- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- Numbers

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
About the food

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Acton: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Dominion Cinema?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Acton?
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’ll advise.
Do we need to wash up?
We tidy the serving area.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Where the roaster can go in Acton
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
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.
