Planning an event in Leatherhead?
Is our catering right for your event?
Instead of booking a restaurant, we bring the food to your venue in Leatherhead, whether that is a garden, a hall or a field. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Hot food cooked at your venue
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- An itemised quote

Event catering in Leatherhead, served hot
Choosing caterers in Leatherhead starts with the food. We keep it simple and generous: slow-roasted pork carved into rolls, or a barbecue with burgers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. We’re often asked to cater wakes and gatherings after a funeral and crew lunches, serving pulled pork, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Leatherhead has halls, clubs, pubs and function venues, as well as plenty of gardens. Wherever there’s room outside to cook, we can work, and we’ll check the venue is happy with an outside caterer. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We bring the cooking equipment with us, so there’s nothing for you to find or hire for the cooking.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.

How it works
Your serving time sets our timings: we arrive early for a hog roast, and in good time for a barbecue. Either way, it’s ready on time. In Leatherhead, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so most summer events eat in daylight. By late December, sunset is about 3:55pm.
- Tell us about the event: what it is, when and where.
- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, and send a quote.
- We agree where we will cook.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
