Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Norham Manor questions
Which station is closest to Norham Manor?
Oxford station, about 1 mile south-west of the centre.
Could you cook in Oxford University Parks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you feed staff and families?
Yes. Give us total numbers and we will plan for everyone.
Can you work to our lunch time?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
What about staff who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
