Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

- Plates, china and cutlery

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.

Planners, venues and businesses

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Norlington questions
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
