Mama Huang’s

New York

From the man who turned chilli fried chicken into a NYC obsession, comes something altogether closer to home. Introducing Mama Huang’s, the deeply personal new project from Eric Huang. A homage to his mother and inspired by the family restaurant in Queen’s, this is cooking with deep roots and bold swagger. Less fusion, more heritage.
DATES: 22nd - 26th July

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

Luke NG

Hong Kong

Rising-star Luke NG joins us in the guest chef kitchen with a CV that reads like a who’s who of hallowed restaurants (Septime*, Mirazur*** and Hakkasan*). He joins us with his reimagined take on the energy of the classic Hong Kong Tea House “茶樓”. It’s Loud, layered, and full of personality.
DATES: 29th July - 2nd August

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

Alfie’s

Washington

Alex McCoy and Justin Ahn return to Carousel with another round of their wildly popular Thai-inspired pop-up, Alfie’s.

You have been warned.

 This week in the guest chef kitchen we’re treating you all to a very special first-look at 𝘔𝘢𝘮𝘢 𝘏𝘶𝘢𝘯𝘨’𝘴, the latest project from the fried-chicken maverick and absolute legend, Eric Huang. A love letter to the golden age of Chinese-American cooking, Mama Huang’s reimagines the classics with sharp technique, playful nostalgia and a little fine-dining flair. This project is Eric’s opportunity to bring two worlds together, it’s Queens family restaurant roots meets Eleven Madison Park polish. Expect big flavour, smart ideas and a ton of personality. Here for this week only, don’t miss your chance to be the first in the know.

 The show never really stops here. But every so often, someone comes along who makes us sit up a little straighter. Next week, it’s Luke NG’s turn at the guest chef pass. An emerging talent with serious pedigree, Luke is bringing a bold new take on the classic Hong Kong tea house “茶樓” to Charlotte Street. A reflection of the mixed cultures that make up Hong Kong, from Cantonese and British through to French, Japanese and Korean influences, it’s the ultimate melting pot and we can’t wait to be part of the story. It’s cooking that’s sharp, elegant and deeply personal. A mash-up of tradition, memory and serious technique, shaped by time in some of the world’s best kitchens like Septime*, Mirazur***, Hakkasan* and Kitchen Table**. This one’s special. You’ll want to be here for it.

The show never really stops here. But every so oft

 Bloodlust is the kind of place that doesn’t just serve dinner – it orchestrates a full-blown sensory takeover. Set amongst the dusty vines and rugged hills of Valle de Guadalupe, it’s part wine bar, part art installation, part seafood-fuelled fever dream. Launched in 2022 by three friends who longed for a true wine‑bar experience amid all the wineries and cantinas of the region. Bloodlust is loud, local and unapologetically Baja – all crashing waves, fermented grapes and big, no-holds-barred flavours. The kitchen is helmed by Ensenada emerging talent Alejandro Burgos, with a knack for making the freshest catch of the day taste like something from another planet. His food is bold, bright and deeply rooted in place, but always with one eye on what’s next. Bloodlust joins us for a two-week residency, bringing the high-octane energy of their surreal Baja California desert concept onto Charlotte Street. We’re pairing Baja wines with British seafood, turning the volume up, and leaning all the way in. The menu will be available à la carte for the entire residency. There will be vegetarian dishes available however it is fish-focused. The menu is subject to changes.

 The eagle-eyed amongst you would’ve noticed that a certain NYC fried chicken maestro has been in residence on Charlotte Street this week — yes, it’s 𝘵𝘩𝘦 Eric Huang of @pecking_house fame. We kicked things off with a SOLD OUT Pecking House residency this last week (you lot don’t hang about), and now, from Tues-Sat, we’re giving you a taste of what’s next: 𝗠𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗛𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗴’𝘀. A love letter to the Chinese-American flavours Eric grew up on — inspired by his family’s restaurant, and absolutely packed with nostalgia. (You can get a sneak peek over on our latest reel with Eric). Missed the fried chicken? Don’t panic — we’ve got you. As an extra-special treat, Eric’s legendary sandos will be flying out of No.23 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴. And because crispy chicken tastes even better with a soundtrack, our resident DJs will be spinning in No.23 on Thursday and Friday. Come hungry.

 What makes a great cocktail? For us, it’s the right ingredients, sure. But it’s also nailing the perfect balance of precision, restraint and just the right amount of mystery. Whilst some drinks do more than they let on — they can whisk you off to sun-drenched coastlines… or quietly pull you into that warm, comforting embrace. And our new gimlet does exactly that. Bright, punchy and deceptively simple — it’s citrus-driven escapism in a glass and is on the menu in No.23 now. So why not join us and 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘭𝘺.

 Next week, something very special’s coming your way. From the man who turned chilli fried chicken into a full-blown New York obsession, we’re thrilled to introduce the first look at 𝘔𝘢𝘮𝘢 𝘏𝘶𝘢𝘯𝘨’𝘴. This deeply personal new project from Eric Huang will be the sister to his cult favourite, Pecking House. Named after his mum and inspired by the family restaurant in Queens, Mama Huang’s is Eric’s love letter to the food he grew up with, reworked with all the swagger of a chef who’s cut his teeth at some of NYC’s culinary institutions (think Eleven Madison Park***, Gramercy Tavern*, Café Boulud*) Of course the chilli fried chicken’s coming with him, alongside some banquet-style heavy hitters — dishes that pull from his Chinese-American roots and fine-dining chops in equal measure. This isn’t fusion, it’s heritage. Turned up loud. At a time when Chinese-American cooking’s losing ground in the US, Eric’s bringing it back to life right here in London. Don’t miss your chance to try it here first.

Now and then, the pieces just fall into place and a good dish becomes a great one. Our Summer Greens is one of those. A bright, fresh plate that brings together texture, flavour and a few clever techniques to create something quietly special. Light enough for a warm evening, layered enough to keep you coming back for more. Find it on our à la carte, prix fixe and Let Us Choose menus in the Wine Bar. Best enjoyed outside on our terrace, with a glass of something cold.

@eric.p.huang is back on Charlotte Street, and yes, the chilli fried chicken is still hitting like a love song and a lightning bolt. This week’s @pecking_house residency sold out in record time, but if you missed out, don’t panic. Next week Eric returns with Mama Huang’s — his deeply personal love letter to Chinese-American cuisine, inspired by the family restaurant where it all began, Peking House (no ‘c’). Expect the signature chilli fried chicken, of course, but here it’s joined by banquet-level showstoppers, like ‘Lobster and spinach salad, Grand Marnier sauce’, ‘Ma Po Menudo, avocado, chicken fat rice’ and ‘Grilled snow pea shoots, confit garlic, lemon’. Grab your seat now via the link in bio before these ones fly too.

 Our old pals @chefalexmccoy & @justin.s.ahn return to Carousel with another round of their wildly popular Thai-inspired concept, @alfiesdc. One part pop-up, one part homecoming, Carousel has played host to various residencies from both chefs over the years. It was here on Charlotte Street that the decision to find Alfie’s a permanent home was made, and this time round Alex and Justin are joining us for a whole week of vibrant, punch-you-in-the-face Northern Thai flavours (in a good way…). Expect all the heavy-hitters for another riotous week of bold, beautiful Thai cooking: from ‘Laap muang, venison tartar, betel leaf, viet mint, khao khua, rice paper tostada’ to ‘Braised lamb belly, massaman curry, crispy sunchoke, dried plum & pickled green peppercorns’ and a whole load of that signature Alfie’s heat. You have been warned.

 Every so often, we pull back the curtain on a few bottles that don’t shout for attention but absolutely deserve it. These are the quiet showstoppers—the kind that don’t hang around long, and certainly weren’t made to gather dust in a cellar. Take Domaine Prieuré Roch, for example. Burgundy at its most captivating. A cult name whispered among those who know, and trust us, it’s worth leaning in. We’ve got a handful in the building right now. Ask to see the list next time you’re in. You might just stumble on something special.

Last week we shared with you part 1 of our new No.23 summer menu glow up. This week we’re giving you a behind-the-glass look at another summer smash. This is our take on the Milk Punch, a bright, savoury mix of vodka, tomato, basil and lemon. Clarified for texture, built for summer. Fresh, clean, and quietly addictive. But don’t just take our word for it, come in and try for yourself.

 This week we’ve been lucky enough to host the team from Michelin-starred Chispa Bistro in our guest chef kitchen. All fire and focus, they’ve brought a quiet intensity to the pass, serving plates that are as precise as they are delicious. Their take on flame-led fine dining is truly something special. Here’s Head Chef Juan’s handiwork in a few dishes from the menu: ‘Burnt tomato water, confit tomato, chimichurri oil’, ‘Alistado prawn, clarified banana broth, palo cortado’, and ‘Grilled baby gem lettuce, pistachio praline’. Only a few days left to catch them before they head back to Madrid — don’t miss your chance.

 There’s something special about working with ingredients right in season — when they’re at their best and don’t need much help to shine. Take our Courgette Tagliatelle. We get the good stuff in from @flourishproduce and keep things simple, letting the courgettes do the talking. It’s light, bright and full of flavour — summer on a plate. Available as part of our à la carte or price fixe menu.

 Joining us in the guest chef kitchen this week is young Argentine sensation, Juan D’Onofrio and his team from Chispa Bistro, the Michelin-starred gem turning heads in Madrid. Juan’s built a cult following for his charcoal-led cooking, its fine-dining-for-the-people: thoughtful, generous and quietly bold. This week, he brings that same energy to Charlotte Street — smoky, vibrant and elegantly refined plates straight off the grill. Here, Juan talks us through a few of his dishes; ‘Burnt tomato water, confit tomato, chimichurri oil’, ‘Grilled baby gem lettuce, pistachio praline’ and ‘Veal sweetbreads, beurre blanc and anchovies’. Sensational cooking that sparks to life. Hit the link in our bio and grab your seat at the table while you still can.

Rising star Luke NG is reimagining the classic Hong Kong Tea House - “茶樓” - through a compelling, and delicious, contemporary lens. One of the things we love most about our guest chef series is shining a light on the ones to watch, the rising stars quietly honing their craft in some of the world’s most exciting kitchens. Chefs with something to say, and the skills to back it up. Luke NG is one of those chefs. With stints at Septime* (Paris), Mirazur*** (Menton), Hakkasan* (London) and Kitchen Table** (London), he’s sharpened his tools in some serious kitchens. For us, he’s marrying fine dining finesse with the bold, expressive flavours of his Hong Kong roots. Think ‘Chu hou braised beef brisket croquettes with daikon purée and black garlic gel’ and ‘Wontons in three sauces: carabinero bisque, courgette velouté, miso emulsion’. It’s loud, layered, and full of personality. Trust us – you’ll want to say you were the first to know...

 Last week, Josh gave you the lowdown on our house white. This week, it’s the red’s turn. Made with 100% Montepulciano and hailing from the same Abruzzo co-op as its crisp sibling, our house red is all easy charm and quiet confidence — no frills, just seriously good juice. Perfect to pair with almost any dish on our Wine Bar menu, it’s as versatile as it is delicious, which makes it a bit of a no-brainer. Stayed tuned for more on our list coming soon…

Next week in the guest chef kitchen we’re joined by the Michelin-starred team behind Chispa Bistro. Helmed by the young Argentine-sensation, Juan D’Onofrio, who at just 26 has carved out one of Madrid’s most compelling kitchens. A restaurant that utilises the essence of every ingredient, Juan’s cooking specialises in the oft-overlooked art of the sauce. They’re vividly expressive and pulse with an understated theatricality. Combine that with elegantly paired back and deeply seasonal cooking and you’re onto something truly special. It’s intimate, unflashy, and quietly electric and we can’t wait for you to pull up a chair.
