A closer look at the menu

Why choose a hog roast in Norney?
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A lit route to the food

- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know

- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
