Shooting in Holland Park: unit bases and access
Holland Park is about 1 mile north of Kensington, in Greater London. We cover shoots in Holland Park, as well as the surrounding area. Holland Park is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater.
Crew coming by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Kensington Olympia station, about 0.5 miles south-west. Within reach of Holland Park are historic houses such as Leighton House (within half a mile south) and Sambourne House (less than half a mile south-east). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations.
Here we cover the W8, W11 and W14 postcode area, so your shoot can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Dukes Lane, Milson Road and Elsham Road, and a shoot on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
The menu, dish by dish

Questions from Holland Park
Can you do a hog roast in Kensington Palace Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Holland Park?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production.
