This March, Simon Rogan and his team at Rogan & Co will celebrate 18 years at the heart of Cartmel with a special week of cooking that looks back on the people, plates and moments that have shaped the restaurant since it opened in 2008.
Running from Tuesday 3 March to Saturday 7 March, the Michelin-starred neighbourhood restaurant will host All Stars Week, presenting a dedicated All Stars Menu made up of much-loved dishes drawn from the past 18 years. The full menu will be available at lunch and dinner, priced at £125 per person, alongside a shorter lunchtime version offered from Wednesday to Saturday at £75 per person.
The week will be led by Simon Rogan MBE alongside Rogan & Co head chef Tom Reeves, reflecting on the restaurant’s evolution over nearly two decades and its enduring role within the local community.
Adding to the sense of occasion, a number of familiar faces from Rogan & Co’s past will return to take part, with former head chefs, long-standing team members and front-of-house alumni making surprise appearances throughout the week. These include Tom Barnes, chef-owner of Skof, Liam Fitzpatrick, head chef at Our Farm, and Sam Nash, E-Commerce & Event Partnerships executive chef, among others.
Each dish on the All Stars Menu has been chosen not only for its flavour, but for the story behind it. Alongside the food, guests will be invited to discover the memories and moments connected to each plate, offering a deeper insight into how Rogan & Co’s cooking has developed over the last 18 years.
Together, All Stars Week offers a rare opportunity to revisit defining dishes and reconnect with the people who have influenced the restaurant’s journey—celebrating eighteen years at the heart of Cartmel.

Simon Rogan MBE said: “From the very beginning, Rogan & Co has been about celebrating the farmers, food producers, artisans and craftspeople we work with, and the wider local community around us. It’s a neighbourhood restaurant in the truest sense, set beside the River Eea, in the heart of Cartmel, in a beautiful 14th-century cottage that feels welcoming, homely and reassuringly informal.”
“Community has always been at the centre of everything we do, and that’s why it works. That includes the people we collaborate with, the team members who have been part of the journey over the last 18 years, and the guests who return time and again to dine with us. Most importantly, this celebration is about every single person, past and present, who has played their part in making Rogan & Co the special place it is today. We’re incredibly proud of what’s been achieved, and excited to be able to share these celebrations with you all.”
