A hog roast in Nork: local details
Nork is about 2 miles south-east of Epsom, in Surrey. We cater events across Nork and nearby. Nork is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. Our bookings stretch from Nork to London (about 13 miles away).
If you had Priest Hill in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. After a service at St Paul, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. Nork is within about 7 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers.
We cover events in every part of SM7 and KT17 and the streets around it. That could mean an event in a garden on Rowan Close, Parsonsfield Road and Nork Way or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Nork is on the B291, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. We also bring hog roasts to events in Epsom Downs (1 mile west), Great Burgh (1 mile south-west), Burgh Heath (1 mile south), North Looe (1 mile north-west) and Tattenham Corner (1 mile south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Woking (15 miles west), Horley (10 miles south), Redhill (6 miles south), Ewell (3 miles north-west), Reigate (6 miles south) and Walton-on-Thames (9 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include Cockney Museum (3 miles north) and Banstead Hospital (1.7 miles north-east). Within reach you’ll find Cuddington Meadows and Colley Hill.
- Schools near Nork include The Beacon School (0.6 miles south-east) and The Beacon School (0.6 miles south-east)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Municipal Borough of Sutton and Cheam (2.8 miles north)
Hog roast hire in Nork, slow-roasted on site
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Nork, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Whether it is sports clubs and societies and christmas fairs, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, new potatoes and crackling and more.
For a place the size of Nork, your own garden is frequently the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Let us know how we reach the garden. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are 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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. By late September, sunset in Nork is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Think about shelter for your guests

- Sports clubs and societies
- Village fêtes and school fairs

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Nork questions
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is crackling included?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you travel across Surrey?
We cater across Surrey, including Nork. Contact us for a price.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
