Common questions in Norton
Can you roast near the sea around Norton?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Norton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do we need to organise?
Not much: the space and a contact.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We do our best at short notice. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
Do you cater in village halls?
Most places, if the roaster can cook outside.
Can you wait?
Name someone we can call and we will serve when everyone is there.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- One contact on the day
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
