Party hog roast for Nork
Party hog roast in Nork, carved to order
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. We serve coleslaw, apple sauce and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater getting-engaged parties and naming ceremonies.
In a place like Nork, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Catered or do it yourself?

Nork parties: what to know
Nork is about 2 miles south-east of Epsom, in Surrey. We cover Nork and its neighbours for parties. Nork is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Nork to London (about 13 miles away).
If your garden is too small, local halls and clubs near Nork can be an alternative, as long as there is outdoor space for the roaster. Among the historic houses close to Nork are Fitznells Manor (2.4 miles north-west) and Nonsuch Mansion (2.5 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Nork is within about 7 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Parties anywhere in SM7 and KT17 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Local streets include Rowan Close, Parsonsfield Road and Nork Way; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Nork is on the B291, which makes the journey straightforward. If your venue is just outside Nork, we also cover Epsom Downs (1 mile west), Great Burgh (1 mile south-west), Burgh Heath (1 mile south), North Looe (1 mile north-west) and Tattenham Corner (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cater in Woking (15 miles west), Horley (10 miles south), Redhill (6 miles south), Ewell (3 miles north-west), Reigate (6 miles south) and Walton-on-Thames (9 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include Cockney Museum (3 miles north) and Banstead Hospital (1.7 miles north-east). Open spaces near Nork include Cuddington Meadows and Colley Hill.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Let us know roughly how many children
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. A summer party in Nork stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Nork: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Priest Hill?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
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.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
