Planning a Christmas party in Norham Manor
Norham Manor is about 1 mile north-west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. We cover Norham Manor and its neighbours for Christmas parties. We bring hog roasts to 443 places in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
Norham Manor is on or near the A4144, so we can reach it easily in winter. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Wychwood School, suit a hog roast.
For Christmas parties in OX2, OX1 and OX3, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. From Love Lane, Parks Road and Keble Road or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. With the A4144 close by, Norham Manor is easy for us to reach with the roaster. If your venue is just outside Norham Manor, we also cover Park Town (1 mile west), Walton Manor (1 mile west), Jericho (1 mile south-west), St John Street area (1 mile south) and North Oxford (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Didcot (11 miles south), Bicester (10 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (6 miles south), Witney (10 miles west), Carterton (14 miles west) and Thame (12 miles east).

- Schools near Norham Manor include St Aloysius' Catholic Primary School (within half a mile west) and Oxford Academy (0.7 miles north)

- Local facilities include St Hugh's College Main Building Including Library (under half a mile north-west)
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count who does not eat pork
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Send the allergen list round before the party
We set up while it’s still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. A lunchtime Christmas party in Norham Manor is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your guests

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At a winter fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Serving and clearing done for you
See our pricing or the cost guide.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:

- Travel to Norham Manor

- How long the roast and service take
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
