If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We clear away quietly.
Ask about china.

How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late May in Over Norton has light until about 9:00pm, 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 agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day
