FAQs for Norlington
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cater in Norlington?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Evenings in Norlington stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
