How our event catering works in Epsom
Weddings, birthdays, Christmas parties, fêtes, wakes, care homes and film sets in Epsom: each one gets a menu planned around it. Start with the occasion and we will do the rest. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls with crackling, and typical bookings are for community fun days and staff days and client events.
Epsom has halls, clubs, pubs and function venues, as well as plenty of gardens. Wherever there’s room outside to cook, we can work. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What affects the price in Epsom
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
How the day works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will adjust where we can. Late May in Epsom has light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer until about 9:20pm, which gives summer events long evenings.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and the kind of event.
- We recommend a menu and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Let us know about tight access
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
Ask for a quote
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.

How we compare with other caterers
Compared with doing it yourself, you get your day back. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Two menus to choose from
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Cooked on site by our chef
See our prices page and how the two menus compare.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Beef burgers
A burger is the barbecue classic, and they’re a safe bet for children and adults alike.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We arrive well before food time and set up under cover, on the spot we agreed.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Enough room for people to queue
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
