Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Summer shoots near Drayton St Leonard have light until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Let us know about tight access

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
