FAQs for Fawley Bottom
Is Fawley Bottom close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Fawley Bottom?
Henley-On-Thames station, about 3 miles south of the centre.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. At midsummer, sunset in Fawley Bottom is about 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
