Outdoor dining returns with the launch of 'Right Then' in the Carousel garden, featuring a weekly-changing menu of food you want to eat by Thomas Straker and the Carousel team. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 16th April.

DATES: Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays

Alex Bond x The Botanist
ALCHEMILLA (NOTTINGHAM)

Awarded its first Michelin star last year, Alchemilla was one of the guide’s top picks, singled out for Alex’s “perfect understanding of the way we want to eat now.” Partnering with The Botanist, he'll be showing us why it's his alchemist’s approach to unsung ingredients that makes him one of the most progressive and exciting chefs in the country.

DATES: 18th - 22nd May

Foraging & Wild Cocktail Masterclass

Join us on the Hackney Marshes for an afternoon of foraging and wild cocktails, featuring all manner of delightful sounding ingredients like pineapple weed, meadowsweet and spruce tips...

DATES: 24th April & 26th June

Joo Won
(LONDON)

Joo Won has always dreamed of opening a little place of his own in London, somewhere dedicated to tasty, simple and comforting food, natural wine, and his first love: Korean fried chicken. Marrying seasonal British and European ingredients and techniques with “just a little accent of Korea”, knockout dishes like Ibérico Pork Bulgogi BBQ are why we come to work every day.

Joo Won has always dreamed of opening a little place of his own in London, somewhere dedicated to tasty, simple and comforting food, natural wine, and his first love: Korean fried chicken.

Originally from Busan, South Korea’s second city, Joo moved to Europe to seek his fortune as a pastry chef in Paris, “the mecca of gastronomy at that time”, but ended up stopping off in London en route where could make ends meet while brushing up on his French. That was sixteen years ago.

Since then he has been a mainstay of some of London’s most garlanded kitchens, most recently @galvinatwindows where, as head chef, he successfully steered the Park Lane favourite to a Michelin star for seven straight years. But when you know, you know, and Joo decided last summer that it was finally time to say goodbye to the Galvin bros and focus on getting his own thing off the ground. We’re very pleased that he did.

His own rather brilliant approach to cooking marries seasonal British and European ingredients and techniques with “just a little accent of Korea”. What you end up with are gorgeous creations like the ‘Bread and Soybean Butter’, ‘Autumn Mushroom and Green Vegetable Mandu’ and ‘Ibérico Pork Bulgogi BBQ’ on his Carousel menu. Not to mention Joo’s ‘Korean Fried Chicken’, which he just calls “JFC” (well why wouldn’t you?). These are dishes that deserve a permanent home, maybe even in Paris if Joo ever gets round to booking those Eurostar tickets.

Before we get you all hot and bothered with talk of Fermented Chillies and Mouth-Numbing Salads, we just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who’s spent a Friday night with us this year. Some of you have joined us for every single one, which makes our hearts burst with joy. We couldn’t have hoped for a more amazing response. Join us for one last hurrah before we do it all again for real…

For our fifth and final Friday Night In, we’re heading East. If we were clever we would have done this one over Chinese New Year but never mind; earth-shattering tasty food is earth-shatteringly tasty food, and it deserves to be eaten every day of the week. So here it is.

You’re going to kick things off with a Lychee and Mint Gimlet, made with @TheBotanistgin because that’s how we do things here. This is the perfect, palate-cleansing precursor for our take on a takeaway classic: Scallop, Sesame and Sichuan Chilli Toast with Fermented Chilli.

The main event sure looks menacing – a perfectly whole Sea Bream, chillin’ in a vermilion hot tub of Sichuan Chilli Oil, Spring Onion and Ginger – but fear not, this is a wonderful, fragrant, mouth-tingler of a dish, rather than a hold-on-for-dear-life, double-dare-you affair. This comes with a Mouth-Numbing Cucumber Salad featuring a nifty trick that we learnt from our friends from @chinese_laundryroom, plus gingery, garlicky rice.

To finish? A spicy twist on the Margarita, with Sichuan Peppercorn-infused Tequila, Cointreau, Lime and a Himalayan Pink Salt rim. The perfect end to ten weeks of killer drinks, tasty eats and gratuitous emojis.
