Party hog roast in Well Head, carved to order

Near Well Head, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. For an evening party in Well Head, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
