Slow-roasted pork in Drayton Parslow
Wedding hog roast in Drayton Parslow, slow-roasted on site
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. On the menu are carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for second-day get-togethers and small, informal weddings.
Rural weddings around Drayton Parslow 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. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

The menu, dish by dish

Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Take a look at how we price or our hog roast cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Winter weddings in Drayton Parslow are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or MK17 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
