Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Drayton
What’s the nearest station to Drayton?
The closest is Appleford station, roughly 3 miles away.
How far is Drayton from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.
Can you cater in Drayton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Drayton and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What happens if it’s dark?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
The price comes down to:
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
