Norton Green: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Norton Green?
The closest is Lymington Pier station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
