Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger parties. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- An itemised quote
- Serving and clearing done for you
- We bring everything to cook and serve
Take a look at how we price and what a hog roast costs.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Questions from Temple
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Temple?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you come to Temple?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Temple and the rest of Buckinghamshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Planning a party in Temple
Temple is about 2 miles south of Marlow, in Buckinghamshire. Our roaster is a regular sight at parties around Temple, from gardens to fields. We cater all 263 towns and villages across Buckinghamshire. We cater events right across the region, from Temple to Reading (about 11 miles away).
Historic houses near Temple include Harleyford Manor (0.9 miles west) and Greenlands (4.1 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of All Saints, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards.
For parties in SL7, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. From Temple Lane, Bradenham Lane and Temple Mill Island or anywhere nearby, we will bring the roaster to you. If your venue is just outside Temple, we also cover Bisham (1 mile north-east), Marlow (2 miles north), Stubbings (2 miles south), Cookham Dean (2 miles east) and Burchett's Green (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as High Wycombe (6 miles north), Chesham (13 miles north-east), Amersham (12 miles north-east), Beaconsfield (7 miles north-east), Chalfont St Peter (11 miles east) and Princes Risborough (12 miles north).
Well-known places in the area include Marlow Community Hospital (1.7 miles north-east) and Marlow Museum (1.2 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Carpenter's Wood and Weycock Hill.
- Nearby schools include Sir William Borlase's Grammar School (1.3 miles north)
- Local pubs include The Bull Inn (0.7 miles north-east)
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Each price is built from:
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- Travel to Temple
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
Send us the date, the address or SL7 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. For an evening party in Temple, think about light: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.

Preparing for the day
