What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

A hog roast compared with other options
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger parties. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. In Marlow Bottom, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day

- Give us final numbers a week or so before
