Book a hog roast in Manor House
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How our party hog roast works in Manor House
In Manor House, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: hearty food that feeds everyone at once. We serve and tidy up. Typical bookings include 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and naming ceremonies, serving apple sauce, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
Most parties in Manor House are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. A picture helps. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Party venues around Manor House
Manor House is about 1 mile north of Highbury, in Greater London. From village halls to gardens and fields, parties around Manor House suit a hog roast. We bring hog roasts to all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Nearby historic houses include Bruce Castle (2.1 miles north-east) and Witanhurst (2.4 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. After a christening at a church like Church of St Olave, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends.
For parties in N4, N16 and N15, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. That could mean a party in a garden on Vale Road, Eade Road and Swan Lane, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Manor House is on the A503, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment.

What comes off the roaster

A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Manor House
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Manor House?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Chestnuts Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.

- Let us know roughly how many children
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
- Travel to Manor House
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- An estimate of numbers
- A picture of the cooking area
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A step-free way into the garden
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.
