We’ve been here about 8 times (and to one of their events at the Tate Modern). Really solid food and service most of the time, on occasion when there has been slip ups the management were very responsive. Strongly recommend a visit here :)

Very interesting and flavourful dinner experience cooked by the King Kong Lady chef. With the most amazing wine suggestion by the sommelier we tried some organic and natural wines that had very interesting and different aromas. Overall we loved the experience, definitely going back soon More...

Been here for lunch many times and at every visit Carousel’s in-house chefs have triumphed. They offer a really great selection of innovative and seasonal yet hearty dishes on their menu. Oh and their in-house sourdough is the best bread I’ve ever tasted!My favourite thing about this place is that they offer a chef’s menu called ‘let us choose’ where the perfect balance and number of dishes come from the kitchen. The front of house team are friendly, approachable and really know their stuff about food & wine. Although there is also an awesome selection of non-alcoholic drinks (my favourite is the ginger and tumeric tonic). More...

Gorgeous Venue! Very industrial and quirky. As musician playing here though the room is very very echoey and so it makes the sound very muddy. But lovely staff and great vibe!

What I loved about this eclectic restaurant was that it gives you a completely different food experience. My dinner was French with a Vietnamese twist. Not that's not something you try everyday. The food was lift and tasty. I don't eat much but didn't feel heavy or bloated and even after several courses had space for more. They have visiting chefs every 2 weeks and it's something that's part of the London dining scene these days. So it's a definite for the London experience list. The absolute topping was getting to hear from the chef about her vision on what she was preparing for her guests. Most interestingly the experience was very reasonably priced. More...

Great concept to bring chefs to London, friendly, helpful and efficient staff and service, and food anything but ordinary and prepared to take risks.

Thank you Carousel for giving us this amazing opportunity to run our event at your absolutely fabulous venue.
When I entered the Carousel Space I already new that this is the place where we should run our event.
I really appreciate your professionalism, responsiveness, willingness to assist in the implementation of ideas.
We really enjoyed the atmosphere and definitely would recommend your place.

I visited Carousel on Saturday 31st March and had a fantastic experience. The service was wonderful and the food by Esra Muslu was outstanding (and came in abundance- we did not leave hungry).
I am a vegetarian and mentioned this at the time of booking. I was well catered for, and each alternative dish was clearly explained as it was served to me.
We also each had a cocktail- these were all delicious- as well as two lovely bottles of red.
All in all, it was a fantastic night and we all throughly enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. We will be returning.
Also, just wanted to give a special mention to Matt who really looked after us. Thank you again for a lovely evening!

Probably my expectation was too high, but the dish tastes pretty similar in the way they treat similar materials. Also idk if it’s always like this but during lunch time the staff seems to be very busy even without many customers, making the serving really, I mean really, slow. I’d rather they serve each dish individually rather than bringing them altogether at once and taking forever to make. Good quality food indeed tho. More...

Great if you got for the 'Just give me a selection' option, not bad for other menu items but you'll feel like you missed out. Excellent desserts.

They have different guest chiefs so plan ahead and then book. They make careful and astute choices so you really won't be disappointed. There's usually a set menu and everyone across the restaurant is served at the same time. Worth going. A real treat. More...

Great space, very relaxed and a patio at the back for outdoor drinks. Not crowded like most places in the area, would definitely recommend for a bottle of wine and some interesting small dishes.

Different chefs are invited to prepare dinner every week (lunch is care of the house team). Communal tables. The staff are really professional, smiling and prepared to explain every dish while sharing a joke. The bar is tended by a good and inventive mixologist, cocktails are recommended. The sommelier is both professional and fun (she explained the sakes of the sake pairing with perfect knowledge, wit and care). More...

Had the good fortune to sample Autumn by Carousel. This comprised a six course feast accompanied by delicious wines. The food was superb- my favourite being the Roasted Isle of Mull Scallop, Almond and Garlic purée, Parsley and Bread crumbs.
I honestly thought I had never tasted anything so delicious. Perfect wines were offered to accompany each course and wow do they know what they are talking about.
The waiting staff were so knowledgeable.
We ended our meal with a Pear Raw Milk Ice Cream, Whey Caramel and lemon Verbena accompanied by a glass of BlackdownVermouth. All I can say is the whole experience was out of this world. Carousel is innovative, friendly and fun. We could not fault it. Go and check it out you will not be disappointed!

A great space hosting local and international top quality chef residencies and other interesting sensory experiences like wine tasting, yoga club with lunch, candle making and more besides.
For the dinners, guests are all seated and served at once. Everything is extremely well organised and coordinated. Drinks on offer are all carefully curated and well made to order as extra.
A super alternative to eating out that offers a chance to have a multi-course meal made by a celeb chef.
