Our Philosophy
As Umbel Restaurants has expanded internationally, it has aimed to adapt rather than replicate, bringing the same philosophy of sustainability, provenance and respect for place to each location. From the Lake District to London, Hong Kong, Thailand and Malta, every restaurant is shaped by its local climate, culture, produce and community, while maintaining a strong connection to farmers, growers, foragers and producers.
Across the group, close relationships with local suppliers ensure quality, traceability and a genuine understanding of ingredients from source to plate. Sustainability also extends to people and ideas, with a focus on supportive, inclusive teams and empowering staff at every level to innovate, reduce waste and continually improve.
Together, these principles allow each restaurant to have its own identity while sharing the same Umbel heartbeat.
UK Operations

Lake District
At the heart of the group is L’Enclume, Rogan’s three-Michelin-starred flagship, which is closely connected to Our Farm, where much of its hyper-seasonal produce is grown. The nearby Aulis Cartmel serves as both an experimental kitchen and an intimate six-seat dining experience, allowing guests to see the creative process behind L’Enclume’s dishes.
The wider Lake District portfolio also includes Rogan & Co, a more relaxed Michelin-starred neighbourhood restaurant in Cartmel, which applies Rogan’s seasonal, local and farm-led philosophy in a welcoming setting, and Henrock by Simon Rogan at Linthwaite House overlooking Windermere. Henrock combines the same emphasis on sustainability and seasonal produce with a more cosmopolitan influence drawn from Rogan’s international restaurants.
-
London
Hidden on St Anne’s Court in Soho, Aulis London is Simon Rogan’s intimate, Michelin-starred chef’s table. Led by executive chef Oli Marlow and head chef Charlie Tayler, the 12-seat chef's table presents a progressive tasting menu rooted in the rhythms of the seasons, reflecting Rogan’s signature farm-to-table cooking.
The London venue was awarded its first Michelin star in the 2024 Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland.
-
Our Farm
Our Farm is the foundation of Simon Rogan’s UK restaurant group. Established in 2011 just outside of Cartmel, it has grown into a biodynamic, closed-loop farm supplying seasonal produce across his restaurants.
Led by growers and chefs working together, the farm focuses on biodiversity, natural growing methods and zero-waste practices, with surplus produce preserved through fermentation, pickling and other techniques. It also offers A Day at Our Farm, combining a guided farm tour with a seasonal lunch showcasing the connection between the land and Rogan’s kitchens.

Manchester
Tom opened his first solo restaurant, Skof, in Manchester in May 2024. The restaurant offers two full-length tasting menus: 12 and 16 courses, at lunch and dinner and a 4-course lunch menu.
The restaurant was awarded a Michelin Star in February 2025. This announcement followed Skof taking home ‘Best New Restaurant’ at the Good Food Guide awards earlier this year, earning a place in SquareMeal's T100 for 2025; the highest new entry at number 8, and two awards at the Manchester Food and Drink Awards; Best Newcomer for Skof and Chef of the Year for Tom and latterly a nod in Conde Nast Traveler’s Top New Restaurants 2024. In June 2026 Skof placed at No. 29 in the NRA T100 list.
