Wedding hog roast in Marlow Bottom
About our wedding hog roast in Marlow Bottom
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. We are frequently asked to cater relaxed, low-key weddings and evening food after the first dance, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Marlow Bottom, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Planning the cooking spot

- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A way in for the roaster
- A serving area close to where guests eat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
