How our corporate hog roast works in Nork

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Nork
Which station is closest to Nork?
Banstead station, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you cater open days with families?
We do. Include visitors in your numbers and we’ll cater for all.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Why choose a hog roast in Nork?
For client events, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken for a more polished feel. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Served at the time you choose
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- An itemised quote
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Access through the site gates
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
