Lee Westcott

13th – 17th September

Lee Westcott has long been regarded as one of the UK’s most talented chefs, with a laundry list of accolades to prove it. 

Starting early, Lee moved to the big smoke at the age of sixteen to work for the Galvin Brothers, before going on to perfect his craft in some of the world’s best kitchens, including Restaurant Tom Aikens** (London) Per Se*** (New York) and Noma** (Copenhagen). But it was his time as head chef at the Typing Room in Bethnal Green’s Town Hall Hotel that Lee really made his mark, earning rave reviews from the likes of Fay Maschler, Marina O’Loughlin and Andy Hayler for his refreshingly modern approach that put vegetables centre stage.

After four successful years at the helm, Lee moved out to the countryside to open Pensons on the Herefordshire-Worcestershire border. Building strong relationships with local producers and gamekeepers, Lee and his team took full advantage of being able to grow much of their own fruit, herbs and vegetables. Within seven months, they had achieved a Michelin star.

Lee is now back in the city where his heart lies to focus on a new venture. But first, he returns to Carousel for a second time with an exclusive preview menu…
