What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Autumn parties in Walton Manor get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
How to get a price

Walton Manor questions
What’s the nearest station to Walton Manor?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Could you cook in Oxford University Parks?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you cover Walton Manor?
Yes, Walton Manor is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Events we cater in Walton Manor

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why book with us
