How our corporate hog roast works in Norton
At an open day, you need food that serves plenty of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. We serve spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater open days and family days and site openings.
For farms and rural sites near Norton, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
Norton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
