For village fêtes and school fairs and weddings and receptions, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls and more.

What affects the price in Over Norton
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
