Turville weddings: local tips
Turville is about 6 miles north-west of Marlow, in Oxfordshire. Weddings in Turville are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. Turville is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we cater. You can also see our page for Reading, about 12 miles away.
After a ceremony at a church like Church of St Mary, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, where the hog roast is waiting. Nearby historic houses include Stonor Park (2 miles south-west) and Greenlands (3.6 miles south). Historic houses and estates frequently have rules on outside caterers, so check early if that’s your venue. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Turville, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Check the cooking spot with the venue.
Anywhere in RG9, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Holloway Lane and School Lane, and a wedding on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to weddings in Fingest (1 mile east), Cadmore End (1 mile north-east), Little Frieth (2 miles east), Frieth (2 miles east) and Bolter End (2 miles east).

How our wedding hog roast works in Turville
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. For wedding breakfasts with sides and garden weddings at home, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork.
Rural weddings around Turville have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, sunset in Turville 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.

Before we arrive

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
