Party hog roast near Norlington
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. For naming ceremonies and wedding anniversaries, we will put together a menu of jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
Country parties near Norlington suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.

Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can you cater in Norlington?
Yes, Norlington is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Norlington parties: what to know
Norlington is about 3 miles north-east of Lewes, in East Sussex. We cover Norlington and its neighbours for parties. We cater 289 places in East Sussex. We cater events right across the region, from Norlington to Brighton (about 9 miles away).
If your garden is too small, local halls and clubs near Norlington can be an alternative, as long as there is outdoor space for the roaster. Among the historic houses close to Norlington are Glyndebourne (1.6 miles south) and Glynde Place (2.5 miles south). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. Norlington is within about 3 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Parties anywhere in BN8 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. We can cater a party on streets such as Norlington Lane and Norlington Court or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster.

What else we do in Norlington
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
For event organisers in Norlington
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

The price comes down to:
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo

- Allergies we should know about

A hog roast compared with other options
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger parties. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
