Questions from Draycott
Is Draycott too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Draycott from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What does the production need from you?
Every production is different.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you do wrap parties?
Of course. Tell us the date and location.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a wrap party, a hog roast feels like a reward. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- All the equipment comes with us

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Halal is not offered
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
