Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Norton Green
Do you come out to small places like Norton Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Norton Green?
Lymington Pier station, about 4.5 miles north of the centre.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
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.
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.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Sunset in Norton Green is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:05pm, need lights by the roaster.

- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant booking, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved to order by a chef
Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
