Anyway - what should I be using to fill the holes?

Good old polyfilla or similar.

Is there any special or recommended technique?

Make it up pretty stiff, a hole that size will allow a sloppy mixture to
slump. Treat a bit like plaster, when almost but not quite set, wet the
surface and polish flush and smooth with a trowel. This avoids any dusty
sanding down and feathers the edges nicely.

Making good the finish might be the hardest part, particulary if the wall
is papered rather than painted.
