- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare

If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- A queuing area
As a London location, South 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.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to volunteers cooking, we take the cooking off your volunteers. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

South Acton questions
Could you cook in Gunnersbury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in South Acton has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can visitors buy their own food?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will talk it through.
