A hog roast near Farnham Royal
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Farnham Royal
Is Farnham Royal close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Cocksherd Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. By late September, sunset in Farnham Royal is about 7:05pm; by December it’s about 3:55pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with takeaway pizzas, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved to order by a chef
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Planning a party in Farnham Royal

A christening at Church of St Mary followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. A green space like Cocksherd Wood is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s.

Your party could be at a house on Church Road, Sospel Court and Montague Close or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Britwell (1 mile south-west), East Burnham (1 mile north-west), Farnham Common (1 mile north), Egypt (1 mile north) and Slough (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Langley (4 miles south-east), Upton (3 miles south-east), Datchet (4 miles south-east), Ditton (4 miles south-east), Poyle (6 miles south-east) and Colnbrook (6 miles south-east).

Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
