Wedding hog roast in Bockmer End, carved to order
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and salads, and typical bookings are for the main wedding meal and weddings in a marquee.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Bockmer End questions
What’s the nearest station to Bockmer End?
The closest is Marlow station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.

Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. For a summer wedding in Bockmer End, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
