Planning a party in Bucks Horn Oak
Bucks Horn Oak is about 4 miles south-west of Farnham, in Surrey. Hosts in Bucks Horn Oak book us for parties of all sizes. Bucks Horn Oak is one of 395 places in Surrey where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Bucks Horn Oak to Guildford (13 miles away).
For guests coming by train, Bentley (Hampshire) station is about 1.1 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Farnham Castle (3.9 miles north-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

How we price a hog roast for your party
Each price is built from:
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or GU10 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
See our prices page and the cost guide.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Sunset in Bucks Horn Oak is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Let us know about tight access
How to get a price

Common questions in Bucks Horn Oak
We’re gathering after a service at Saint James: can you cater?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Bucks Horn Oak too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
