🙂 4/5 - As a friend of mine is working front of house at Carousel

As a friend of mine is working front of house at Carousel currently I got a great tip to come try Mathieu Perez of Percherons. Carousel showcases different chefs every couple of weeks and Mathieu is there to 20th November for lunch and dinner sittings.The restaurant was sparely decorated with large supper club sharing tables, dressed with roses and lots of gleaming glassware.The menu for the evening featured crispy pork belly as the star - we can vouch first hand that Mathieu uses a blow torch to crisp up the pork belly (he set the smoke alarm off!)The deal is 4 courses for £35 plus service, with drinks extra, including £22 for the paired wines. The style is supper club - so whilst you don't need to talk to your neighbours, you'll likely be sharing one of the large tables with others and dinner service starts at 7 for 7.30 first course.I stuck to water and the aperitif of a pseudo Negroni using Grey Goose vodka - Nudge members get the cocktail for free with their membership!We saw the bread coming out of the kitchen - warm from the oven, great sourdough with olive oil to dip - yum! The first course was turnip - I know that my Grandad would have said something about feeding turnips to horses, but feeding it to me with the oyster mushroom jus and salted radish was fine. The seaweed added another texture to the dish - the mushroom sauce was sublime!The squid ink pasta risotto, whilst a black dollop and not too photogenic, was full of flavour - I'm now inspired to try making a pasta risotto myself, although I may forgo the squid ink at home - it looks like it would stain....But I think my favourite dish was the octopus with heritage beetroot - perfectly cooked octopus with a flavourful sear on the outside and one of my favourite veggies in three different colours.Sarah and I decided to share the special extra course of miso beef cheeks with Brussels - I'm not sure the miso flavour came through, but it was a good dish netherless. Sharing was a good idea as 5 courses each would have been a lot of food (especially with that great addictive bread alongside!)Then the star of the show, the crispy pork belly with classic cauliflower purée and not so classic pickled celery leaves and clementine, this all worked wonderfully well together and I can vouch for that blow torched crackling being worth the smoke alarm!The most unusual dish though was the dessert.....Creamed corn with Stilton and pastry. The strong flavour from the Stilton worked really well with the creamed corn and the pastry added texture - so unusual but actually surprisingly good!Sarah had the matching wines with the meal - all natural wines and lot of them very young (2015!). Not for everyone, but worth trying, the match of the minerally wine and the creamed corn course was great, it really cut through the strong Stilton.Get down to Carousel ASAP if you want to try similar from Mathieu - check out their website for future pop ups too, it's a Carousel of talent with a new chef featured every couple of weeks :)
