Slow-roasted pork in Well Street
How our hog roast hire works in Well Street
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Typical bookings include work summer parties and garden parties and barbecues, serving rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
For a rural spot like Well Street, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.

Why choose a hog roast in Well Street?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book our hog roast in Well Street

For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Questions from Well Street
Is Well Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can you cater in Well Street?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Evenings in Well Street stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
How to get a price
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
