Being Boiled Summer Feast

An evening at Opera Holland Park is always a treat but this summer you can make your visit even more memorable by joining in a unique culinary experience before the performance. Sara Sjölund, founder of Being Boiled, one of London’s most exciting supper clubs, is inviting just 30 people to a pre-opera feast and wine-tasting to be held in the stunning surroundings of the Dutch Garden on Saturday 23 June (Lucia di Lammermoor) and Saturday 21 July (Yevgeny Onegin). The evening begins at 5.30pm so bring your appetite!

Sara is originally from Sweden but draws her influences from the culinary capitals she has lived in including San Francisco, Beijing and New York. She started Being Boiled after moving to London, with the aim of creating an intimate dining experience by offering delicious seasonal cooking and exceptional wines amid some inspiring settings in the various “pop-up” locations where she hosts her events. At Opera Holland Park, guests will be able to enjoy a glass of Prosecco in the Dutch Garden before sitting down at our beautifully-dressed tables, created by set-designer Linnea Apelqvist, where they will be treated to a hearty selection of Sara’s delicious summer-inspired dishes.

As a part of the package, guests will be able to sample a number of wines selected by Isabelle Legeron, the first woman to ever be awarded the prestigious Master of Wine title in France. Isabelle’s specialty is fine natural wine that has been sustainably grown and is free from additives or preservatives. Her many projects include composing an all-natural wine list for the two-Michelin-starred restaurant Hibiscus, and hosting her own wine programme on TV.

Sara will also be joined by Ole Hansen, Chief Smoker at the Hansen-Lydersen salmon smokery in Stoke Newington. He supplies his exquisite salmon to several top restaurants in London, as well as the Norwegian Embassy. Ole will be treating diners to tastings of his wide range of wild, hand-cured salmon.
