Michelin-starred chef Simon Rogan is set to open a new restaurant later this year.

Henrock, at country house hotel Linthwaite House at Windermere, will open in October.

The name derives from a rocky outcrop on the lake, known as Hen Rock, which is often visible from the terrace of Linthwaite House.

Henrock’s kitchen team will be led by head chef Brian Limoges, who joins Simon from San Francisco after working in renowned restaurants such as Quince, Birdsong, and Atelier Crenn.

Working together, they will use local produce with items from Simon’s own farm in Cumbria.

However, in a step away from Simon’s other restaurants, L’Enclume, Roganic, Aulis and Rogan & Co, where the focus is deeply rooted in British cooking and ingredients, Henrock will also lean heavily on influences, techniques and produce discovered on the chefs’ travels around the globe, including from Asia, where Simon has recently opened Roganic and Aulis in Hong Kong.

The menu will comprise of small plates and sharing dishes, with signatures set to include.

Overseeing operations will be Nicolas Perdrier who began his career at Linthwaite House before spending time working for Simon as assistant manager at L’Enclume and exploring projects elsewhere in the UK.

Simon said: "Since opening L’Enclume in 2002, it’s been a hugely exciting and humbling journey. Today, we have five UK restaurants holding four Michelin stars among them and have recently opened Roganic and Aulis Hong Kong.

"It feels like the right time to be strengthening our offering in the north of the UK, a place we call home, with a fantastic team in place and in such a truly unique and stunning setting.”

Linthwaite House was taken over by the South African-based hotel group Leeu Collection in 2016 and reopened in 2018 after a complete refurbishment.

Leeu Collection founder Analjit Singh, said: "We share many similar values and, I feel by aligning our brands, we can elevate the experience at Linthwaite House to a unique level."
