Common questions in Norney
Is Norney too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Norney?
Godalming station, about 1.6 miles east of the centre.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Is electricity needed?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
Can you cater in Norney?
Yes, Norney is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.

- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
