Just like Batman Returns, 45 Park Lane’s heroic executive chef Elliott Grover is back in Hollywood to cook three signature British dishes to be savoured at the annual Governors Ball in Los Angeles.
The 2024 Dishes
Joining Wolfgang during his 30th year cooking at the biggest night in cinema, Elliott’s dishes will include; roast beef with a wagyu roasted Yorkshire pudding, creamed horseradish and watercress, a prawn cocktail roll with beluga caviar and Marie Rose sauce as well as native lobster ‘fish and chips’ with a spicy tartare sauce and triple cooked chips.
The 2024 Oscars menu will be served after the main ceremony at The Governor’s Ball, and Elliott has created another British-inspired menu for the event. There are many logistical things to consider to prepare for the dinner, from crockery to the finest ingredients to cater to 400 hungry guests in Los Angeles. Every single dish has a detailed specification, and preparation is key.

Bringing Hollywood to 45 Park Lane with Andy Gotts
In London, 45 Park Lane is celebrating the star-studded moment by bringing Hollywood to its guests with a very special art exhibition by celebrity photographer Andy Gotts. The exclusive exhibition named “…and the winner is…” presents a unique celebration of the film award season. Running to 16 May 2024, Gotts will invite art and film enthusiasts to explore his curated selection of portraits, capturing the essence of actors who have garnered acclaim from prestigious awards in cinema.
What if you can’t make it to Hollywood?
Elliott’s menu will be available to experience in London exclusively at 45 Park Lane until 1 April 2024, served in BAR 45 alongside a specially crafted cocktail created by dynamic bar duo Enrico Perri and Mario Gualtieri, the Ben Affleck and Matt Damon of 45 Park Lane. Aptly named ‘And The Winner Is…’ this cocktail is made up of Campari infused with delicately pickled red pepper, sweet vermouth, clementine liquor infused with Kaffir lime leaves and topped with champagne. So delicate, refreshing and Oscar-worthy with an edible powdered Hollywood curtain garnish unveiling the cocktail.
Elliott Grover joined 45 Park Lane in 2022 as executive chef, overseeing the culinary direction of the hotel including Wolfgang Puck’s famed restaurant CUT at 45 Park Lane. Speaking on the Governors Ball dishes, Elliott said: “I am incredibly honoured to be bringing classic British dishes to Hollywood for a second year with Wolfgang, especially celebrating his 30th year cooking for the awards. And to present the dishes here at 45 Park Lane alongside Andy’s incredible photography will be sure to bring a taste of LA to London.”
