Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, sunset in Wellhouse is around 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Common questions in Wellhouse
Is Wellhouse 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 Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is all of West Berkshire covered?
All of West Berkshire is in our area. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
