Welcome to Holy Carrot
Holy Carrot is the London destination for creative, vegetable forward dining.
We have two sites, one nestled in the heart of Notting Hill and the other amongst the hum of the city in East London’s Spitalfields. Soon to open in March 2026.
Executive Chef Daniel Watkins' culinary philosophy centres on the transformative power of fire and fermentation, which we use to unlock incredible depths of flavour in vegetable-forward dishes, using ingredients from a trusted network of local suppliers who share our values.
We believe that sustainable dining can be both flavoursome and fashionable - which is why we’ve crafted spaces which feel individual and informed by their surroundings. Both sites are designed for enjoying life’s pleasures: good food, great wine, and even better company. We can’t wait to welcome you.

Live Fire Cooking
Chef Daniel Watkins brings a mastery of live fire cookery to Holy Carrot, a philosophy developed over his career and perfected at Dalston’s ACME Fire Cult. His approach goes beyond mere grilling; requiring instinct and skill to transform vegetables over coals. The menu at Holy Carrot demonstrates the endless possibilities of cooking with fire, proving that a produce-led, sustainable menu can be incredibly rich in flavour and creativity, making live fire the star of the show.
Fermentation "Cave"
Working with partners like Natoora, Jenki, and I am Nut OK, the Holy Carrot fermentation lab is a testament to the team’s use-don't-waste ethos.
By transforming kitchen by-products into new ingredients, they not only work towards a near-zero waste kitchen but also unlock intense, new flavours. Central to the restaurant's ethos, ensuring nothing is discarded and every ingredient is celebrated.
Every part of the very best seasonal vegetables
Our commitment to sustainability begins with our network of small-scale vegetable producers. Chef Daniel Watkins has cultivated long-lasting relationships with passionate growers who share our values and ethos. This gives us exclusive access to small, carefully grown organic ingredients and in return we make sure nothing goes to waste. It is a partnership built on mutual respect and a shared passion for a more sustainable food system.
