About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Who books party hog roast in Drayton St Leonard?
You’re a host, not a cook, because we do the cooking and serving.

- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
