Draycott questions
Do you come out to small places like Draycott?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a school fair in Draycott?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Looking after everyone
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For an autumn event in Draycott, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Give us a contact number for the day

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Events we cater in Draycott

Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Typical bookings include:

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to cold food, hot food is popular in any season. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
