Discover Our Guest Chefs
Our open kitchen is home to an ever-changing line-up of talented chefs who share our passion for amazing cooking, friendly service and unique shared experiences. 250 and counting, from over 50 different cities and 30 different countries around the world.
We’re open Tuesdays to Saturdays with a new guest chef joining us every week. We offer a set menu and there’s just one sitting, starting at 7pm. Please let us know of any dietary requirements when you book in.
For the complete Carousel experience, please feel free to join us in the wine bar for drinks beforehand. In fact, we actively encourage it…
Dacha 46 - BROOKLYN, NYC
Since launching Dacha 46 out of their Bed-Stuy apartment in 2020, Trina and Jessica Quinn have fast become NYC’s pop-up power couple. Drawing on their Latvian-Ukrainian Jewish heritage, Dacha 46 is all about breathing new life into classic Eastern European cuisine, scything through lazy misconceptions of the region’s food with a fresh, seasonal approach that spans different centuries, countries and cultures.
Olia Hercules - LONDON
Celebrating the launch of her brilliant new book, Home Food, Olia returns for a fifth spin on the Carousel with a fabulously eclectic menu that brings some rather exciting Central-Asian influences to the party alongside her signature repertoire of vibrant Eastern European flavours.
Alex Haupt - 101 GOWRIE, AMSTERDAM
Alex Haupt is an Australian chef with German and Japanese roots, and the owner of 101 Gowrie, arguably one of the hottest restaurants in Europe right now. Alex was awarded Young Chef of the Year in 2021 by the Michelin Guide to The Netherlands, deserved recognition for his innovative ‘gaijin’ cuisine: a celebration of cultural diversity through Japanese traditions and techniques, “with a respectful disregard for the rules of regular convention”. Alex joins us for one night only.
Emme Prieto - MEXICO CITY
Our main man from Mexico City returns showcasing some of the electric flavours that have made Mesa Nomada one of the Mexican capital’s hottest culinary exports. Featuring the likes of 'esquites with guajillo aioli, queso fresco and lime zest', Emme’s first residency with us sold out in minutes, so don’t hang about if you want to guarantee yourself a seat.
Gift Cards -
With an ever-changing line-up of big name chefs from around the world, workshops and masterclasses, no two days at Carousel are ever the same. A Carousel gift card unlocks all of these and comes with a guarantee from us that whatever the lucky recipient ends up going for, it promises to be pretty damn awesome.

From bona fide legends to the superstars of tomorrow, each week we welcome a new chef into the Carousel family.
Chef Stories
Wild – A State of Mind
Here we reflect on the endless creative possibilities of wild ingredients with The Botanist and their crew of foraging chefs.
Our collaboration with The Botanist opens up the Carousel kitchen to some of the most talented forager-chefs from around the British Isles who use ingredients like these as we might use salt and pepper. As well as introducing you to some surprising and unexpected flavours, together we hope to illustrate that there is opportunity and inspiration everywhere, in every city park and along every country lane. A drink need never be the same again, and that’s something well worth raising a glass to.
