cartmel has to offer during you stay with us.
The new concept called Simon Rogan at home, is a delicious three course weekly changing seasonal menu available to Wheelwrights’ guests on both Friday and Saturday.
Crafted by L’Enclume and Rogan & Co chefs, each menu uses only the freshest restaurant quality seasonal ingredients from their farm, Simon’s own 12-acre farm just outside Cartmel, and carefully selected ingredients from trusted local suppliers.
Everything you need to create a stunning three course Simon Rogan at home menu has been provided. All you need to do to prepare your meal is download their short video, follow the step by step instructions and plate up each dish.
And if you fancy making a real occasion of it, they have even provided some insider tips to help you achieve a restaurant style finish to wow your diners…
Handily you can enjoy a specially curated mini wine flight too, created by their sommelier team, who have carefully selected wines from their cellars to sit perfectly alongside your meal. They also have a range of other drinks available too, including their own exclusive Exton Park sparkling rose, perfect for celebrating those special occasions.
So, why not set the tone for your break away in the Lake District this year and treat yourself to a Simon Rogan at home menu.

There are hundreds of Lake District fells and hidden gems to discover from waterfalls to caves, summiting a mountain and seeing some of the best panoramic views the world has to offer. However, it can be a bit daunting, especially if you have bags of enthusiasm but really don’t know where to start. So we have teamed up with Steve Watts, of Lakeland Walks & Talks, with over thirty years’ experience of walking and running in the Lakes. He loves nothing more than to share his passion and knowledge of the local area with others.
On the day Steve will meet you at your holiday home (or location to be agreed) and after a short briefing you will begin your journey to discover the real Lake District. Walks can be tailored to suit all abilities, from easy to moderate routes along the shores of stunning lakes and low-level terraces through to the more adventurous summits of Fairfield, Helvellyn, Catbells and more…
For more information about individual, family, group or school bookings, please contact Steve on 07791 090777 (www.lakelandwalksandtalks.com)
