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. The series runs from this weekend to the end of September. We still have some availability later on in the season, so head to the link in our bio to make a booking.

 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. From May to September, we’ve lined up a roll call of top chefs to take over the lakeside WildKitchen as the sun dips behind the hills. And that’s just the beginning. 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.

 In the kitchen next week: @goldfinch_cph, the buzzing Cantonese spot from @will_king_smith (Geranium***, Mielcke & Hurtigkarl), known for serving up high-quality, ethically sourced Chinese food in Copenhagen, and now, for one week only, in London. On the menu? Big flavours and clever takes like ‘Scallop toast, sesame & coriander chilli oil’, ‘Shrimp & pork wontons, sweetened bean paste’, and ‘Bao, boudin noir, sweetened soy’.

Introducing: The Carousel Exchange Programme. The brainchild of our Head Chef @joselizarralde, the programme taps into our ever-growing network of guest chefs, giving one of their team the chance to spend a week immersed in the kitchen(s) at Carousel, and one of ours the opportunity to see how they do things on the other side. First up, our sous @alejuaritos heads to Michelin-starred @aniargalway, while their sous @gabrielhossani takes his spot here in the kitchen. Stay tuned for the learnings.

 A regular in Latin America’s 50 Best and a genuine game-changer of the Guatemalan gastronomic landscape, @debora_fadul pays homage to the earth through her esoteric cuisine. At @diacagt (‘from here’), she connects her diners with deeper values and meanings — nostalgia, ancestral knowledge, the culture of the land and its farmers. Like her talent, Debora’s passion for her country and its produce knows no bounds. Guatemala, the land of eternal spring, is blessed with mineral-rich volcanic soils that yield produce of an entirely different order. Debora explores the untapped potential of each unexpectedly sweet pepper or salt-kissed fruit, shaping ever-evolving menus of dishes like ‘Lobster stuffed shishito peppers, hazelnuts’, ‘Sea bass ceviche, cascara leche de tigre, peach, cacao mayo’, and ‘BBQ achiote pulled chicken, sardines, green labne, tortillas’. Join us as Debora returns with another week of her trademarked 'cocina explorativa de raíz' philosophy, applied to British produce and naturally infused with the best of her homeland.  You can also catch her cooking at the opening weekend of this summer's Ashcombe Estate x Carousel WildKitchen series. Both experiences you won't soon forget, both links in our bio.

 Last week, @andydoubrava and @tiffani.l.ortiz from @the_catbirdseat took us through some of the knockout dishes on their closed-loop, cross-utilisation strong menu. Theirs was a masterclass in minimising food waste, but by no means minimising flavour. They were only in the kitchen five nights, but Andy and Tiffani left a lasting impression. If you missed it, you’ll have to head to Nashville for round two. Next up on the Carousel? The Georges, AKA @gorka_____ — don’t let this one pass you by.
