Should I cook it myself?

Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Common questions in Norham Manor
What’s the nearest station to Norham Manor?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 1 mile away.
Could you cook in Oxford University Parks?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.
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. Sunset in Norham Manor is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about children’s portions
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to ordering takeaway, the roast is an event in itself. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Planned to your running order

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
