How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Things that change the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Winter weddings in Wellhouse are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Send final numbers in good time

Questions from Wellhouse
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Wellhouse close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll liaise with them.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
