What affects the price in Norton
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Hog roast hire in Norton, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. Typical bookings include club events and presentations and big birthdays and anniversaries, serving salads, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
Somewhere as small as Norton, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Put the menu on the invitation
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Questions from Norton
Is Norton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How soon do you get booked up?
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.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Planning an evening hog roast in Norton? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
