About our hog roast for events in Norleywood
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. We’re often asked to cater country shows and community events, with apple sauce, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Rural events near Norleywood can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September events in Norleywood lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Signpost the stall clearly
We serve as the queue moves.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
