How hog roast hire works in SL7

It is a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for village fêtes and school fairs and summer garden parties.

The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening.

  1. We start with a few details about your event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
  4. We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
  5. Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

What you will pay

Landmarks near Marlow

In Marlow, that can mean an event near Congregational Church, Butcher's Tap and Sir William Borlase's Grammar School, among other places. There’s a railway station in Marlow itself: Marlow station, handy for guests travelling by train. Nearby you’ll also find Eden (4 miles north) and High Wycombe Castle (4.1 miles north). The countryside around Marlow includes Carpenter's Wood.

Planning a hog roast in SL7

Across SL7, we cover 3 towns and 14 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Marlow, Booker and Marlow Bottom to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.

Marlow: Within reach of Marlow are historic houses such as Harleyford Manor (2 miles south-west) and Cliveden (3.8 miles east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Congregational Church, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. By late September, sunset in Marlow is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

The menu, dish by dish

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.

Rotisserie chicken

Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.

Organising for someone else?

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

A hog roast or other catering?

Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.

Common questions in SL7

Do you need power or water?

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.

What about guests who don’t eat pork?

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.

Will there be enough to go round?

We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.

Is it just pork?

Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.

What if things run late?

Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.

Is crockery included?

We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

How long does a hog roast take to cook?

A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

  • Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
  • Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
  • Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
  • Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
