Christmas hog roast in Norlington
How our Christmas hog roast works in Norlington
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Norlington suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. On the menu are roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater society Christmas socials and family Christmas gatherings.
In a small place like Norlington, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you be flexible on serving time?

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
