Planning for dietary needs

You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:

  • Make the stall easy to find
  • Stuffing normally contains gluten
  • Put the menu and allergen information on display
  • Halal isn’t offered

We carve to order through the agreed hours.

A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.

Working with your venue

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

A hog roast or other catering?

Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Why book with us

  • Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
  • Crackling for everyone who wants it
  • Serving and clearing done for you
  • Carved by our chef in front of your visitors

Take a look at how we price or the cost guide.

A closer look at the menu

Stuffing and apple sauce

Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.

Questions from Chalk Farm

Do you trade at school fairs around Chalk Farm?

Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.

What’s the nearest station to Chalk Farm?

Chalk Farm has its own station: Kentish Town West station.

Is crockery included?

We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Do you do fêtes?

We love fêtes. Ask for details.

How long does the roast need?

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Does the roaster have to be outside?

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.

Will there be enough to go round?

Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

Space, access and the venue

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • A firm way on and off the field
  • A level pitch
  • Space away from marquees, stalls 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.

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the day works

The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Summer events in Chalk Farm have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

  1. Start with the date and numbers.
  2. We discuss the package or stall options.
  3. We roast on the pitch.
  4. We serve rolls quickly.
  5. We tidy the pitch.

Before we arrive

  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
  • Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
  • Think about shelter for your visitors
