Common questions in Norham Manor
Is Norham Manor close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Oxford University Parks?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What about texture-modified diets?
We don’t prepare texture-modified meals; your team prepares those portions.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you provide allergen information?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing normally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
Your team helps residents as needed, while we serve.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In summer, Norham Manor has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What affects the price in Norham Manor
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Norham Manor
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
