Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At a December wedding in Draycott, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.

- Give us a contact number for the day

Draycott questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Helen?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Draycott close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll sort the details with them.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What affects the price in Draycott
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
