How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For an evening party in Norton, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.

Planning a party in Norton
Norton is about 2 miles east of Newhaven, in East Sussex. Norton and the surrounding area are covered for parties. Norton is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we cater. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 10 miles away.
For guests coming by train, the closest railway station is Bishopstone (Sussex) station, roughly 1.2 miles south of the centre. Within reach of Norton are historic houses such as Alfriston Clergy House (3.2 miles east) and Firle Place (3.3 miles north). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. Norton is within about 4 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
For parties in BN25, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Bishopstone (1 mile south), Tide Mills (1 mile south-west), Denton (1 mile west), South Heighton (1 mile north-west) and Newhaven (2 miles west). Further out, we also cater in Eastbourne (9 miles east), Lewes (7 miles north-west), Hailsham (9 miles north-east), Uckfield (12 miles north), Peacehaven (3 miles west) and Telscombe (4 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Newhaven Museum (1.4 miles west) and Arlington Castle (3.8 miles east). Open spaces near Norton include Firle Beacon.
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 will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Norton
Can you roast near the sea around Norton?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Norton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What about the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
