Event catering in Ewell, cooked on site
We always include meat-free choices: halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Lamb, chicken and beef options help when some guests do not eat pork. We are frequently asked to cater garden parties and work Christmas parties, serving salads, hog roast rolls with crackling and pulled pork.
Ewell has halls, clubs, pubs and function venues, as well as plenty of gardens. Wherever there is room outside to cook, we can work. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Ewell: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Ewell from London?
Roughly 12 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can we have something other than a hog roast?
Not at all: there’s a full barbecue menu as well.
Hog roast or BBQ: which is better?
A hog roast is the showpiece; a barbecue gives more variety. For big events, both works well.
When should we book?
Once you know the date. Short notice is still worth a try: use our quote form.
Do you need a kitchen at the venue?
No. Everything is cooked outdoors on site, so gardens, fields and car parks all work.
Do you come to Ewell?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
What about vegetarian guests?
Yes. There’s always a vegetarian and a vegan choice, cooked separately from the meat.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Our staff keep the serving table tidy through service, so it looks as good at the end as at the start.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
How we compare with other caterers
Compared with a restaurant booking, we bring the food to your venue in Ewell, whether that’s a garden, a hall or a field. 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.
Why book us in Ewell

Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, open spot outdoors to cook
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer

How the day works
We work back from when you want to eat: a hog roast needs us there hours ahead, a barbecue a little less. Either way, it’s ready on time. In December, sunset in Ewell is about 3:55pm, so think about lights and shelter for guests.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a menu suggestion and a price.
- We confirm the cooking spot with you or the venue.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
