Wedding hog roast in Marcham, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Marcham: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. On the menu are carved roast pork, crackling and salads, and typical bookings are for barn and farm weddings and wedding breakfasts.
In Marcham, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For a summer wedding in Marcham, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
Marcham questions
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 generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Marcham from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What affects the price in Marcham
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
