 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩... 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐧 CAROUSEL X THE BOTANIST GIN 11th – 15th April A long-standing legend of the West Country food scene and early pioneer of local, sustainable, and seasonal cooking in the UK, @theethicurean has been creating unforgettable, natured-led culinary experiences for well over a decade (including a wonderful week with us back in 2018). From their picturesque Victorian walled garden surrounded by Somerset’s rolling Mendip hills, chefs Mark McCabe (@mccabedoesstuff) and Matthew Pennington (@mrmatthewpennington) create ever-evolving, seasonal menus designed to ‘wow the senses and be connected with nature’. Whether grown in the garden itself, or foraged, fished or shot just outside its walls, everything is locally-sourced and imaginatively put together. Their Michelin Green Star is testament to this hyper-local approach. The Ethicurean’s unwavering dedication to connecting the land and the seasons to the plate makes them an ideal partner for our Carousel x The Botanist gin series, championing forager-chefs from around the British Isles. Head chef Mark joins us for four nights, with an impressively innovative seven-course menu packed with foraged delights from the restaurant’s garden and its surrounds, including ‘Barbecued Brassicas, Spring Herbs’; ‘Venison, Celeriac, Wild Garlic’; and ‘Char, Turnip, Rock Samphire’, paired with seasonal @thebotanistgin cocktails.  Swipe to see the full menu and head to the link in our bio to book yourself a place.

We’re part-way through a fortnight with the super- talented team from Stockport institution @arestaurantwherethelightgetsin @sambuckley_wtlgi and @calinthekitchen are serving a creative, multi-course menu that celebrates the very best of the season’s produce, cleverly utilising each ingredient to its full potential (head to our stories to find out more…) Highlights include his Carlingford oyster tostada with rhubarb (made with corn that’s been nixtamilised with the cooked oyster shells. Genius.); a delicate kohlrabi terrine with chamomile oil and preserved gooseberries from the restaurant’s garden; and his main course: an outstanding example of imaginative nose-to-tail cooking which fetaures a succulent pork ragù, fresh herbs, pork broth and a seriously fluffy pork fat donut for mopping it all up. Banging. There are a few tables available tonight, tomorrow and next week. Trust us, you really don’t want to miss this one, so run to the link in our bio to book yourself in while you still can.

There, founder Victor Liong (@smokeystevenson) reinvents regional Chinese favourites, taking “the legacy of deliciousness given to us by generations of Chinese Australians” and taking it in a highly personal and creative direction with a playbook of both modern and traditional techniques, and the region’s finest seasonal ingredients. Combining Victor’s passion for exploring China’s rich and diverse cuisine with his years of experience in some of Australia’s most renowned fine dining kitchens, dishes like ‘marinated scallop, soy brown butter, salted egg yolk’; ‘Yunnan milk curd & salted garlic chive bing flatbread’; and ‘slow-roasted duck, quince hoisin, charred leek, cucumber’ have earned Lee Ho Fook cult status, numerous accolades and a place on last year’s World’s 50 Best Discovery list.

 Looking back on an epic week with NYC restaurant royalty, @king.newyork 👑 @jessieshad and @angeleschava’s menu took us on a delicious culinary journey to southern France, featuring herb-marinated goat’s cheese with tapenade and tomato salad; the best pissaladière we’ve ever tried (and cannot stop thinking about); delicate parcels of Swiss chard & potato ravioli in saffron butter; tender fish & fennel parcels with monk’s beard & coco beans; a comforting Far Breton drizzled in cold cream; and the ultimate lemon sorbet, full of zest and topped with cold vodka for the perfect palate cleansing finish. All accompanied by French wines chosen by @annie.h.shi 👏

 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩... 𝐂𝐚𝐨𝐬 COPENHAGEN 28th March - 1 April  Pop-up mavericks Caos exploded onto the Copenhagen dining scene last summer with a series of impossible-to-book residencies. Best pals and rising stars Marie Louise Westmark and Merel Martine Quint have been serving their signature style of eclectic, heartfelt flavour bombs at some of the city’s trendiest spots, including Rouges Oysters and Paloma vermouth bar. On the menu? Fun, provocative food that’s ‘designed to be savoured’. After more than a decade working in some of Europe’s coolest kitchens, from Silo (London) and Da Vinci (Netherlands), to Baest, Nr30 and Lola (all Copenhagen), their worlds collided in Sicily the summer of 2022 and Caos erupted. Taking inspiration from their travels, the pair create innovative menus using strictly what’s in season, and aren’t afraid to give a little love to underused ingredients. Strictly collaborating with places that match their vibe (and we’re taking that as a huge compliment), Marie Louise and Merel join us at Carousel for a week with a menu celebrating the bounty of spring. Highlights include charred spring gazpacho with cockles, mussels and homemade Caos hot sauce; wild garlic hake parcels with whey sauce; and open lasagne with langoustines, new season’s asparagus and lamb testicles (yes, you read that right). Swipe to read the full menu, then head to the link in our bio to book yourself in for the ride.

 A brilliant and insightful week with the extremely talented @harrietmansell Harriet’s ambitious yet perfectly executed menu celebrated the abundant wild produce found along Dorset’s shorelines and beyond. Highlights included her ginger-spiked gurnard dumpling with black garlic, black mustard & Alexander buds; wild garlic & Westcombe cheddar-stuffed bavette with mushroom and Jerusalem artichokes; and her intricate snack plate. This included tempura nettle with cod’s roe & pickles; bay tartlet with goat’s curd and woodruff; potato pillow with berkswell cream & smoked dulse; and toast with mussel butter 🤯👏 All accompanied by bespoke @thebotanistgin cocktails.

 How it’s done, the crisps edition… Want to know the secrets behind our best-selling and most ‘grammed bar snack? After deep-frying potatoes until super crisp and golden, we drizzle them with tangy fermented tomato and a sprinkling of tomato dust (made from the dried tomato skins, ‘cos you won’t find any waste here). To finish, they’re topped with suitably salty Cantabrian anchovies and chives. The perfect drinking snack, some might say…

 Looking back on a brilliant week with the legendary @jokebakare @chishuru Joke served six magical courses of punchy West African flavours with impressive, laid-back ease. Her knock-out menu included corn with coconut & tamarind; black eyed bean cake with the silkiest chicken liver parfait & crispy chicken skin; and incredibly tender, beautifully spiced mutton with rice, pickles and plantain. Keep an eye out on the @chishuru page for news of the restaurant’s new home coming soon. We can’t wait to eat Joke’s food again, hopefully in the not-too-distant future 🤞🙏

 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩... 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐈𝐧 STOCKPORT 14th – 25th March @arestaurantwherethelightgetsin is the impeccable debut restaurant from ex L’Enclume chef and local Stockport lad, Sam Buckley. After years working alongside Michelin-spangled greats like Paul Kitching, Gary Rhodes and Simon Rogan, Sam opened WTLGI in 2016 and it was quick to gain legend status, earning instant rave reviews. From the first floor of a coffee warehouse down a Dickensian-looking alley in Stockport’s Old Town, Sam and his team conjure up ingenious multi-course tasting menus from whatever they can procure from their close-knit community of British suppliers – as well as their rooftop kitchen garden – that week. It is this level of commitment to using strictly seasonal, consciously-sourced produce that earned the team a Michelin Green Star in 2021 (which they have since retained). Bookings in the intimate, 30-seater space are, unsurprisingly, not always easy to come by, so we’re more than chuffed to be bringing a taste of this northern culinary institution to the capital for two weeks. Expect impressively innovative, seasonal British cooking at its very best, including the likes of 'Carlingford Oyster, Oyster Shell Tostada'; 'Kohlrabi, Beech, Oak'; Celeriac, Cora Linn, Preserves'; and 'Pork Ragù, Green Onions, Bone Broth, Doughnut'.   Swipe to see the beautiful Stockport restaurant in all of its light-filled glory, plus Sam's menu for his week with us and a sneak peek at what to expect from his food.
