Hog roast hire in Marlow, carved to order
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Marlow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We are often asked to cater clubhouse events and Fêtes, fairs and shows, with crackling, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
In Marlow, gardens come in all sizes, and most can take a roaster if there is side access and clearance. If not, a hall or club nearby is a good fallback. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Marlow: your questions answered
How far is Marlow from London?
About 30 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Congregational Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A hog roast in Marlow: local details
Marlow is about 4 miles south of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Wherever your event is in Marlow, we can bring the roaster, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook. We cater all 263 towns and villages across Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Marlow to Reading (about 12 miles away).
For a fundraiser at a school like Holy Trinity Church of England (Aided) School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Churches such as Congregational Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does.
For events in SL7, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Whether your event is on Station Road, High Street and Willowmead Square or anywhere nearby, we will bring the roaster to you. Being close to the A404 and B482, Marlow is simple for us to get to. If your venue is just outside Marlow, we also cover Bisham (1 mile south), Marlow Bottom (1 mile north), Burroughs Grove (1 mile north), Temple (2 miles south) and Little Marlow (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include High Wycombe (4 miles north), Chesham (12 miles north-east), Amersham (10 miles north-east), Beaconsfield (6 miles north-east), Chalfont St Peter (10 miles east) and Princes Risborough (11 miles north). As one of the bigger places in Buckinghamshire, Marlow has plenty of venues, halls and workplaces.
Nearby you will also find Eden (4 miles north) and High Wycombe Castle (4.1 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Carpenter's Wood.
- Schools near Marlow include Sir William Borlase's Grammar School (under half a mile south-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find Butcher's Tap (less than half a mile south-west)
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in Marlow until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
