Marcham: your questions answered
How far is Marcham from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you come to a school fair in Marcham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What comes with the hog roast?
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.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will work it out together.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For big events, tell us expected numbers, so we can plan. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Coleslaw
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
