Event catering across Surrey
Our catering does not need a kitchen at the venue: all the cooking happens outdoors under cover. So gardens, yards, fields and marquees all work. We are often asked to cater weddings and evening receptions and wakes, serving hog roast rolls with crackling, pulled pork and spit-roast lamb.
We set up under cover where we agreed, well before food time. A hog roast cooks for hours before serving; a barbecue cooks through service.

Local landmarks in Guildford
Bookings here are often close to Surrey Maths School, Sandfield Primary School and Guildford High School, among other places. Nearby too are Church of St John the Evangelist (under half a mile east), Stoke Park (under half a mile east) and The King's Head pub (under half a mile south-east). For guests coming by rail, the closest station is London Road (Guildford) station, about 0.6 miles south-east. Other landmarks nearby include Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Guildford House (0.8 miles south). Within reach you will find Silent Pool and Pewley Hill.
Choosing caterers in Surrey
Across Surrey, we cater events in the larger towns and neighbourhoods, from Guildford, Woking and Camberley outwards, though we’ll travel to smaller villages too. Wherever it is, we need somewhere level outside to cook. Parts of Surrey are within a few miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.
Guildford: For anyone arriving by rail, London Road (Guildford) station is about 0.6 miles away. Planning an event in Stoke Park? Any cooking there needs the landowner’s permission, typically the council’s. For an evening event in Guildford, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
How we compare with other caterers
Next to a sit-down dinner, hog roast and barbecue food keeps things informal, though plates and sides make it a proper meal.

Pair a hog roast with a barbecue for bigger events.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Beef brisket
Beef brisket is slow-cooked and sliced, rich and tender.
