How our party hog roast works in Norton

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Each price is built from:
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- A photo of the cooking area
- Dietary requirements

Questions from Norton
Can you cater after a service at St. James' Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Norton?
Lymington Pier station, about 3.9 miles north of the centre.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.

What about kids?

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, it is light in Norton until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.

- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
