A hog roast near Norton
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Sunset in Norton is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

How our party hog roast works in Norton
After a christening near Norton, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, and nobody misses the celebration. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and we are often booked for naming ceremonies and back-garden get-togethers.
Country parties near Norton suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Questions from Norton
Do you come out to small places like Norton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Norton close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Organising for someone else?

How we price a hog roast for your party
Here’s what affects the price:
- Site access
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
