A hog roast near Norney
Hog roast hire in Norney, slow-roasted on site
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Whether it’s staff days and open days and birthdays and anniversaries, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
In a hamlet or village like Norney, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode

Send us the date, the address or GU8 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Norney
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In Norney, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Your questions about a hog roast in Norney
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Middlebriars Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
