Hog roast hire in Upper Norwood, carved to order
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. We’re often asked to cater christmas parties and community events, with new potatoes, salads and coleslaw.
In Upper Norwood, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Let us know about the route in. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Catered or do it yourself?

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
