Book a hog roast in Norbury
Where the roaster can go in Norbury
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Norbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

About our hog roast hire in Norbury
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater festive gatherings and staff days and open days.
In Norbury, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Tell us how we get the equipment in. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Light matters for a long roast: in Norbury, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
