A hog roast near Norton Ash
Should I cook it myself?
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.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How our hog roast for events works in Norton Ash
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater church and village fêtes and school fairs and sports days.
At a fête or show near Norton Ash, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Common questions in Norton Ash
Is Norton Ash close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you trade at school fairs around Norton Ash?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.

Can you do a school fair?
We do. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We do. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Show allergens at the stall
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
