Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. 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 generally easier.
FAQs for Norton
What’s the nearest station to Norton?
The closest is Lymington Pier station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at St. James' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
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.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wedding in Norton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:05pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
