Norton: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.

We do. Check vehicle access with the school.

Running an event in Norton

For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St Andrew, a hog roast adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. For visitors coming by rail, Bishopstone (Sussex) station is about 1.2 miles away. Within about 4 miles is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on cooking and waste; we work to the site rules. The coast is within about 2 miles of Norton, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
We bring hog roasts to events all over the BN25 postcode area and the streets around it. We also bring hog roasts to events in Bishopstone (1 mile south), Tide Mills (1 mile south-west), Denton (1 mile west), South Heighton (1 mile north-west) and Newhaven (2 miles west).

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to volunteers cooking, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In December, Norton is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your visitors
