Acton Green questions
Can you do a hog roast in Turnham Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Acton Green?
Frequently, 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.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you serve on plates?
We will serve however suits your residents.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Where will the roaster go?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access and away from opening windows.
