What affects the price in Acton

- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us

- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Questions from Acton
Which station is closest to Acton?
Acton has its own station: Acton Central station.
Could you cook in Ealing Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal is not offered
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Space for people to queue
As a London location, Acton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
