Slow-roasted pork in Normandy
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late September evenings in Normandy lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

About our hog roast hire in Normandy
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. Typical bookings include milestone birthdays and corporate events, serving halloumi skewers, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
Somewhere as small as Normandy, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Normandy questions
What’s the nearest station to Normandy?
The closest is Wanborough station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Normandy?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
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 don’t offer halal meat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Who books hog roast hire in Normandy?
A roll needs no knife and fork, so it suits informal events, and plates turn it into a proper meal.
Hosts in Normandy book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. For example:
- Festive gatherings
- Big birthdays and anniversaries
- Sports clubs and societies
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
Coming by train? Wanborough station is about 0.7 miles away.
Questions to ask before you book
- The full menu and the sides
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- Travel and any London charges
- How dietary needs are handled
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. 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.

How we price a hog roast
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your date and serving time
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
