Artisanal cheese fondue followed by Love Actually under the stars? This winter, Kitchen at Holmes and the Holmes Hotel is partnering with acclaimed Marylebone cheesemonger La Fromagerie for an exclusive rooftop Christmas cinema experience. Running from 26th November to 20th December, the limited-series collaboration pairs Alpine fondue, festive Glühwein and much-loved Christmas films, bringing together one of London’s most respected cheese specialists with one of the capital’s most intimate winter cinema settings.

Part of a wider winter alpine takeover at Holmes Hotel, the experience begins beneath the glow of the restaurant’s outdoor heated terrace. A warming glass of Glühwein is followed by a bubbling cheese fondue made with Comté and Beaufort cheeses from La Fromagerie Marylebone, served with olive oil focaccia, cornichon, baby new potatoes and Bayonne ham for dipping. A classic dessert and treats will be waiting for guests as they make their way up to the hotel’s alpine rooftop hideaway for the film.

Transformed with soft twinkling lights and faux-fur throws, six individual wooden booths set the scene for one of London’s most intimate and magical cinema experiences. Cosy up beneath the stars with a selection of movie snacks and unwind to much-loved Christmas classics, including Bridget Jones’s Diary, Love Actually, Last Christmas and The Grinch. Austrian craft beers and selection of additional drinks and snacks will be available to purchase throughout the screenings.

Sunday afternoons are dedicated to family-friendly screenings, with comfy bean bags for little ones, alongside a line-up that includes Home Alone, Elf and The Polar Express.

Running from Thursday to Sunday, with afternoon and evening screenings available, the rooftop cinema is priced at £75 per adult, inclusive of the cheese fondue experience, two glasses of Glühwein, your surprise dessert, along with the film screening. Tickets are available now here.

A celebration of Alpine flavours, festive films and cosy rooftop charm, the Holmes Hotel x La Fromagerie cinema series promises a magical winter escape, bringing a little taste of the mountains to the heart of Marylebone this Christmas.
