Slow-roasted pork in Drayton
How our hog roast hire works in Drayton
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Drayton, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We serve coleslaw, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are often booked for weddings and receptions and gatherings after a funeral.
Somewhere like Drayton, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Late September evenings in Drayton lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Drayton is about 1 mile north-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Thinking about a hog roast in Drayton? We can help. We bring hog roasts to 443 places across Oxfordshire. Our bookings stretch from Drayton to Oxford (about 23 miles away).
PTAs at schools such as North Oxfordshire Academy frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Thinking of a hog roast in People's Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, typically the council’s, and many parks do not allow it.

Streets in the area include Smythe Road, Hermon Road and Poulter Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Your questions about a hog roast in Drayton
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Drayton close to London?
About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
