Questions from Acton
Can you do a hog roast in Ealing Common?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Acton?
Acton has its own station: Acton Central station.
What about Christmas markets?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Send us the details.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can the food be served indoors?
We cook outside, but can typically serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Acton and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Christmas hog roast in Acton, carved to order
Swap the set menu for a hog roast at your Christmas party in Acton: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. We are often asked to cater december open days and end-of-year team celebrations, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
For Christmas parties in Acton, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. In London, access needs planning. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Sunset in Acton in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Light by the serving table
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:

Ask about gluten-free rolls.
