Heralded by the Good Food Guide as the ‘Best Farm to Table Restaurant’ experience 2024, A Day at Our Farm is set to make a welcome return on selected days from June to September. Providing guests with the perfect opportunity to embark on this unique dining experience and discover the secrets of Our Farm where all manner of produce is cultivated and nurtured for use in Simon Rogan’s Lake District restaurants L’Enclume, Rogan & Co, Henrock at Linthwaite House, Aulis Cartmel and Aulis London.
This year, we’ve decided to offer guests two slightly different experiences:
The first held on Monday’s, A Day at the Farm + Stay, provides the opportunity for guests to stay the night, and spend time discovering the foodie delights of Cartmel and the surrounding area after their farm tour and al fresco feast.
Dates for A Day at the Farm + Stay are as follows:
03rd June / 08th July / 15th July / 22nd July / 29th July / 05th August / 12th August / 19th August / September 09th
Priced at £500 for two people, A Day at the Farm + Stay experience begins with a pre-dinner farm tour with Our Farm Manager John Rowland and Our Farm Head Chef Liam Fitzpatrick.
Snacks are served at strategic places, with each bite made from seasonal produce harvested from the individual beds being highlighted along the way. The team will share anecdotes of day-to-day growing, their knowledge of no-dig farming and illustrate the group’s sustainable growing practices.
Guests will then take a seat at one of two handmade long tables and share a feast cooked and served by Liam and his team. Using the very best of what’s available only metres from the dining table, including dishes cooked over an open fire.
After dinner guests are free to return to Cartmel and explore the foodie delights the village has to offer, including Unsworth’s Yard and the Sticky Toffee Pudding Shop. After which they can rest and relax in the comfortable surroundings of one of our village rooms, waking refreshed the next morning ready to tuck into one of our bespoke breakfast boxes, before departing for home.

The second experience, A Day on the Farm, is available on selected Tuesday’s, from June to September, running from late morning through to late afternoon. It’s the perfect day time experience for those that don’t wish to stay.
