About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Daytime open days in Normandy are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
Getting ready for the day

Common questions in Normandy
What’s the nearest station to Normandy?
The closest is Wanborough station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
How far is Normandy from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about staff who do not 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.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you cover Normandy?
Yes, Normandy is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
