IN the latest episode of new BBC comedy series The Trip, food critics Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon visited another North West restaurant – this time L’Enclume in Cartmel.
Reading out a glowing review of chef Simon Rogan on the way, Brydon remarks that his ‘dishes that have left reporters mightily impressed by the tastes, textures and his extraordinary technical skill’.
So, I imagine chef Rogan was less than amused when Coogan whispered across the table, with all the sophistication of a schoolboy, that his appetiser of mallow leaves, whisky, ginger beer and chilli had the consistency of snot.
But the comments were soon forgotten after the pair’s impressions of their favourite Hollywood stars.
Michelin-starred food is supposed to push the boundaries and with presentation so creative if they’d kept their £180 bill secret, I would be there like a shot.
