Hog roast hire in W3: what to expect
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. On the menu are coleslaw, hog roast rolls and salads, and typical bookings are for wakes and memorial gatherings and birthdays and anniversaries.
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat.

Planning a hog roast in W3
From Ealing, Acton and Harlesden to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across W3 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Acton: Parks such as Ealing Common generally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. Among the historic houses close to Acton are Gunnersbury Park (1.4 miles south-west) and Hogarth's House (1.6 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Acton, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon.

Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What a hog roast costs
