Events in Norwood New Town range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals.

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with cold food stalls, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Chicken widens the choice.
Norwood New Town questions
Can you come to a school fair in Norwood New Town?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Could you cook in Long Meadow?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Both models are possible. We will work it out together.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the details.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
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.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A level pitch
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
