Carousel's 10th Birthday

15th – 19th October

To mark ten years of guest chef residencies, we’ve invited a few of our favourites from over the years to join us for a weeklong kitchen party. We’ll be cooking with a different friend every night, so it’ll be like Carousel, only more “ADHD” (credit: YouTube). Come and celebrate with us as we reflect on 350 residencies and a lifetime of negronis memories.

tuesday 15th
CHUCK’S NYC
MILAN, ROME, PARIS, MADRID
First up it’s the return of smashburger supernova, Chuck George. If you experienced the ‘no modifications’ magic of Chuck’s NYC in No. 23 earlier this year, you’ll know what all the fuss is about. “Burgers so good we eat them ourselves”… You’re damn right we do.

wednesday 16th
SOKUNTHEAR VONG
PARIS
Sok is Carousel family. Our one-time junior sous is busy opening a place of his own in Paris, where his “off the cuff” bistronomie has earnt a genuine cult following at Aux Deux Amis and a string of sell-out pop-ups. Weaving in his Cambodian heritage, dishes like ‘KFC Sweetbread’ have put Sok on a path to superstardom.

thursday 17th
CLOSED FOR A STAFF PARTY

friday 18th
SPECIAL GUEST
We launched our first pop-up with a ‘secret location’. This may or may not have meant that we didn’t actually have a location when tickets went on sale, but the rest is history. Read into this what you will but know this: special means special, and you’re in for a treat.

saturday 19th
OLIA HERCULES
LONDON
We couldn’t have a party without Olia. Back in 2025, we celebrated the release of Mamushka with an unforgettable Ukrainian sharing feast. Nine years on and our dear friend returns to showcase the very best of her homeland in all its “authentic, modern, fun and crazy” glory. Slava Ukraini!
