Hog roast for events in Norton, carved to order
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We are often asked to cater fundraising events and church and village fêtes, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage.
At a fête or show near Norton, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Common questions in Norton
Can you roast near the sea around Norton?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Norton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Both models are possible. We will agree what suits yours.
What will our event need from you?
Requirements vary. Let us know what you need.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
