Planning a party in Norleywood
Norleywood is about 3 miles north-east of Lymington, in Hampshire. Thinking about a hog roast for your party in Norleywood? We can help. We bring hog roasts to 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 11 miles away.
If the day starts at Church of St Mary, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back. Nearby historic houses include Beaulieu Palace House (3.5 miles north-east). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. Norleywood is within about 4 miles of the New Forest National Park, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. The coast is within about 3 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
We cater parties across the SO41 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Norleywood Road, Joys Lane and Thatchers Lane; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Nearby, we also cater parties in East End (1 mile south-east), Thorns Beach (3 miles east), Hamstead (5 miles south-east), Bouldnor (5 miles south) and Yarmouth (5 miles south). Larger places within reach include Gosport (15 miles east), Eastleigh (15 miles north-east), Fareham (14 miles east), Totton (10 miles north), Chandler's Ford (15 miles north) and Hedge End (13 miles north-east).
A little further out are St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (2.4 miles south-west) and Lymington New Forest Hospital (2.3 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Boldre Foreshore.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
For event organisers in Norleywood
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
