Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.

Hog roast hire for your event in Well
In Well, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. We’re frequently asked to cater clubhouse events and Fêtes, fairs and shows, with coleslaw, salads and halloumi skewers.
In a hamlet or village like Well, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Well
Well questions
Is Well too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Lord Wandsworth College Chapel?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Well, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
