Event catering in Holland Park, served hot
We cater weddings, parties, staff days and community events across Holland Park. We adapt the menu to the event, but it’s always cooked on site and served by our team. We are frequently asked to cater staff days and client events and work Christmas parties, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and pulled pork.
Events in Holland Park range from back-garden birthdays to office courtyards and school fairs. With neighbours close by, we pick a spot that keeps smoke and heat away from windows. Our staff serve and clear, so you can enjoy the event.

What happens on the day
We set up under cover where we agreed, well before food time. With a hog roast we start early; with a barbecue we cook as people eat. Late May in Holland Park has light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer until about 9:20pm, which gives summer events long evenings.

Choosing caterers near Holland Park
Holland Park is about 1 mile north of Kensington, in Greater London. We cover Holland Park and its neighbours for events. Holland Park is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
PTAs at schools like Holland Park School frequently look for hot food for fundraisers. Planning an event in Kensington Palace Green? Any cooking there needs the landowner’s permission, normally the council’s.
Wherever your event is in W8, W11 and W14, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Dukes Lane, Milson Road and Elsham Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Holland Park is on the A402 and A4204, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. If your venue is just outside Holland Park, we also cover Kensington (1 mile south), Notting Hill (1 mile north), Westbourne (1 mile north), West Brompton (1 mile south) and Westbourne Green (1 mile north-east).

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Space to serve as well as cook
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
As a London location, Holland Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Looking after everyone

- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
On the day, we arrive in good time and set up under cover, where we agreed with you or the venue.
Add sides for a proper meal.

FAQs for Holland Park
Could you cook in Kensington Palace Green?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What if our house in Holland Park has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Hog roast or BBQ: which is better?
A hog roast is the showpiece; a barbecue offers more choice. Many bigger events have both.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Can we have something other than a hog roast?
No: there’s a full barbecue menu as well, with vegetarian and vegan options on each.
Do you do small parties?
Send us the date and rough numbers and we’ll suggest the right menu.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Which occasions do you cover?
Weddings, birthdays and garden parties, staff days, Christmas parties, fêtes and school events, wakes, care homes and film sets.
Is our catering right for your event?
Next to a sit-down dinner, our food is relaxed and generous, though plates and sides make it a proper meal. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
