Hog roast catering in W12: local guide
From Acton, Hammersmith and Bedford Park to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across W12 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Shepherd's Bush: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Addison Primary School, can book a hog roast stall. Coming by train? There is a station right in Shepherd's Bush: Shepherds Bush station. Light matters for a long roast: around Shepherd's Bush, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
What a hog roast costs

Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
