Hog Roast Norham’s journey in catering has been fueled by quality ingredients, trusted local partnerships, and a commitment to bringing out the best in every meal we serve. With decades in the industry, we’ve elevated hog roasting from a cooking method to an art form. Join us as we take you behind the scenes and reveal the passion and precision that goes into each of our hog roasts!
1. Quality from Farm to Fork
Hog Roast Norham understands that a great roast starts with the right ingredients. Every hog roast we create begins with premium-quality, free-range pork from award-winning local farms. These farms are celebrated for their high standards in animal welfare, and each hog is raised right here in Britain, guaranteeing the finest, most flavourful meat.
2. The Secret to Our Signature Flavour
After sourcing the perfect hog, it’s time for our chefs to work their magic. Our pork is always delivered fresh, never frozen, allowing the natural flavours to shine through in every bite. Fresh pork has a depth of flavour, colour, and texture that simply can’t be replicated with frozen meat.
We keep our seasoning simple yet effective: after scoring the skin, we pour water over the hog and rub salt generously into the meat. This enhances both flavour and moisture, resulting in succulent, mouth-watering pork.
3. The Art of the Roast: Our Custom Grills and Spits
Roasting a whole hog to perfection requires skill, patience, and custom equipment. Our specially designed grills and spits are built to hold each hog securely, allowing for even, consistent cooking.
After carefully removing the belly fat to ensure ideal browning, the roasting begins. We monitor the process closely over several hours, slow-cooking the meat to keep it tender and juicy while ensuring the skin develops that all-important golden crackle.
4. Ready to Serve: From Grill to Gathering
Once the hog is fully cooked, the excitement really begins! We carve the hog on-site, adding a touch of showmanship that never fails to charm guests. The meal is completed with fresh accompaniments like sage and onion stuffing, crispy crackling, and our homemade applesauce.
Every Hog Roast Norham meal is a celebration of local produce, time-honoured techniques, and a passion for great food. From pig to plate, we’re dedicated to making your event unforgettable—one delicious bite at a time.
