Christmas hog roast in Norbury, carved to order
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Norbury suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it is cold outside. On the menu are crackling, apple sauce and roast potatoes, and we’re often booked for end-of-term celebrations and staff Christmas do’s.
For Christmas parties in Norbury, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Norbury questions
What if our house in Norbury has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Grangewood Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Kensington Avenue Primary School, suit a hog roast. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St Oswald draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.
Wherever your Christmas party is in CR7, SW16 and SE19, we can roast on site for your guests. That could mean a Christmas party in a garden on Green Lane, Croft Road and Downs Road or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A lunchtime Christmas party in Norbury is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Label alternatives clearly
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
