How our hog roast hire works in Acton Green
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. We’re often asked to cater milestone birthdays and parties at home, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
London gardens around Acton Green are often small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Acton Green: venues, access and local tips
Acton Green is about 2 miles east of Ealing, in Greater London. Our roaster is a regular sight at events around Acton Green, from gardens to fields. Acton Green is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater. You can also see our page for London, about 7 miles away.
If you had Turnham Green in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. PTAs at schools such as Ark Priory Primary Academy frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days.
Events anywhere in W4, W3 and W2 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. From Meon Road, Kent Road and Bollo Lane or anywhere nearby, we will bring the roaster to you. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Bedford Park (1 mile east), Acton (1 mile north), Acton Vale (1 mile north-east), South Acton (1 mile west) and Hanger Hill (2 miles north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (7 miles east), City of Westminster (5 miles east), Marylebone (5 miles east), Kensington (3 miles east), St Pancras (7 miles east) and Shoreditch (8 miles east).

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which normally keeps the cost down. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book our hog roast in Acton Green
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
FAQs for Acton Green
Can you do a hog roast in Turnham Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Acton Green?
South Acton station, in Acton Green itself.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Acton Green, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
