Event catering for Redhill
Redhill questions
What’s the nearest station to Redhill?
Redhill station, in Redhill itself.
Could you cook in Nutfield Marshes?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cater weddings and work events?
All sorts: weddings, parties, work events, community events and more. Let us know the occasion.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you serve inside?
We cook outdoors under cover, but we can often serve inside if the venue agrees. Check with your venue.
Can we put you in touch with our venue?
Yes. Pass on their details and we will sort the practical side.
Is it just hog roast?
Not at all: choose a hog roast, a barbecue or both, with vegetarian and vegan options on each.

Plenty of events in Redhill happen at home, in the garden or on the drive, where a hog roast or barbecue saves anyone cooking. Let us know how we reach the garden. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What we cook
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
Redhill events: venues and access
Redhill is about 9 miles north of Crawley, in Surrey. Redhill and the surrounding area are covered for events. Redhill is one of 395 places in Surrey where we cater. Our nearest city page is London, about 18 miles away.
Parks such as Nutfield Marshes usually need council permission for caterers, so check first. After a wedding, christening or funeral at a church such as Saint Matthew's Church, we can cater at a hall, home or venue nearby. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Redhill. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules for outside caterers and cooking, so check with yours.
Here we cover the RH1 and RH2 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Your event could be at a house on High Street, Station Road and Church Road or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. Main roads around Redhill include the A23 and A25, so getting the roaster to your event is simple. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Reigate (1 mile west), Horley (4 miles south), Caterham (5 miles north-east), Coulsdon (6 miles north) and Dorking (7 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Epsom (8 miles north-west), Ewell (9 miles north-west), Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-west), Weybridge (15 miles north-west) and Leatherhead (8 miles north-west).

Choosing caterers in Redhill
Next to a sit-down dinner, our food is relaxed and generous, though plates and sides make it a proper meal. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
With a hog roast we start early; with a barbecue we cook as people eat. We plan our timings from when you want to eat.
A hog roast can come with lamb or chicken alongside.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What else we do in Redhill

One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. Around midsummer it stays light in Redhill until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so most summer events eat in daylight. By late December, sunset is about 3:55pm.
