A hog roast near Drayton
How our wedding hog roast works in Drayton
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. We serve new potatoes, salads and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for home weddings and farm weddings.
Rural weddings around Drayton have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours.

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How the day works
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. Winter weddings in Drayton are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book our hog roast in Drayton

Should I cook it myself?
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’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
