FAQs for Normans' Bay
What’s the nearest station to Normans' Bay?
Normans' Bay has its own station: Normans Bay station.
Is Normans' Bay close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.

The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Late September evenings in Normans' Bay lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 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.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
