Popular choices include crackling, new potatoes and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and post-wedding gatherings.

South Acton questions
Can you do a hog roast in Gunnersbury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
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. Send us the address.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
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 will check.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Permission for outside catering
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
South Acton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Winter weddings in South Acton are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
