About our Christmas hog roast in Chalk Farm
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. There are options for people who do not eat pork. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for december open days and sports club Christmas do’s.
In Chalk Farm, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Chalk Farm questions
What if our house in Chalk Farm has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Primrose Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Christmas parties in Chalk Farm are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. The cooking area is lit; tell us about lighting on the way to it.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
