The story
The Restaurant at Lifehouse Spa in Thorpe le Soken delivers contemporary Italian and Mediterranean cuisine guided by the rhythms of the season. Executive Chef Ugo Simonelli applies 35 years of international experience, including tenures at the Kulm Hotel in St Moritz and the Belmond brand, to create menus that honour his Italian roots while utilising East Anglian produce. His approach favours simple, confident flavours where the ingredient defines the dish.
Dinner covers a range from simply composed plates to timeless favourites, each prepared with care to highlight seasonal produce. An aperitivo hour runs between six and six thirty on Sundays through Thursdays, providing complimentary cocktails crafted by the bar team. The lunch service offers lighter bites designed for a midday pause, welcoming guests in bathrobes or sportswear.
The dining room maintains a relaxed yet refined atmosphere that reflects the calm character of the Lifehouse spa retreat. Dinner requires smart casual attire, establishing a distinct tone for the evening service. Midday visits accept a looser dress code, enabling the venue to serve both elegant meals and quiet pauses for those visiting for treatments.
