The Trip episode 2 review: L’Enclume

Could The Trip be up there with the very best of Steve Coogan? Mark is slowly warming to that point of view...

2. L’Enclume

It’s hard to judge a series after just two episodes, but going on the strength of what we’re seen so far, The Trip has the potential to be one of Coogan’s best pieces of work. Rob Brydon obviously shouldn’t be ignored for his role in all of this, but considering Coogan’s long line of TV successes, it’s testament to the quality of the two episodes aired thus far that I can honestly mention this in the same breath as Saxondale and Partridge . It really is that good.

L’Enclume followed almost exactly the same pattern as the series opener, and I can only presume that the entire series will continue in this way. Coogan and Brydon turn up to another restaurant, eat some food, do lots of impressions, have a bit of competitive banter and turn in for the night. Can an entire series sustain such a format? Time will tell, but much will depend on the improvisational skills of the show’s genius double act and I’ve seen nothing to suggest that they can’t keep this up for another four episodes.

Last week I called for fewer impressions, something a few of you posted I was wrong to question. Well, this episode brought yet more of the same, from Bond to Ray Winstone, and for whatever reason, it worked for me this week. Again, I wonder whether the series will suffer if this is all we’re going to get by episode six, but last night got it just right. The Ray Winstone bit, in particular, was a sublime piece of comedic banter, the pair comparing their impressions over a bowl of snot. “I want the money next Wednesday, but before that you’re gonna drink a goblet of my sputum.” Brilliant.

Other choice conversations of the night included the typically British way of being ultra polite, despite reservations about the food (Brydon’s chastising of the sputum-inspired food one minute, then saying it was lovely to the waiter the next was very good), and confusions over a French waiter’s very strong accent. It all sounds very dull on paper, but watching the pair at work was a joy once more and the series is proving that you can achieve an awful lot with very little. Like spending an evening with your mate who makes you laugh, this works on a very simple, but very effective level.

It is more apparent watching this episode that the competition between the pair of actors will play a vital role throughout the series, as both ramped up their impressions and general acting skills to fine aplomb across the table. Egos are a well-worn subject where actors are concerned and it’s brilliantly played on here. Brydon’s obvious delight at nailing a Bond line (“Come, come, Mr Bond. You get just as much pleasure from killing as I do. Fucking yeah!”) had me in stitches.

Yet, it’s the moments away from the dinner table that hold most intrigue for how the show may progress. An opening dream sequence of Coogan in America, talking with Ben Stiller about how all Hollywood’s finest want to work with him, was a simply genius way to continue Coogan’s career plotline. Touched on again at the show’s end, this is presumably a recurring point for the series to return to.

The journey to the restaurant harked back to Partridge once more as the pair sang Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights , which has also appeared on Partridge , of course. Then there is Coogan’s fractured, teetering relationship with girlfriend, Mischa, first punctured from his work on Anglo-Polish relations, and then upset further by his continuing insecurity about whether Mischa will leave him. The phone conversations Coogan has reveal a tortured, anxious soul and lend the show some touching moments.

These were most apparent during the episode’s closing minutes, though, as a lilting piano juxtaposed Brydon’s secure, happy relationship with his wife and Coogan’s obsession with furthering his career in the US. As with last week’s instalment, this mixture of two mindsets was well done and made me hanker for the next episode, as much as I wanted to eat the food they were downing, there and then.

That’s the only problem with the show: the shots of food make me very hungry.

L'Enclume

Ratings and reviews, location and contact, michelin guide's point of view.

I want to go to L’enclume but time dictates I have to wait for this adventure. So we tried the London outpost of Mr Rogan’s empire on a Friday lunchtime, the room took me back to dining at my parents house many years ago and... I am sure I chucked out similar furniture into a skip after they had died. Thankfully the food was far from being on its last legs and the service was relaxed, semi-casual and unstuffy. To the grub...short tasting menu decided upon we inevitably ended up with the full blow out, leek and potato soup with caviar and garlic delicious, truffle pudding too small! (This was gooood), chicken liver parfait on crisp skin was superb and I could have stuffed my gob with this all day, soda bread that looks like a cake excellent, trout beautifully cooked, so was it all 10/10? No, the artichoke dish was nice but not as good as the other snacks, the venison was good but the sauce too heavy and rich at the end of 9 previous dishes, the Yorkshire rhubarb was very nice, the apple tart alright with lovely woodruff ice cream. Overall we had an excellent meal and would recommend this place very highly. If I could score 4.5/5 I would as a couple of dishes were not 100% to my taste and although nostalgic the decor is not really my cup of tea, but on the basis of rounding up and not down its a 5. Should you try this place? Oh yes, with no doubt you will be gushing. More

An exceptional visit to L’Enclume. From the start it’s a taste sensation; incredible flavours and some absolutely astonishing food. Stuff you think you’ll hate just tastes gorgeous. Everything is compact but the flavours are huge, really exciting things like the smoked eels, the broths and... the scallop was the best I’ve ever had. The only thing I didn’t finish was the duck heart. The duck breast that followed was sublime in an amazing sauce. The staff are incredible. I’ve never seen such a slick operation, they’re constantly buzzing about clearing wine glasses, refilling water etc. Truly special food and all staff members really know their stuff; the sommelier especially. All happy to chat to you and answer your questions too. I’ve eaten at some incredible restaurants around the world but this surpassed them all for service and efficiency. Some people had a cheese board after which looked amazing but we were way too full to contemplate it! I like that the place doesn’t feel snooty and high brow. It’s very much a homely, country cottage feel which is nice and relaxed. You dress smart but hardly need a full suit and tie. In summary - amazing food and incredible staff. The bill came to £550 for two people for the taster menu plus taster wine flight and a glass of fizz on arrival. More

the trip l'enclume

Visited for lunch at the end of our break in the lakes, went in with very high expectations obviously and overall it loved up to those expectations and then some. I'll get the negatives out of the way first, blimey it's a noisy environment which... made hearing what our servers said extremely difficult due to the fact they were wearing face masks due to covid restrictions applicable at the time of writing. I honestly couldn't hear most of what was said by some people but my hearing isn't brilliant and I suffer from tinnitus but having said that my wife agreed it was difficult to hear what was said at times. Apart from that though the whole experience was exceptional. We were greeted at the door and immediately put at ease with some casual chat and banter. Showed to our table in what was a very busy restaurant with every other table occupied and the atmosphere was buzzing and relaxed. What followed was a gastronomic experience you simply have to experience at least once. We had a 9 course lunch menu , we didn't have the wine tour as I had a 3 hour drive home afterwards and my wife was happy to have a few glasses of English sparkling wine which having tasted I can confirm was very very nice indeed (good job really at £14 a glass). The food was sensational, yes the portion sizes are small there's no denying that but each dish was exceptional in terms of presentation and taste. Our water was constantly topped up, there were a lot of people attending to the tables , must have been 15 of them scurrying around making sure everyone was perfectly looked after. The only disappointment as far as the food was concerned was the sourdough bread which I thought was rather tough and chewy but I'm nitpicking , but then again this is a 2 Michelin star restaurant so I think I'm entitled to nitpick. We left just over 3 hrs after being seated with very fond memories of an amazing experience and exquisite food cooked by chefs at the top of their game. It's interesting to compare l'enclume to our local Michelin star restaurant Winteringham fields. They have a completely different atmosphere with l'enclume being far more relaxed and a LOT noisier (you can hear a pin drop in Winteringham fields). I think the portion sizes are slightly bigger at Winteringham fields especially when it comes to the main but it's impossible to choose between them when it comes to the quality of the food. Wonderful restaurant, can't wait to visit again when we next visit the lakes, hopefully for dinner next time. More

the trip l'enclume

Not only is the cooking perfect, the originality of the dishes is exceptional. Most recipes are vegetable-centred though meat and fish are included. The seasoning is strong and may be too salty for some palates but not for us. We had the 16 course tasting... menu. Eech dish was a perfect miniature of a full meal. Very unusual but absolutely delicious dishes such as seaweed custard, lamb sweetbread in ransom honey, Turbot with anise hyssop, gooseberries with sweet cicely. Every chef says they use the best ingredient but Simon Rogan REALLY means it. Almost all the food comes from his own farm a mile away from the restaurant. We were shown round the farm the next day. Every chef has to work on the farm for a month before they start in the kitchen! Do any other Michelin starred restaurants go this far in celebrating ingredients? The environmental impact of the farm and the restaurant is taken very seriously as well. We went for the expensive flight of wine which was well worth it. Each wine was outstanding. We tried to buy some of the wines on the internet after but none seemed to be available. So the wines are rare as well as delicious. The service was excellent friendly but not too much. The speed of service was perfect. The dinner took 3 1/2 hours which felt just right for 16 courses. The restaurant has about 40 covers and was in a well lit rustic room with original oak beams - nothing fake. Everything had been thought out very carefully, the glasses, cutlery and plates. The design of all the tableware fitted together in a wonderful way. We stayed the night. The restaurant has a number of rooms dotted around the village, indeed much of the village has been taken over by L'Enclume! Our room was huge, sumptuously decorated with a large bathroom. Breakfast was a full English in the sister restaurant 50 yards from L'Enclume itself and was excellent and not too large. So L'Enclume give the full package. Its grows the food including all the really unusual vegetables and herbs, cooks it perfectly in delicious completely original recipes, serves it in a relaxed but unobtrusively sophisticated way, serves outstanding rare wines, puts you up in a wonderful bedroom and serves a delicious breakfast in a beautiful village. We are slowing going to all the 2 star restaurants in the UK. We are about half way through but L'Enclume has to be one if of the very best. PS Don't look at the bill. It will upset you! More

We had a fabulous meal at L’Enclume celebrating my husband’s 50th birthday. Service was outstanding and the 15 course tasting menu amazing, the standout star for me being the scallops with king oyster & lemon thyme. There was an additional duck course not listed in... the menu which I found a bit heavy at that stage. I highly recommend both the restaurant and the tasting menu but would give the soft drink flight a miss - the non alcoholic gin & green tea options did not work for me. The little touches to acknowledge my husband’s birthday we’re much appreciated and we both loved every minute - big thank you to everyone. More

the trip l'enclume

To celebrate restaurants reopening after Covid Lockdown we were fortunate to secure a room and table at L'Enclume on a Sunday evening, all other dates being sold out. When the confirmation came through we were delighted to find we were dining at Aulis (much more... later). Covid precautions were taken seriously with check in at a distance, room scrupulously clean and contactless checkout. The room is not huge but nicely furnished and comfortable. En Suite has modern shower. WiFi worked well. Cost of room is high by local standards but does guarantee a dinner reservation at L'Enclume. We researched Aulis prior to our visit. It is a "chef's table" seating six in a separate building to the main restaurant. The room itself is quite plain and functional, which is as it should be for the main focus is the food. With Covid restrictions we expected the seating to be reduced from six to four to allow for two couples, but on arrival we found it was just the two of us. So fifteen courses if Michelin Two Star food prepared in front of us with carefully chosen wines served by a knowledgeable sommelier. The chef, Scott, engaged us in conversation throughout. He was passionate about the ingredients and showed them great respect as he produced plate after plate of exquisite dishes. Although one sees dishes of such a high standard on TV shows to smell and taste them adds a whole new dimension to the experience. The menu evolves constantly so I won't attempt to describe the dishes other than to say they were at the same time simple and sophisticated. As to the service we effectively had a personal chef and wine waiter all through the three and a half hours of the meal which made for a "once in a lifetime" experience. I really can't commend the staff highly enough. Breakfast was at Rogan & Co and again was an absolute treat. Parking is normally at the nearby racecourse (see an earlier review warning about parking fine) but as it happened we arrived on race-day so we were lucky to find a parking space in the village. Clearly such a top rate experience is never going to be cheap but as a vey special one off experience was (almost) priceless and so, strangely, seemed to be good value. If you get the chance to enjoy Aulis I would suggest taking it before someone else does. More

Visited as a family of four for a birthday treat. We’d already researched parking so headed straight for the racecourse when we arrived but be aware there are different entrances. You need to head for the one in the middle of the village rather than... the main entrance around half a mile away. It was £6 for 24 hours parking. Cash (coins) needed. We had the 15 course tasting menu with one having the accompanying wine flight and three having the soft drinks flight. The service from the young front of house team was fabulous from start to finish. Although necessary, at times it was difficult to hear their detailed descriptions of the food and drink through their face coverings and above the general noise of the restaurant. The food was mostly superb with just a small number of dishes not tempting us enough to clear our plates. With 15 courses though it’s understandable that there will be some that just don’t appeal to an individual’s palette. Our eldest daughter is vegan and they accommodated her without fuss, adapting each dish to ensure she still received a full L’Enclume experience. She was the only one who finished every last morsel and has even become a mushroom convert, which is high praise indeed. Highlights from the standard tasting menu were the turbot and scallop with carrot. We were slightly disappointed with the drink flights, with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic having too many niche and peculiar flavours. If there is a next time we will be sticking to a favourite bottle of wine and juices instead. We willingly pay for quality, high-end food, drink and hotel experiences but we left with a slight question over whether this particular experience had been value for money. More

We stayed overnight in a room with no windows to look out of but double doors opening on to a small courtyard that we had to keep the curtains closed for privacy. The bed was very modern and equally very uncomfortable. The room was beautiful... and the bathroom was lovely. When we booked we where told we could not arrive until 4pm and because the restaurant had to close at ten the evening meal had to start at 530 pm. We were expecting a relaxing meal that took the night to consume but instead the food came that fast we didn’t have time to drink the wine flight between courses. We felt rushed from start to 8pm finish. I don’t understand why we had to sit at 530pm to be finished by 8pm, we could see the kitchen from where we sat they could have used a catapult and cut out the middle man. We have been looking forward to this experience for a long time but I don’t feel I got what I paid £900 for. Just to be clear the food was magnificent and the room was nice but it was not a relaxing night and at 8pm finding myself in the local pub was not the plan. More

the trip l'enclume

Yes, a meal from L’Enclume during lockdown. We live locally and used the Taste of L’Enclume to have a food delivery at our home near Kendal. We also opted to enhance the experience by having the wine pairings. It made for a wonderful evening, all... the menu planning taken away and we became Michelin starred chefs for an evening. It was amazing value at £30 for the food and came with a surprise on the personalised menu, which I will not ruin by telling you. Very much worth a try if you live locally and want a special evening in (again). More

We’ve been looking forward to this for several months and L’Enclume didn’t disappoint. Very small unassuming doorway leads you into a room of calm and low key elegance. We were in the conservatory area overlooking garden & Cartmel Priory. From start to finish was just... incredible. We had the lunch tasting menu with flight of wines. Some of the food ingredients I would never would have considered ordering on a menu but it was all beautifully prepared/presented and flavours incredible and there was nothing we disliked . The waiters were all extremely knowledgeable and we were well looked after without being over bearing. More

My husband and I had an exceptional meal, dining experience on Saturday evening. The 18 course tasting menu accompanied by the signature wine flight. Every detail from start to finish was faultless, every member of staff was friendly and welcoming our sommelier Julie was so... knowledgeable and enthused about each wine it was just a pleasure to see. It's hard to do credit to the food but just every mouthful was so well thought through and executed, food I would never think to try that all worked so well and was beautifully presented and just an absolute delight to eat. I've found at other Michelin restaurants the atmosphere can be quite stuffy but this could not be further from the truth at l'enclume. The whole restaurant had a fabulous buzz to it and my husband and I enjoyed every second. Obviously, it's not the cheapest meal but I really feel like its a real occasion and well worth every penny we will certainly be back. More

the trip l'enclume

I’d really like to give this 4.5 out of 5 but I’ll have to round it up (it would be inappropriate to round it down). We’re very used to visiting and eating at ‘high end’ restaurants all over the world, and often experiencing ‘tasting’ menus.... This was a nice experience. As you’d expect flavours are intense, the variety of dishes large, some dishes remarkably surprising, and the service exquisite, yet friendly, and definitely very professional by Tom and team, from start to finish. We enjoyed the wine pairing. Did the Covid restrictions inhibit the experience? No, not really apart from the face masks worn by waiting staff which made it difficult to hear them. We were glad to be sat next to the rear window overlooking the small garden rather than a table in the interior with little natural light. Why not 5/5? We were very rushed by staff at the end. We’d have wished to have had a digestive up weren’t asked, and were suddenly advised that our taxi had arrived which we hadn’t said we were ready for, infact we hadn’t quite finished our pudding course. And secondly we were presented with a parting gift of a tiny seed plant which we thought kind and interesting but rather odd as I was tiny and rather pathetic considering we were spending not a small amount of money. And is this value for money overall? That’s a matter of personal opinion. It’s certainly for guests who don’t mind spending at these levels on a meal out, but it’s no average meal out. How does it compare with other tasting menus at multiple Michelin starred restaurants. This is on par but probably more expensive. Service / gratuity is automatically added to the bill which is unnecessary. Yet we thoroughly enjoyed the experience but wish we hadn’t been rushed at the end, and we’d have preferred not to have been limited by the automatic level of gratuity. More

the trip l'enclume

Four of us recently met up from various parts of the country to have a weekend break in the Lake District specifically to visit L'enclume. We have been trying to visit all the places featured on 'The Trip' featuring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. L'enclume... is the third restaurant we have visited from the six featured in the first series. As we have all experienced great taster menus previously from other restaurants, we were expecting great things from L'enclume, considering the elevated price and the two Michelin Stars. We came away disappointed and wondering what all the fuss was about. Everything including the setting, service, interaction with staff and presentation of food was between very good and excellent; it was certainly in line with other high end restaurants. Our disappointment came purely from the taste of the food. Now, with taster menus, one always runs the risk of not liking certain dishes as the range of ingredients used in the numerous dishes will not always be loved by everyone; I accept that. However, all four of us just found the food rather bland. We were expecting to be 'wowed' every time a new dish was placed in front of us and it didn't happen....once. This would be bad enough with your 'average priced' high end restaurant, but when you come away having paid over £340 each, you expect to be taken to heaven and back (well I do anyway!). This will probably result in cries of over exaggeration from readers of this review, but the highlight of the food was the bread and butter! I really am not joking. Looking at all the positive reviews, I do keep questioning whether the four of us collectively lost our taste buds during our visit as most seem to be gushing over their experiences; have they all been to high end restaurants before and experienced other taster menus? Or is it their first visit and the drama and theatre of the presentation and service distracted them from the blandness of the food? Who knows... I just wanted to throw this review into the pot and state that it is all very well having everything else spot on but if the taste doesn't deliver, what's the point? More

If you like fast food, this is the place to go. They say you should never go back to a place you liked, how true that is and I really wish we hadn’t bothered. We had the tasting menu (you have no choice) with paired... wines, total cost £550 for 2. The food was in my opinion not of an acceptable quality to justify 2 Michelin Stars, having been to others that do. The service was abysmal, the food came so fast we had 3 paired wines on the go! The wines seemed to be bargain basement with little attention made to the food they were meant to “pair” with. Having expected the evening to be a pleasurable relaxed experience we left having had to bring our taxi forward by 90 minutes deflated and disappointed. More

We went to L’Enclume for a birthday treat ! The food was exceptional and we had the taster lunchtime menu. The restaurant was busy with most tables taken, the service was attentive and informative. We had 12 courses in total it’s best not to ask... for the prices, however go prepared Without one of the best restaurants we have been to More

The Trip Must End

In the final installment of their fictional travel series, steve coogan and rob brydon let us live vicariously one last time..

Portrait of Bilge Ebiri

Though I’ve long been a fan of the Trip films, I was not prepared to get emotional over the announcement of a new one. Learning of the impending May release of The Trip to Greece — the fourth and final entry in the series that follows British comedians Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, playing fictional versions of themselves, as they travel lovely roads, eat lovely meals, and do lovely impressions, all the while hilariously sniping at each other over personal and professional matters — led to some complicated feelings. Here was a movie about all the things we can’t do right now, not that most of us could ever really do them: Go for a long car ride in another country with a friend-colleague-rival (at least, that’s how Coogan and Brydon present themselves in these efforts), stay in a hotel, eat in a nice restaurant, and then move on to the next location.

The films, directed and conceived by Michael Winterbottom and partly improvised by Coogan and Brydon, aren’t indulgent wallows in food and privilege, however: Through the heightened, fictionalized portraits of Coogan and Brydon’s petty professional jealousies, they also interrogate the cocoon of celebrity culture. We always get the sense that reality is slowly catching up to these gents. Never has this been truer than in 2020’s The Trip to Greece , which alongside the impressions and the bickering and the delicious meals, finds Coogan and Brydon confronting the agony of the refugee crisis, as well as personal loss in their own lives. (The films all start off airing in longer series form in Britain, and Greece premiered on TV in the U.K. in February.) But for all the darkness, it still manages to be quite charming.

Coogan and Brydon have always been upfront about the fact that the two men presented onscreen are not really their true selves. (They’ve been outfitted with different families, for starters.) But when I get them together for a Zoom one dreary March morning, they slip right into (gently, collegially, lovingly) taking the piss out of each other. Brydon is at home in London. Coogan is at home in Essex, behind him a monitor displaying footage from a series of security cameras, a fact that Brydon does not leave unmentioned.  Brydon is late to our chat; Coogan has noticed …

Hi, Rob. Rob Brydon: Hi, so sorry. I totally forgot.

Steve Coogan: Well, that doesn’t entirely surprise me.

RB: It’s very hard to remember things, I find, at the moment.

SC: Because you’re rushed off your feet, are you? [ Laughs. ]

RB: There’s an interesting thing here. I’ve got an 11-year-old and an 8-year-old, and I think the experience at the moment of people who have young children is very different from the experience of the people who don’t. The people who don’t are watching films, reading books, it’s rather lovely.

SC: I don’t envy you. I’m being facetious. But can you go out?

RB: We go out once a day. One day we do a walk, the other day we do a bike ride. But we don’t come into contact with anyone. We’ve got a big garden, so we can be in that.

SC: You can’t cycle around your garden, can you?

RB: No, no, we cycle the streets. You can cycle the streets as long as you don’t come into contact.

SC: Isn’t that a bit hazardous?

RB: No, because the roads are so quiet.

How are you guys holding up? What the hell is life like for you? RB: Are you alright, Steve? Are you okay?

SC: I am okay. I’m here with my daughter and her boyfriend. Just the three of us. They’re obviously quite happy with each other, and I just kind of hang out with them saying, “What are you guys doing?,” which is slightly awkward. I think they’d be fine without me here, but I’m not sure I’d be fine without them here. So, I’ve been doing that and, you know, going for runs, and Skype writing because that’s what I was doing anyway. I’m carrying on with that, and trying to imagine somehow that the things I write might still somehow be relevant in a post-corona world. I think anyone who’s pitching anything or making anything after this will claim that it’s somehow relevant to coronavirus, whatever it is. But I’m very fortunate. I did some shopping for some people, locally, and the woman asked, “Do you want some money?” And I said, “No, that’s fine. Just make some contribution to some charity.” And my writing partner said, “What you really said was, ‘Just make sure you tell people about it.’” [ Laughs. ] Which I’m doing now.

the trip l'enclume

RB: You know what I would love now is if that as we’re doing this we see behind you, Steve, people breaking into your house and stealing your stuff on the screen, while you’re talking, unaware of what’s going on.

SC: [ Glances behind him. ] Security cameras! And I’m claiming that I care about the local community.

RB: [ Laughs. ] Like a little old woman … [ inaudible ].

You broke up a little bit there, Rob. RB: It doesn’t bear repeating.

SC: Oh, come on, I like it when you’re forced to repeat a punchline after the moment’s gone.

I know a lot of people thought they’d have more time to read, and do other things, but what they’re discovering is they can’t focus on anything, due to the anxiety and stress. SC: I think people are still in a state of shock. Because it all happened rather quickly. But when people adjust to the new reality that’s going to be here for at least a few months …

RB: I’ve actually been reading Alan Bennett’s diaries again. I find those incredibly calming and relaxing, this really lovely ordered world.

SC: I watched Brief Encounter the other day, which was really, really wonderful.

RB: I bet it moves nice and slowly. We showed the boys The Great Escape and really enjoyed it.

SC: It’s great when you can enjoy things vicariously a second time around through your children. Having said that, I just got through the second season of El Chapo and I’m looking forward to the third.

Before watching Trip to Greece this weekend, I rewatched all three previous Trip movies. I started with The Trip to Spain , and there’s that moment early on, where you’re at a restaurant, sitting outside, and it starts to rain and everybody crowds inside. It’s the kind of annoying little thing that everyone has probably experienced at some point in their lives. And yet, I started tearing up watching it, because here was this incredibly common human moment that I can’t have right now. And who knows when I’ll ever get to have it. I was surprised at how it struck me. SC: Wow. When people come out of prison they often talk about the visceral pleasure of feeling rain.

RB: I’ve been seeing lots of things like that at the moment. I see something on television or a film, and I see people meeting somewhere, and think, Wow, that’ll be nice to be able to do that again.

the trip l'enclume

I found The Trip to Greece to be quite poignant. It does seem like the saddest entry in the series. We get this sense that reality is catching up to you guys. SC: What Michael [Winterbottom] does with Rob and I is that whatever peccadillos or idiosyncrasies we have, we just sort of build on them. Because he’s middle-aged like we’re middle-aged, so he just addresses those things. What’s the word? It takes the curse off these things. When we talk about these things, or laugh at these things, they suddenly become diminished. These big questions — the anxiety of life — become somehow just put in a box. And if you make art out of it … What’s that Nora Ephron line? “Everything is copy.”

RB: Oh, you’re speaking of Nora Ephron. You know in The Trip to Greece where I say, “I did a Skype audition,” that was for Nancy Meyers.

SC: Oh, yes, Nancy. I auditioned for her.

RB: Yeah, me too. I didn’t get it.

SC: I didn’t get it either. I auditioned for The Holiday , and she said I wasn’t sexy enough.

RB: I didn’t audition for that. No, this was a little thing. But it was very funny because she was very flattering, and of course I’m very good with flattery. I respond very well to it. And then I did my bit, and of course didn’t get it.

SC: So, basically, you peaked at the small talk.

RB: Yeah! I think I’m good at that. I very rarely get a part that I audition for.

SC: I’m the same. I remember once this director said, “Can you stop saying the name of the character when you talk about it and just say ‘I’?” Right? So when I’m writing Alan Partridge, I say, “Alan does this, and Alan does that.” I don’t say “ I do this,” you know. I just say, “Alan.” And I was talking about a part with this director, saying “he,” referring to the character. “ He does this and then I think he does this,” and [the director] says, “Can you stop saying ‘he’ and say ‘I’, I think it will help you.” And I found myself saying, “Fuck off.” That’s why auditioning doesn’t go well for Rob or, I’d say, me.

Do you ever hear from chefs who felt they or their food were portrayed unfairly on the show? SC: I was at L’Enclume only two months ago. L’Enclume is in the first Trip , in the Lake District, not far from me. I went there for dinner, and the chef, Simon Rogan, who’s very much a respected Michelin star chef, came up and went, “Hey, how are you?” And it was all very friendly, but he still mentioned Ray Winstone’s snot. I don’t know if that’s in the film version [or only in the BBC series version], but there’s this one particular dish that had a green liquid in it that looked a bit like — and I don’t know how we arrived at this, I can’t remember — but I do remember that I compared it to Ray Winstone as a gangster forcing someone to eat his mucus. And for Simon Rogan, the chef … I mean this was ten years ago and whenever I see him he still brings it up in conversation. You know, we were very, very nice, and very complimentary, but it’s funny that that’s the thing that sticks in his mind about the show.

RB: We just praise the food because it’s always very nice, although I’m often not paying that much attention to it. People often say to me, “Which is the best food?” I’m just thinking, What am I going to say next? I’m trying to be inventive and creative. What I do remember are the meals we would eat in the evenings when we weren’t filming.

SC: Yeah. Do you remember, Rob, I think one of the most pleasurable meals we had was in King’s Landing. I think it was the Angel Pub in Yorkshire, and it was fried breakfast, after we had been to Bolton Abbey …

RB: It was simple ingredients.

SC: Yeah, but not the normal simple ingredients. There weren’t fresh, clean ingredients. It was a fried breakfast. It was egg, bacon, sausage, tomato, beans.

RB: But done beautifully.

SC: I remember sitting outside that pub by the road and thinking that was lovely, just … yeah. I’d go back there, you know. I’d go back there.

RB: Well, I went back to Holbeck Ghyll, which is in the Lake District, with my wife and my two younger children …

SC: Did they sit you by the window?

RB: I think, yes, we sat in the same seat, and I felt like the returning hero, and I thought, Surely we’re not going to be charged for this meal . But we were.

SC: You know what, Rob, you say that, but I have to say I have been back there several times, and my brother-in-law and my sister who both are very normal people who work in the public sector helping people with special needs, I told the proprietor and they stayed there for three nights, having Michelin-star dinners every night, and the whole thing was free.

RB: And yet one-half of the original team who made that thing has to pay. Where’s the fairness? [ Laughs. ]

SC: I think that it’s basically socialism in action. Those who can afford it pay. Those who can’t are subsidized. That’s fair. That’s my political worldview in action. So, it was right that you were charged.

RB: I’m struggling with it. A discount would have been something.

How often do you hear back from the subjects of your impressions? RB: We did a thing with Michael Caine at the Albert Hall, and he was very nice. You can see it . Anthony Hopkins I met in Los Angeles and he said, [ does an Anthony Hopkins voice ] “I loved The Trip. Loved The Trip .” This was after we’d done the first one and the Italian one hadn’t come out. And I said, “Well, in this new one, the Italian one, we’re on a yacht and we do you in The Bounty .” And he started doing it! He started going, “Turn your back away, Mr. Fryer!” And then I was doing it back to him. We were in a car and I got rather giddy. Hopkins! Hopkins occupies a sort of Brando-like position in the business. I think he is the equal of any actor, if you look at what he has put onscreen and onstage. And there he was, and he was doing it, you know, right next to me. And I’m doing it back at him! It was all I could do not to cry. It was quite overwhelming.

SC: Gosh, yeah … I’m quite envious of that.

the trip l'enclume

Has anybody you’ve done impressions of reacted negatively? RB: I don’t think so. I think most people are flattered by it.

SC: Oh, me! That’s me. When you do me. I react slightly negatively.

RB: I do Steve Coogan and he’s a prickly customer. He doesn’t like it.

SC: [ Laughs. ] Probably the most negative reaction is me when he does me. That’s the truth, yeah. I do find it a little bit uncomfortable when he does it. You know how some people don’t like it when you take photographs of them, because they think you’re taking their soul? I feel like somehow it’s distilling some DNA, like a little bit of witchcraft. There’s something discombobulating about it. I don’t think it’s quite me, but there’s a certain familiarity about it. It’s reductive, that’s what it is. Because I think what I do is quite interesting, and if you do it, it’s almost like you can sort of bottle it and sell it in Boots, and that worries me, you know.

RB: And he’s telling the truth when he says that.

SC: Yes, yes. Yes. [ Laughs. ]

Rob, I hear that you declined to meet Al Pacino once. RB: Yeah, that is true. I was doing The Huntsman: Winter’s War . A big hit. It exploded at the box office. It bombed. And I played a dwarf. Great fun. And Jessica Chastain was on it, and one weekend she said, “Al is in town. We’re going to meet up for drinks. Do you want to come?” Now, I had a school event on, so I had to go to some parents’ thing. I could have got out of it, but I chose not to because I thought, Well, what’s going to happen? I’ve ended up meeting a lot of my acting and musical heroes, but there are some then who I think … Well, I’ve already got a great relationship with Al Pacino in my head, you know? So let’s just leave it at that.

Both of you have done work over the years that blurs the line between reality and fiction, but with the first Trip , was there any kind of adjustment, in that you really were playing these versions of yourselves? Was there a question of how much reality to put in? SC: I remember having a chat with Rob and saying, “Let’s risk offending each other and not take it personally, to try and find funny things.” I don’t know that we actually shook hands. And that pretty much worked, I think, 95 percent of the time. I got tetchy sometimes, but by and large that held, that sort of gentleman’s ribbing.

RB: The difference with the first one, from my perspective, was that it was very new, and we were going into it thinking, Well, what is this? You know, because Michael [Winterbottom]’s pitch was as a series initially, although he was saying he was going to make a film. It was six half-hours. And I remember thinking, How on Earth can we improvise enough good stuff for six half-hours? I was convinced we wouldn’t. The thing that surprised me about the first one when I watched it was the melancholy. We were traveling home every weekend, because it was done in Britain, and I’d come home and say to my wife, “Oh yeah, Steve was very funny, we did some very funny stuff.” But of course I wasn’t aware of the way Michael was shooting it, and the music he was going to put on it, and the long, slow shots. And that’s part of its success: You’ve got us two who, broadly speaking, follow traditional comic instincts and timings, and then you’ve got Michael who is a very un-manipulative filmmaker. He just wants to tell the story. Just, blomp , there it is, there’s the story. There are often times where I think, “Well, why didn’t you cut here, or cut a bit sooner on the joke?” But it was better that he didn’t, because it made it very individual.

SC: I agree with Rob there. And in fact I think Rob and I were sort of trying to get involved with Michael in the process in the first Trip , and then after that we just didn’t bother anymore.

RB: Futile, futile.

SC: Pointless! Pointless! And a waste of energy because Michael’s very good at what he does. These films are Michael Winterbottom films, and we’re just in them doing stuff.

Rob, I remember a story you told about how in The Trip to Italy , after you had the affair with the deckhand, your wife was hearing from people the next day saying, “Oh my God, I’m so sorry this happened.” RB: Yeah, she was taking the boys to school, and a teacher came up, put a hand on her shoulder, and said, “This must be a very difficult time for you.”

SC: That is very worrying that your kids were going to a school where a teacher can’t make that distinction.

RB: A state school. It’s more of a commune, really.

SC: What’s funny is if you say things that are self-critical or portray yourself in that negative light, as we do in The Trip , it sort of it nixes those who ought to say things like “In reality,” because you think, what can they say? Not only have I criticized myself, I’ve turned it into something creative and helped pay the rent with it.

RB: I always find it very funny that some people watch it and take it simply as a reality show, as if literally he’s just following us around and these things are really happening.

SC: I mean, while we’re having dinner, you think that might be real. But when I sleep with the receptionist at the hotel, how they think I allowed a film crew into the bedroom to —

RB: How she allowed you into the bedroom, I think would be the …

SC: Well, that’s more believable.

I think part of it is that reality TV has trained people to accept these things as real. Because that sort of thing would happen on, you know, The Real World . SC: That’s very true. This is such a weird hybrid.

RB: I can’t speak for Steve here, but I don’t really watch those programs because I’m a bit of a snob.

SC: Yeah. But I do.

It’s a bit of a reality series, but it’s also something of a movie franchise. For people like me, you know, The Trip is almost our version of a superhero franchise. There’s something familiar about it, there’s the template, but then the variations are what make it fun. And you guys are ending it right around the time The Avengers and Star Wars are sort of ending as well. RB: It’s our Endgame , yeah.

SC: We’re superheroes for middle-aged, middle-class, white professionals.

Part Two of this interview will run next month. The Trip to Greece will be available in the U.S. on May 22, 2020. The previous Trip films are currently streaming on IFC Films Unlimited.

Movie Review | ‘The Trip'

2 Pairs of Sharp Elbows On White Tablecloths

  • Share full article

By Manohla Dargis

  • June 9, 2011

In contrast to Roger Corman’s 1967 freakout, “The Trip,” no hallucinogens are harmed in the Michael Winterbottom comedy of the same title, a British road movie laced with lacerating laughs and starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon . Mr. Coogan does, in fact, smoke a joint, lighting up in the same house where Coleridge wrote “Dejection: An Ode” and indulged in opium, the soporific that enslaved him in “humiliation and debasement.” Mr. Coogan has made a career partly by riffing on narcissism and he’s in fine self-loving form, as is Mr. Brydon. For one man, the humiliation of choice here is fame (with a debasement chaser), while for the other it’s his incessant vocal mugging. Both give you a contact high.

The duo’s dueling funnymen routine will be familiar if you’ve seen a few of Mr. Winterbottom’s earlier films, including “Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story,” or were in Britain last fall and caught “The Trip” when it was a six-part BBC2 television series . The title, premise and almost everything else in both the big- and small-screen versions are identical because, well, they’re essentially the same , save for the movie’s abbreviated length (111 minutes) and some gags lost in translation. To rewind: Mr. Coogan accepts a gig from The Observer of London to review six restaurants in northern England. He plans to take his (pretend) girlfriend, Mischa (Margo Stilley), but is forced, with demonstrable reluctance, to ask Mr. Brydon instead. Straightaway, the two friendly combatants are motoring out of London in a Range Rover, maps and gags at the ready.

As in many road movies, the trip becomes an occasion for philosophizing, a journey inward and out as the men joust and parry, improvising and entertaining each other, at times by imitating, hilariously, someone else (Michael Caine, Sean Connery). They also eat, of course, often and well, dining in restaurants where the rooms and service are hushed and the dishes extravagantly conceptualized and prepared. (With The Observer paying, money isn’t an issue.) There are gardens of vegetables, oceans of seafood, a veritable abattoir of meat. At the Cumbrian restaurant L’Enclume (one Michelin star), the near-parodic haute and low offerings include lollipops “made out of duck fat with peanuts” (“Why not?” Mr. Coogan muses) and some foamy pea-green ick made from mallow, ginger beer and whiskey and served in a martini glass.

“The consistency,” Mr. Coogan says after braving a sip, “is a bit like snot.” Pause. “But it tastes great.”

the trip l'enclume

In between the truffle ravioli and Burgundy, the vocal caricatures and Lake District landscapes, Mr. Coogan and Mr. Brydon goad each other with prickly jokes and smiled insults all while comparing their successes, reciting poetry and walking the moors, as well as an occasional tightrope. Sometimes the camaraderie edges into aggression that is soon snuffed out with laughter. Mr. Coogan’s stated desire to act for film-art “auteurs,” is one well-chewed bone they tug at, as is Mr. Brydon’s populist appeal. Since they worked with Mr. Winterbottom in his 2002 film “24 Hour Party People,” Mr. Brydon has continued to blow up bigger in Britain, while Mr. Coogan’s Hollywood future has dimmed (his star turn in “Around the World in 80 Days” went nowhere), developments that give “The Trip” a sting of truth.

Oh, how Mr. Coogan aches for celebrity. Or at least that’s what his on-screen character yearns for. It’s unclear which is which, who is who, and that’s part of the journey — the destination too. To the extent that the man at the wheel (Mr. Coogan) and the guy riding shotgun (Mr. Brydon) are playacting is a question that Mr. Winterbottom and his stars enjoyably bat around. Does it matter where a performer ends and the persona begins, or if the two can be separated? In “The Trip” you search for authenticity among the jokes and lulls, but what you get is what you see and hear: Mr. Coogan sniping, eating and whining, endlessly whining, about the size of his rooms, the state of his career, and Mr. Brydon a blissful foil. It’s plenty real.

Even so, it’s impossible to know if Mr. Coogan is honestly wounded and if Mr. Brydon is as cheerfully impervious to insult as he appears. It’s easier to guess: maybe so. In one scene Mr. Coogan tries to mimic Mr. Brydon’s popular “small man in a box” voice and its tiny peeping, but fails. Looking into a mirror, Mr. Coogan says with strangled effort — addressing his twin self, the one perhaps responsible for great Coogan creations like Alan Partridge — “I don’t care about silly voices.” It’s a perfect encapsulation of the contradictions and sad-funny neediness that “The Trip” gets at so well and a moment that Mr. Winterbottom almost blows with the tinkling piano that creeps onto the soundtrack whenever things turn self-consciously serious. There’s no need to milk the tears when, like the laughs, they’re already flowing.

Opens on Friday in Manhattan.

Directed by Michael Winterbottom; director of photography, Ben Smithard; edited by Mags Arnold and Paul Monaghan; music by Michael Nyman; produced by Andrew Eaton and Melissa Parmenter; released by IFC Films. Running time: 1 hour 51 minutes. This film is not rated.

WITH: Steve Coogan (Steve), Rob Brydon (Rob), Claire Keelan (Emma), Margo Stilley (Mischa), Rebecca Johnson (Sally), Dolya Gavanski (Magda) and Kerry Shale (Steve’s United States Agent).
