Weddings in Marlow: venues, ceremonies and travel
Marlow is about 4 miles south of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Wherever your wedding is in Marlow, we can bring the roaster, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. Marlow is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Marlow to Reading (about 12 miles away).
It’s worth telling train travellers that there is a station right in Marlow: Marlow station. If you are marrying at a church near Marlow, such as Congregational Church, and holding the reception nearby, the hog roast can be cooking while you say your vows.
For weddings in SL7, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. That could mean a wedding in a garden on Station Road, High Street and Willowmead Square, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.

Nearby, we also cater weddings in Bisham (1 mile south), Marlow Bottom (1 mile north), Burroughs Grove (1 mile north), Temple (2 miles south) and Little Marlow (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cater in High Wycombe (4 miles north), Chesham (12 miles north-east), Amersham (10 miles north-east), Beaconsfield (6 miles north-east), Chalfont St Peter (10 miles east) and Princes Risborough (11 miles north). As one of the bigger places in Buckinghamshire, Marlow has lots of places with room for a hog roast.
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.

About our wedding hog roast in Marlow
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat isn’t available. Typical bookings include farm weddings and evening food after the first dance, serving crackling, new potatoes and salads.
Couples in Marlow often keep it personal, with a marquee or a local hall. A hog roast fits that style. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Marlow, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:

- Share the menu with your venue coordinator

You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.

Common questions in Marlow
Which station is closest to Marlow?
Marlow station, in Marlow itself.
We are gathering after a service at Congregational Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast or other catering?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
