Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Manor House

FAQs for Manor House
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Manor House?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Chestnuts Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Can we have roast turkey?
We can: add turkey to the menu.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Indoor space for eating
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
As a London location, Manor House is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
