Hog roast hire for your event in South Acton
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. On the menu are hog roast rolls, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for milestone birthdays and christmas fairs.
Gardens in South Acton tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
South Acton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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’ll advise before you book.

How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. Around midsummer it stays light in South Acton until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

Other occasions in South Acton
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
South Acton questions
Which station is closest to South Acton?
South Acton station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you travel across Greater London?
We cover Greater London and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address and we will quote.

Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
