Common questions in Church Norton
Is Church Norton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Church Norton from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
Do you provide allergen information?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing generally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
Can you serve on plates?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
How our care home hog roast works in Church Norton
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. We’re often asked to cater milestone days for the home and open days, with halloumi skewers, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Rural care homes near Church Norton can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Late May in Church Norton has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
