Le Chateau Cochon Supper Club 30th May

THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT

Ladies and gentleman we are very happy to announce that we will be running Le Chateau Cochon Supper Club on the 30th May!

Head over here to find out more.

Five courses with wine pairing right here in Camden Town. Boooom!

The Sausage Roll Laboratory at the Collective Launch Party

Les Greedy Cochons were recently asked to help cater the launch party for the Camden-based creative hub Collective.

We of course jumped at the chance and got thinking about what we could prepare. We settled quite quickly on the idea of sausage rolls (a great favourite of Mr. Greedy Cochon), but of course they had to be something a bit special. We weren't about to whip up your hum-drum, mass produced, boring old sausage rolls. Oh no! These were going to be based on English classics, from Scotch Eggs to Stilton, we wanted it all.

Presenting - The Sausage Roll Laboratory, five different types of sausage rolls for your epicurean pleasure.

Check out our pictures below and some snaps of the event itself, including a peek at the delicious canapés prepared by our joint caterers Dirty Apron (more on those lovely ladies at a later date).

Above is our trusty timer that made sure that none of the sausage rolls got burnt, and below is the logo that we came up with for the Laboratory.

Review: The Crown and Goose on Arlington Road

The Crown and Goose is a real gem in Camden Town that despite being very central is often overlooked. Don't get me wrong, this pub is certainly buzzing at peak times, but is still relatively unknown by a lot of Camdenites.

Review: La Petite Poissonnerie Primrose Hill Fishmongers

Any chef worth his weight knows that to make good food you need good products. Unfortunately, the old 'Butcher, Baker, Candlestick maker' days of the British high street have long gone, making those good products all the harder to find, but luckily in Camden you don't have to venture to far to find what you need.

At least not where fish is concerned.

Review: The Battersea Pie Station in Camden Market

Few things are better on a cold and blustering day than some good old British comfort food. With that in mind, us Greedy Cochons wrapped ourselves up in our scarves and gloves and headed to Camden Market.

In the area next to Proud galleries, nestled between the Mexican burrito stands and the Moroccan lamp stalls stands the Battersea Pie Station.

This stall is a shoot off of the larger, more central shop in Covent Garden and as such has a slightly smaller menu, but all the classics you could want to warm your cockles.

I had the Chicken and Mushroom pie with mash and gravy and Mr. Greedy Cochon plumped for the steak and ale with mash and pie liquor, yum!

You can see the full menu over on their website here.

Review : Kerb at Kings Cross

Last night, Mr. Greedy Cochon and I headed over to the newly developed area of King's Cross next to Central Saint Martins for the launch party of Kerb.

Kerb is the new collection of street food vendors that has replaced Eat Street. It's open Mondays-Fridays from 11am-2:30pm. If you're in the area it's well worth checking out, last night there was a huge choice of food from the like of The Rib Man, Pizza Pilgrims, Yum Bun and loads more.

To find out who is around you can follow them on Twitter or head over to their website.

Review : The Colonel Fawcett Pub

At the beginning of September, the Colonel Fawcett celebrated it's 1st birthday since it's grand opening back in 2011 and my what a year it's been. There have been secret concerts, comedy gigs, birthday bashes and gin galore, but mostly there has been great, delicious, traditional pub food.

Review : Breakfast at Camden Bar & Kitchen

Mr. Greedy Cochon and I have been searching a good fry-up in Camden for a while. In fact, at one point we had even given up entirely and settled for the ubiquitous Wetherspoon, up until we saw a huge rat scuttling about inside.

So we are happy to say that after having it on our 'to do' list for a while, we finally found the time to head over to Camden Bar & Kitchen to sample their fabulous breakfast offerings. Verdict - we have found a winner.

Review : Camden Market Ala Turko Kebabs

There are few things better about living in Camden than strolling over to the market to grab something to eat. However, you do have to make sure you don't fall into the tourist trap of the hundreds of Chinese stands pumping out stale, mass produced food that will leave you unsatisfied and hungry.

Head instead over to the West Yard in Camden Lock Market, where all the best food is hidden. In amongst these stalls lies the mini-food paradise that is Ala Turko Kebabs.

Recipe : Chorizo Bread

This is a great recipe for Chorizo bread that is simple and quick to make. Perfect wit a nice hunk of cheese, for making your sandwiches a little more interesting or simply for slathering in salty butter. Yum!

Review : Goat's Cheese Salad at The Blues Kitchen

Ok, so normally I wouldn't post a review for just one dish but I have to make an exception for this one. I am totally addicted to Goat's cheese... seriously... I do not understand people who don't like goat's cheese. I especially love Goat's cheese salad.

Recipe : The Camden Stuffed Marrow

This little recipe is one that was taught to Mr. Greedy Cochon in the best way possible, by his Mum. He has decided to share it with you today, enjoy!

Review : Sunday Roast at the Lock Tavern

Chances are if you live in or around Camden then you have heard of the Lock Tavern. It is by far one of Camden's coolest pubs, often showcasing up-and-coming DJ's and new indie groups that only your most hipsterific friends have heard of.

The pub in itself has a relaxed shabby-chic vibe inside, plus there is a heated beer garden out the back AND a roof terrace.

Review : Namaaste Kitchen Camden

Nestled amongst the pubs, estate agents and pet shops of Parkway in Camden Town is the fantastic little Indian restaurant called Namaaste Kitchen. 

Review : Yumchaa Loose Leaf Tea House

The Yumchaa on Parkway is one of our favourite places in Camden to go for a nice cup of tea or coffee and a little something sweet. 

Review : Chin Chin Labs

Chin chin labs is undeniably one of the coolest places in Camden, sorry for the lousy pun, but there really is no other way of describing it. When you first walk inside you feel as though you have stepped into the laboratory of a mad scientist, which in a way - you have.

Review : Goodfare Italian Restaurant

Goodfare Italian Restaurant is a great pizza place on Parkway right smack bang in the middle of Camden Town.
