Bucks Horn Oak: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Bucks Horn Oak?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Do you do charity events?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest options.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book our hog roast in Bucks Horn Oak
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Balance the food line-up
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Halal isn’t offered
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
For event organisers in Bucks Horn Oak
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Late-September events in Bucks Horn Oak lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
