On the menu are rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb, and we’re often booked for small, informal weddings and vow renewals and blessings.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Golden-hour photos in Over Norton at midsummer come around 9:30pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Common questions in Over Norton
Can you cater after a service at St James?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Over Norton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
