How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. At midsummer, sunset in Norton is about 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Send final numbers in good time

How our wedding hog roast works in Norton
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. Whether it’s evening food after the first dance and anniversary vow renewals, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, crackling and new potatoes for your guests.
Near Norton, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

A hog roast compared with other options

Common questions in Norton
Is Norton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Castle Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Permission for outside catering
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A serving area close to where guests eat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Norton
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, please mention:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.
