Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Shelter for the team
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

For event organisers in Well

Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
