Chef and TV personality Jamie Oliver has teamed up with Jaguar Land Rover to build the ultimate kitchen on wheels. His bespoke Land Rover Discovery comes loaded with cooking gear — a slow-cooker, a barbecue, an ice cream maker, an olive oil dispenser, and even a butter churner that works as you drive.
Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) team worked with Jamie, a lifelong Land Rover fan, to bring his vision to life. The result is one of a kind. It’s the only Discovery in the world with a toaster in the centre console and a rotisserie driven off the power take-off.
Other features include a slow-cooker mounted beside the engine, a pasta maker, a gas hob, and a deployable dining table and worktop. There’s even a herb garden and spice rack built into the rear windows.
Jamie Oliver said: “I gave Land Rover a massive challenge to create the ultimate kitchen on wheels. I dreamt big and asked for a lot, and what they’ve done has blown my mind. I didn’t think they’d actually be able to put a slow-cooker next to the engine and an olive oil dispenser in the boot, but they did. The result is an amazing Discovery, tailored perfectly for me and the family – we love it. This unique creation means we can take our culinary adventures to the next level.”
The SVO team prides itself on making the impossible happen. So they were only too happy to help bring Jamie’s ideas to life.
David Fairbairn, Head of Bespoke at SVO, said: “As a team, we never imagined we would be asked to produce wheels that churn butter so it has been great fun working alongside Jamie to bring his vision to life. He really wanted to push the boundaries of what was possible with this versatile vehicle and the team fully embraced the challenge.
“Discovery helps our customers make every day an adventure, and this special vehicle will give Jamie and his family the chance to cook amazing meals anywhere they want to. The Bespoke team was created by SVO to enable us to really understand our most discerning clients’ needs, so we can tailor vehicles to suit their lifestyle.”
The Discovery offers up to 2,500 litres of luggage space, plus clever storage built for modern family life. That made it the perfect vehicle for SVO to modify. There’s room for a custom-made aluminium sink, a flat screen TV, and a deployable kitchen worktop that doubles as a dining table. Further touches include a spice drawer, a bespoke pestle and mortar, and a Land Rover barbecue.
Jamie’s three-part series on his Food Tube channel details the build process and shows him cooking for his family with the bespoke Discovery. The first episode went live on Thursday 5 October — click here to watch.
