Wedding hog roast in Manor House
Wedding hog roast near Manor House
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. Typical bookings include home weddings and evening food after the first dance, serving halloumi skewers, crackling and carved roast pork.
For a wedding in Manor House, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will work through it together. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Common questions in Manor House
Could you cook in Chestnuts Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Olave?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.

About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your wedding. In Manor House, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Planning help
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A way in for the roaster
As a London location, Manor House is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
