Wedding hog roast in Well, carved to order
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. We are frequently asked to cater wedding breakfasts and barn and farm weddings, serving crackling, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
Near Well, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Well, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Common questions in Well
Is Well too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Well from London?
About 40 miles from central London.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give your coordinator the final menu
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
