Event catering in Egham, cooked on site
We are event caterers who cook on site. For events in Egham, we cook a hog roast, a barbecue or both on site, and our team serves and tidies up. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls with crackling and beef burgers, and we’re regularly asked to cater crew lunches and birthdays and garden parties.
In a town like Egham, we cater everything from garden parties to staff days and club events: a hog roast for a wedding, a barbecue for a birthday, both for a fête. All we need is a level spot outdoors to cook. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
How the day works
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, so we plan our arrival around your serving time. For an evening event in Egham, 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.
- First, you send us the occasion, date, venue and numbers.
- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up on the agreed spot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

- Name a contact for the day
Ask for a quote

What affects the price in Egham
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.

Beef brisket
For beef lovers, brisket is the one to choose, served on a plate or in a roll.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, often with mint sauce.

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Our chef cooks and our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving.
For a big event, have both menus.

Hog roast or BBQ: which is better?
A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece; a barbecue gives more variety. Many bigger events have both.
Can you cater a small event?
Send us the details and we will tell you honestly what fits. For smaller numbers, a barbecue is often the best fit.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Can you cater somewhere with no kitchen?
Not at all. Everything is cooked outdoors on site, so gardens, fields and car parks all work.
