Lower Bourne: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Martin by the Green: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Underdown nature reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
What about kids?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Can you cater in Lower Bourne?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.

Lower Bourne parties: what to know
Lower Bourne is about 1 mile south of Farnham, in Surrey. We cater parties of every size in Lower Bourne. We cover all 395 towns and villages in Surrey. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 10 miles away.
Thinking of a hog roast in Underdown nature reserve? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, typically the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. Among the historic houses close to Lower Bourne are Farnham Castle (1.6 miles north). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Lower Bourne is within about 7 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Anywhere in GU10 and GU9, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Fox Road, Ford Lane and Kiln Lane or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. Main roads around Lower Bourne include the A287, which makes travel to your party easy.

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
