About our hog roast hire in Norton
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Whether it is parties at home and staff days and open days, we can cook salads, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken and more.
Somewhere like Norton, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Norton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Norton questions
Is Norton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at St. James' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you cover the whole of the Isle of Wight?
All of the Isle of Wight is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll quote.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Light matters for a long roast: in Norton, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:05pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
