About our corporate hog roast in Norney
At an open day, you need food that serves a lot of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. Typical bookings include staff summer days and away days, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and salads.
Near Norney, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your staff.

Before you choose a spot

- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Someone to meet us at reception
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. After-work summer events in Norney have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
