The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.

Manor House questions
What’s the nearest station to Manor House?
Manor House has its own station: Harringay Green Lanes station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Manor House?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you need much space at base?
Usually, if there’s a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
