Three Simon Rogan Restaurants in SquareMeal's UK Top 100

We’re incredibly proud to share that three of Simon Rogan’s Northwest restaurants, part of the Umbel Restaurant Group, have been recognised in SquareMeal’s UK Top 100 Restaurants for 2026.

Skof in Manchester, led by chef Tom Barnes, achieved an outstanding No.2 position. Our flagship Lake District restaurant, L’Enclume, overseen by executive chef Paul Burgalières and head chef Alex Rothnie, secured No. 5. Henrock at Linthwaite House, with head chef Mark McCabe, earned a place at No. 94.

SquareMeal’s UK Top 100 celebrates exceptional regional dining outside of London, combining thousands of reader votes with expert insights from critics. Restaurants are assessed across food, service, sustainability and working culture - values that sit at the heart of everything we do.

Our London restaurant, Aulis London, also performed exceptionally, ranking No.9 in SquareMeal's London list.

Huge congratulations to Tom, Paul, Alex, Mark and every member of the teams who continue to make these restaurants truly special.
