Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Send the allergen list round before the party
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast turkey can be added.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Hampstead Norreys questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Hampstead Norreys from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
Is lighting needed?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we’ll sort lighting together.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Why choose a hog roast in Hampstead Norreys?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
