About our hog roast hire in Drayton Parslow
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Drayton Parslow. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. Whether it is garden parties and barbecues and Fêtes, fairs and shows, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, crackling and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Drayton Parslow, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Around midsummer it stays light in Drayton Parslow until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
