Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Chalk Farm hosts choose us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A named contact for the day
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
As a London location, Chalk Farm is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Daytime open days in Chalk Farm are rarely affected by light, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day
