Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Your trader requirements
As a London location, Manor House is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Summer events in Manor House have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

Manor House questions

Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could you cook in Chestnuts Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Tell us what your event requires, and we will tell you what we can send.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
How far ahead should we book?

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:

Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Time on site
- Travel to Manor House
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or N4 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
