Now that’s what you call meals on wheels!

- By Susie Coen and Ray Massey

WITH a rotisserie, a pasta maker and a slow cooker, it sounds like a modern kitchen. But these gadets are, in fact, part of a bespoke Jaguar Land Rover.

The company customised the car for Jamie Oliver, meaning the chef can grill a chicken, churn 15 litres of butter and ice-cream and make two slices of toast from the 4X4.

The toaster is beween the front seats – and at the push of a button, a selection of jams pop out from the dashboard. Oliver’s Land Rover Discovery, which normally sells for £45,000, is thought to cost around £150,000 with the upgrades which include a slow cooker under the bonnet (heated by the engine) and a barbecue.

The rotisserie, which extends 5ft from the front grille, is powered by an electric motor and doubles up as a pasta cutter, while a 5ft worktop which pulls out from the rear includes an aluminium sink, dual gas hobs and even a fold-out flat screen TV. There are olive oil and vinegar dispensers integrated into the lighting controls in the boot, while the butter and ice cream churners are fitted to the wheels and rotate as the car moves.

Father-of-five Oliver said his favourite part is the toaster. ‘The smell of toast on the school run is amazing,’ he said.

Jaguar said it was able to create a range of specialist modificati­ons to its vehicles.
