Hog roast for events for Drayton
Hog roast for events near Drayton
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. On the menu are hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for fun runs and sports events and vintage rallies.
At a field event near Drayton, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Common questions in Drayton
What’s the nearest station to Drayton?
The closest is Banbury station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Could you cook in People's Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What affects the price in Drayton
Your quote depends on:
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve as the queue moves.
Chicken widens the choice.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, Drayton is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
