Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Lunchtime bookings in Well Head are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
We’ll sign in and follow site rules.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Well Head
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
