Hog roast for events in Norlington, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Norlington. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. For car shows and rallies and charity fundraisers, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and crackling for your visitors.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
Name an organiser to meet us.
If your event has a theme, tell us.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
