About our event catering in Marlow
We are event caterers who cook on site. In Marlow, that means a hog roast, a barbecue or both, cooked outdoors under cover at your venue, and our team serves and tidies up. Whether it’s wedding breakfasts and evening food and residents’ days, we’ll put together a menu of salads, hog roast rolls with crackling and halloumi skewers and more.
Venues in Marlow range from village-style halls and clubs to hotels and function rooms. If yours has outdoor space, we can cater there. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Why choose us as your caterers in Marlow?
Compared with a formal plated meal, our food is relaxed and generous, but it can still be served on plates with sides. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Cooked where you are
- Timed around your day
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Two menus to choose from

Your questions about caterers in Marlow
Is Marlow close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Marlow?
Marlow has its own station: Marlow station.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. There’s always a vegetarian and a vegan choice, cooked separately from the meat.
Do you cover Marlow?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Which menu suits our event?
That depends on who’s coming: if most eat pork and you want a centrepiece, a hog roast; if you want variety, a barbecue. Tell us about the event and we will suggest one.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How soon do dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends and Christmas. Midweek dates are frequently easier. Fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Flat ground outdoors for the cooking
- Clearance from walls, tents and overhanging branches
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How we price your catering

What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
The process
A hog roast is cooked before serving and carved to order; a barbecue is cooked as people come up. Either way, our staff serve and clear. Evening events in Marlow need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Tell us about the event: what it is, when and where.
- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, and send a quote.
- We agree where we will cook.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Gather dietary requirements early
