What’s On

Our new home on Charlotte Street is now open. Creative, culinary or cultural, whatever you’re into, you’ll be sure to find inspiration in our ever-changing line-up of extraordinary experiences.

La Docena

Guadalajara

Named for the way true oyster lovers order them (by the dozen, of course), Tomás' restaurant La Docena has become a fixture on LatAm's 50 Best, revered for its knockout dishes like the ‘Louisiana Creole Po’ Boy’ and the freshest seafood from the Pacific. Add to that a bounty of cured meats and a few heavy hitters from the parrilla, and it’s no wonder it remains one of the most electric spots in town.
DATES: 20th - 24th May

Ashcombe Estate x Carousel

Offering a luxury weekend escape to just sixteen guests at a time, Guy Ritchie is reopening the gates of his Wiltshire estate for the return of "arguably the most exclusive supper club of the summer” (Times Luxx). The series features another stellar line-up of world class guest chefs who will each work their magic in the legendary director’s lakeside WildKitchen.
DATES: May-Sept 2025

Ondine

Edinburgh

Roy Brett returns with another Scottish seafood tour-de-force, elevated with global influences that pay homage to the first spice boats docked in the port of Leith. Honouring Roy's unwavering commitment to local fishermen, we'll be working with the very best of the day-boat catch from north of the border to bring you another all-star menu of Ondine classics.
DATES: 27th - 31st May

Wine Bar

"A serious contender for the 'London’s best small plates' conversation" [The Infatuation], our crowd-pleasing wine bar menu is accompanied by a lively selection of minimal intervention wines and some of our all-time favourite cocktails. We also offer a ridiculously good value prix fixe lunch, Tuesdays to Friday (2 courses // £22, 3 courses // £25).
DATES: Tues to Sat, midday 'til late

Insurgente

Madrid

Lauded by the critics of El País and El Mundo, the Colombian-Argentine duo Genaro Celia y Agustín Mikielievich, are on a mission to democratise the flavours and techniques of Asian-influenced Latin American fine dining with their white-hot Chamberí market tapas joint, Insurgente. The duo have turned the market stall into one of Madrid’s most exciting culinary experiences.

Fresh from six years at three-Michelin-star L’Arpège under the tutelage of Alain Passard, Korean rising star Jihyun Kim is gearing up for a Parisian opening of her own: Ébène. Born in Korea, classically trained in France, Jihyun Kim’s food combines the clarity of French technique with the quiet intensity of Korean flavour. Her impeccable CV includes stages at Têtedoie* (Lyon) and Septime* (Paris) but it was her time as sous chef at L’Arpège that opened her eyes to the art and artistry of vegetable-led cooking; building depth from simplicity, using smoke like seasoning and plating with purpose. Now Jihyun is ready to strike out on her own. Opening in Paris later this year, Ébène – a collaboration with pastry chef and partner Simon Plantrou – promises to light up the city of gastronomic excellence. Don’t miss your chance to try this thrilling new, vegetable-forward project right here on Charlotte Street.

 𝗧𝗢𝗡𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 Chuck’s is back in No.23 for his legendary Charlotte Street pop-up. To celebrate the return of the real Burger King we’re going all in with a larger menu including some seasoned specials that have been doing the rounds at his European outposts. Think ‘Laab fries’, ‘Fish sauce wings’ and his famous ‘Calamansi cream pies’, the perfect compliment to Chuck’s smash patties, pickles & Martin’s potato buns. Don’t miss the ‘no modifications’ maverick. Chuck’s x No.23 - May 16th & 17th - *𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞*

Next week culinary icon Tómaz Bermúdez joins us with a blockbuster menu of world-class seafood with standout dishes like ‘Razor clam, coriander, salsa macha, leche di tigre’, ‘Octopus ceviche tostada, celeriac mayo & avocado’ and ‘British wagyu barbacoa, tortillas’ But don’t just take our word for it, slide right to see what’s got us all in a spin.

In the guest chef kitchen this week is hyper-talent Brandon Arriaga (Pujol**, Kong Hans Kælder**, CHIUnE). His upcoming opening Nácar in Mexico City is his take on the contemporary izakaya; think the poise of Japanese sensibility paired with the bold flavours of his Mexican heritage. Brandon guides us through a surprise extra on this week’s menu: ‘Claypot ojiya rice, picanha, smoked maitake mushroom’. Not to be missed. There’s still a few spots left this week if you want in.

 Lauded by the critics at El País and El Mundo, Colombian-Argentine duo Genaro Celia and Agustín Mikielievich are the duo behind white-hot Chamberí market tapas joint, @insurgente.cocina There, everything is designed to be shared. With friends, with strangers, with sticky fingers and wide eyes. Dishes are served fast, fresh, and frenetic. You eat with your hands, you lean into the noise, and with a menu packed with big-hitters like their ‘Beef short rib ‘tucumana’ empanadas, chimichurri’, ‘Gnocchi, huancaina carbonara, crispy guanciale, coriander oil’; and ‘Mushroom taco, Korean brava sauce, spiced panela’ it’s no wonder Insurgente has become a place of pilgrimage for young madrileños who know where to find the best value eats in the city. We’ll be doing staggered sittings for this one, offering a short, affordable menu of their Lat Am / Asian-influenced greatest hits. Come hungry, leave noisy.

 Known and beloved by digestif fans around the world, or maybe just people who see no reason to order a double espresso alongside their vodka. Our Espresso Martini adds a Oaxacan twist to the classic with gorgeously rich Pedro Xímenez, a nip of earthy beetroot juice, and potent smoky @thelostexplorer mezcal. As delicious as it is purple.

 As the summer season approaches and our events calendar fills up like a jug of bottomless margaritas, things are really heating up over at our sister venue @shoreditchartsclub_ With capacity for up to 200 guests in the lounge bar, twin 20-seater meeting / dining rooms and its very own cinema, Shoreditch Arts Club has got to be one of the most stylish and centrally located venues in town. Add Carousel’s critically-acclaimed food, friendly service and award-winning creative production to the mix and you’ve got the makings of a very good party... Like last night’s unforgettable issue launch for @clashmagazine x @thelostexplorer Whether it’s a brand activation, wedding or film screening you’re after, the team at Shoreditch Arts Club have you covered.

 Smashburger sensation and firm Carousel favourite, Chuck George, returns to No. 23 for a weekend long pop-up of patties, pickles, Martin’s potato rolls and secret sauce (if it ain’t broke, right?), served alongside our signature No. 23 cocktails. The ‘no modifications’ burger renegade from NYC had Charlotte Street in gridlock last year and needs no introduction for those in the know. For those who don’t, what started put as a one-patty wonder in Milan has since gone pan-European, with cult openings in Paris, Rome and Madrid, and another one on its way in Amsterdam. This time round we’re going bigger and better, as Chuck leans on his Filipino-American heritage with dishes like ‘Laab fries, nam pla, herbs’, ‘Fish sauce wings, cilantro, thai chilli’, and ‘Calamansi cream pies’ alongside the cult classic cheeseburger. This is your chance to see what all the fuss is about. Come hungry. Chuck’s x No.23 - May 16th & 17th - Bookings via the link in bio - walk-ins also welcome

 Opening in Mexico City this autumn, Nácar fuses Japanese precision with Mexican folklore in a bold izakaya format from rising star, Brandon Arriaga. With heaps of killer experience at Pujol** (CDMX), Kong Hans Kælder** (CPH) and CHIUnE (Tokyo), Brandon blends classical rigour with the artistry of kaiseki and the soul of his native cuisine. For his Carousel debut, expect a contemporary spin on Mexican street food, served kappo-style and paired with electric drinks like an ume–jamaica–jasmine mezcalita. A thrilling glimpse of what’s to come.

 Our guest chef this week is @debora_fadul of @diacagt, hot off the back of her weekend away with us at @ashcombeestate where she opened the season. Deborah’s relentless enthusiasm for her craft and her passion for sharing the storied history of Guatemalan cuisine are matched only by her creativity in the kitchen. This week she’ll been sharing dishes like ‘Sea bass ceviche, cascara leche de tigre, peach, cacao mayo’ [hell yes], ‘BBQ achiote pulled chicken, sardines, green labneh, tortillas’ & the eye-catching ‘Namelaka, guajillo chilli, macatella, coriander’ (pictured). It’s a privilege to have Debora back in the fold. Don’t miss it.

 Roy Brett returns to Carousel a full nine years after his sold-out seafood tour de force in 2016. Combining a deep respect for tradition with an enduring spirit of innovation, the award-winning doyen of the Edinburgh culinary scene is currently gearing up for a move to a bigger site in the city centre. A new location for an enduring formula: world class Scottish seafood, elevated with worldwide influences that pay homage to the first spice boats docked in the port of Leith. Take @ondine_edinburgh’s classic Fish Soup, enhanced with North African flavours of pungent saffron and oranges and a harissa based rouille, or Roy’s crab risotto, which marries local Dunbar crab with Spanish saffron and tarragon. The results are out of this world. Honouring Roy’s unwavering passion for Scottish seafood, and the community of fishermen around it, we’ll be working with the very best of the day-boat catch from north of the border, swapping dishes in and out depending on what’s freshest, alongside an all-star selection of Ondine classics, executed with Roy’s heavy-hitting flavours and unmistakable finishing touch.

 The Carousel Exchange Programme [𝙋𝘼𝙍𝙏 𝙏𝙒𝙊] The programme was born out of a desire to create a collaborative environment for our staff to exchange ideas (and experiences) with some of our culinary contemporaries around the world. Our first exchange saw us welcome sous chef @gabrielhossani of Michelin-starred @aniargalway into the Carousel kitchens, where he got a taste of what it takes to keep all the plates spinning here on Charlotte street. Being able to offer a programme like this helps us stay inspired and is the essence of why we started Carousel in the first place. Stay tuned for Part Three, where we find out what @alejuaritos got up to in Galway.

This glorious bank holiday weekend marks the beginning of our 2025 @ashcombeestate series. We’re kicking off our lakeside line-up of all-star guest chefs with Guatemalan culinary powerhouse, @debora_fadul of @diacagt Alongside Saturday’s chef’s table, guests will be able to soak up Ashcombe’s breathtaking landscapes with leisurely walks, wild swimming, and even a lakeside spa designed by Guy Ritchie himself.

 Next week, we’re joined by @debora_fadul, a genuine force of (and for) nature. At her Guatemala City restaurant @diacagt, Debora cooks with purpose, channeling the energy of the land, the wisdom of farmers, and the belief that food is the most powerful connector we have to the natural world. In her presence, that passion is unmistakable: a fierce commitment to reciprocity between people and planet. Her dishes are a reflection of that ethos, rooted and radiant. Think ‘Lobster stuffed shishito peppers, hazelnuts’, ‘Sea bass ceviche, cascara leche de tigre, peach, cacao mayo’, and ‘BBQ achiote pulled chicken, sardines, green labneh, tortillas’. Grab your seat for this unforgettable celebration of flavour, purpose and place. Tickets via the link in our bio.

 In the kitchen this week: @nikalozovska of @dizyngoff, the Odesa chef redefining modern Ukrainian cuisine with her hyper-seasonal, port-city inspired plates. Expect bright, soulful cooking in dishes like ‘Mussels, wild garlic, nettle’, ‘Fried young potatoes, shrimp sauce, samphire, anchovies’, and ‘Cottage cheese varenik, asparagus, green peas’.

 At @ladocenaoysterbar, Mexican culinary icon @tomasbermudezt champions the finest seafood from Mexico’s coastlines, served with contemporary flair and an unwavering respect for simplicity. Born in Mexico City, Tomás honed his craft in Buenos Aires before crossing the Atlantic to work under Basque legend Martín Berasategui*** and at Paris’s pioneering Le Châteaubriand. On his return to Mexico, he channelled his passion into La Docena, a New Orleans-inspired oyster bar in Guadalajara with a laser focus on sustainably sourced seafood. Named for the way true oyster lovers order them (by the dozen, of course), La Docena has become a fixture on Latin America’s 50 Best, revered for its knockout dishes like the ‘Louisiana Creole Po’ Boy’ and the freshest seafood from their Pacific back door. Add to that a bounty of cured meats and a few heavy hitters from the parrilla (think Wagyu given the full asado treatment), and it’s no wonder it remains one of the most electric spots in town. Mexican chefs know a thing or two about world-class seafood, but even they get excited when they get their hands on the best of British. So what happens when one of Mexico’s finest swaps the Pacific for the cold, clear waters of these shores? Let’s find out when Tomás joins us this May.

 Next weekend marks the return of our summer series at Ashcombe Estate, a luxury weekend escape set in the heart of Guy Ritchie’s breathtaking grounds.

Hit the link in bio for the full lowdown.

 Next week we’re joined by @nikalozovska with @dizyngoff, one of the new generation of Ukrainian chefs redefinition the country’s food culture. Her Carousel menu is a love letter to the flavours of home, with a series of Black-Sea inspired dishes like ‘Sea bass tartare, fermented fennel’; ‘Fried young potatoes, shrimp sauce, samphire, anchovies’; and ‘Lemon sole, cauliflower tortilla, smoked cheese, tahini’. This one’s going to be special. Grab your seat through the link in our bio.

 Opening in Mexico City this autumn, @nacar_mx is a contemporary izakaya from @brandonarram that “merges Japanese sensibility with Mexican folklore”. Few chefs have the experience or the imagination to pull off a concept that ambitious, but Brandon’s formative years speak for themselves. From Pujol** in Mexico City (his Nácar partners) to Kong Hans Kælder** in Copenhagen and CHIUnE in Tokyo, Brandon’s career to date is characterised by both the rigour, intensity and discipline of classical French cuisine, and, more recently, an exploration of his Mexican roots, with a special focus on the “sensitivity, skill and romanticism” of kaiseki and kappo-style Japanese cookery. For Brandon’s week with us, he’s created menu inspired by Mexico City’s food culture, but presented in a contemporary izakaya format and paired with an intriguing blend of agua fresca and tea cultures (think houjicha-cacao nib highball or ume-jamaica-jasmine mezcalita). If that sounds incredible, that’s because it is. You know what to do.
