After seven happy years in Marylebone, we opened on Charlotte Street in November 2021, since then, we've added our contemporary Mexican seafood restaurant, Cometa, to our revolving guest chef line-up. Meanwhile, upstairs, we have two stylish event spaces with a combined capacity of 200+ guests. Here we offer top-notch food and drink and creative in-house production for a non-stop rotation of big name brands from Penguin to Instagram. And last but not least, next door in No. 23, you’ll find our very own 23-seater cocktail bar boasting a compelling offering of imaginative drinks and Chuck's peerless smashburgers.No two days here are ever the same, but whatever you’re coming to at Carousel, you’ll find quality produce sourced from ethically-minded UK farmers, foragers and fishermen; warm and friendly service; and a carefully curated line-up of unique experiences that you won’t find anywhere else in London.
