Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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 hog roast or other catering?
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast stands out. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Marlow Bottom hosts choose us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Served at the time you choose

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
