A hog roast or other catering?
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. After-work summer events in Norlington have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Contact us with the basics.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
