How our hog roast hire works in Walton Manor
In Walton Manor, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Popular choices include salads, halloumi skewers and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for weddings and receptions and wakes and memorial gatherings.
A place like Walton Manor frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Light matters for a long roast: in Walton Manor, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Bringing a hog roast to Walton Manor

If you are organising a summer fair for a school like St Aloysius' Catholic Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. If you had Oxford University Parks in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
Why choose hog roast hire in Walton Manor?
