Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
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.

If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School, hot rolls go down well. If a church like St. James' Church is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In December, it is dark in Norton by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Common questions in Norton
Do you come out to small places like Norton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast near the sea around Norton?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is frequently better value. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
