Hog roast hire for your event in Norwood Hill
In Norwood Hill, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for corporate events and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Somewhere as small as Norwood Hill, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Who books hog roast hire in Norwood Hill?

Thinking of a hog roast in Edolph's Copse? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, generally the council’s, and many parks do not allow it.
Questions to ask before you book
- The space, cover and access they need
- Which meats, sides and extras are included

Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.

How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Around midsummer it stays light in Norwood Hill until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
