Is Well Street too small for a hog roast?

Do you do DIY hire for parties?

Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Party hog roast in Well Street, slow-roasted on site
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will help you choose. We serve apple sauce, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are frequently booked for retirement celebrations and neighbourhood parties.
Country parties near Well Street suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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 we price a hog roast for your party

Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
