Acton Vale questions
Could you cook in Wormholt Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Acton Vale?
Acton Central station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is electricity needed?
Mainly a pitch and access. Everything else comes with us.
Do you do fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How we price a hog roast for your event
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
