Hog roast hire in Manor House
Hog roast hire in Manor House, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We are frequently asked to cater festive gatherings and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with crackling, salads and coleslaw.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, bookings in Manor House come in all shapes. Tell us how we get the equipment in. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Manor House: venues, access and local tips
Manor House is about 1 mile north of Highbury, in Greater London. From village halls to gardens and fields, events around Manor House suit a hog roast. Manor House is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
For guests coming by train, there is a station right in Manor House: Harringay Green Lanes station. A green space like Chestnuts Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s.

Streets in the area include Vale Road, Eade Road and Swan Lane, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
What affects the price in Manor House
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Late September evenings in Manor House lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day

- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
