Slow-roasted pork in Chalk Farm
Wedding hog roast near Chalk Farm
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Chalk Farm suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Popular choices include crackling, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater small, informal weddings and weddings in a family garden.
Couples in Chalk Farm frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Which station is closest to Chalk Farm?
Kentish Town West station, in Chalk Farm itself.
Can you do a hog roast in Primrose Hill?

Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.

What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A serving area close to where guests eat
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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What we serve, dish by dish

Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.

Other occasions in Chalk Farm
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Winter weddings in Chalk Farm are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your guests
