About our wedding hog roast in Acton
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. Whether it’s second-day get-togethers and rustic barn receptions, we will put together a menu of carved roast pork, salads and rotisserie chicken and more.
In Acton, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we’ll work through it together. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
FAQs for Acton
Which station is closest to Acton?
Acton has its own station: Acton Central station.
We’re gathering after a service at Dominion Cinema: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we will work with them on the details.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Light near the carving station after dark
As a London location, Acton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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 will advise.

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Evening food at a Acton wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
