Event catering in Acton
How our event catering works in Acton
Some caterers need a kitchen; we bring our own cooking to you. That means almost any outdoor space in Acton can work, as long as there is a way in for our equipment. We serve rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and pulled pork, and we’re often booked for milestone birthdays and weddings.
In Acton, we cater in gardens, yards, playgrounds and office courtyards. With neighbours close by, we pick a spot that keeps smoke and heat away from windows. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you can enjoy the event.

Acton questions
Could you cook in Ealing Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Acton?
Acton Central station, in Acton itself.
Do you cater weddings and work events?
Most kinds: from garden parties to corporate days. Let us know the occasion.
Do you need a kitchen at the venue?
Not at all. Everything is cooked outdoors on site, so gardens, fields and car parks all work.
Can you do halal?
We do not. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes: we’ll liaise with the venue on access and set-up.
Do you cater indoors?
We always cook outside, though guests can eat inside if the venue is happy.
Event catering in Acton: what to know
Acton is about 3 miles west of Kensington, in Greater London. We cover Acton and its neighbours for events. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Acton to London (7 miles away).
Historic houses near Acton include Gunnersbury Park (1.4 miles south-west) and Hogarth's House (1.6 miles south). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for outside caterers, so ask before booking. A club or centre near Acton with a terrace or field can be a good venue.
Events anywhere in W3, W4, NW10 and W12 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. From High Street, Church Road and Woodhurst Road or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. You’ll find Acton on the B490 and A4000, which makes the journey straightforward. If your venue is just outside Acton, we also cover Ealing (2 miles west), Harlesden (2 miles north-east), Notting Dale (2 miles east), Fulham (3 miles south-east) and Kensington (3 miles east). We also serve nearby towns such as London (7 miles east), City of Westminster (5 miles east), Marylebone (5 miles east), St Pancras (6 miles east), Shoreditch (8 miles east) and Walthamstow (12 miles north-east).

Is our catering right for your event?
Next to catering it yourself, you get your day back, and the food is in professional hands. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- An itemised quote

What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A level, open spot outdoors to cook
As a London location, Acton 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.

Step by step
We arrive with everything we need to cook and serve, and set up on the spot we agreed. Then we cook to your timings. In Acton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so most summer events eat in daylight. By late December, sunset is about 3:55pm.
- First, you send us the occasion, date, venue and numbers.
- We recommend a menu and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef cooks and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
