Had a glorious weekend in Norfolk where we had two hog roast events in one weekend. The first was a hog roast for 80 guests up on the North Norfolk coast at Heacham. This was a birthday celebration and our inhouse chef Terry really enjoyed this event. We took up a presentation box of complimentary cupcakes for the birthday boy who was 21. That was our first saturday in Norfolk for a couple of weeks and it was a fantastic event. Sunday saw us in Yarmouth for a rural event on the East Norfolk coast, it was a smaller affair with 50 guests and plenty of hog to go around as the pig was a little generous. Still nobody complained at getting seconds and some thirds I believe the weather was great all weekend and so once again Norfolk came up trumps for Parkers hog roast.

Surely, "When Prince of Wales (Later Edward VIII) visited ..." should read "... (Later Edward VII) visited ... "
