How our event catering works in Reigate
From weddings to wakes and fêtes to film sets in Reigate: we’ve planned menus for all of them. Tell us what the event is and we will suggest the food. For festive parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we can cook hog roast rolls with crackling, spit-roast lamb and pulled pork.
Plenty of events in Reigate happen at home, in the garden or on the drive, and our catering means nobody in the family is stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access to the garden. You will know exactly what’s included before you book.
Other occasions in Reigate
Why choose us as your caterers in Reigate?
Compared with a formal plated meal, our food is relaxed and generous, though plates and sides make it a proper meal. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Two menus to choose from
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Serving and clearing done for you

Reigate: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Reigate from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
Can you serve inside?
We always cook outside, though guests can eat inside.
Do you only do hog roasts?
We do barbecues too, and many events have both.
Can you feed a big crowd?
Large events suit a hog roast especially well. Send us the details for a quote.
Which menu suits our event?
A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece; a barbecue offers more choice. Many bigger events have both.

Event catering in Reigate: what to know
Reigate is about 9 miles north of Crawley, in Surrey. Reigate is well within our area for events. We cater 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 16 miles away.
For guests coming by train, Reigate has its own station, Reigate station. Churches such as Church of St Mary Magdalene rarely have room to cook, but a hall or garden nearby usually does. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Reigate, so countryside venues are close by. Venues there may limit outside caterers, so ask about their rules first.
Here we cover the RH2 and RH1 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. Streets in the area include High Street, London Road and Church Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Main roads around Reigate include the A25 and A217, which makes travel to your event easy. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Redhill (1 mile east), Horley (4 miles south), Caterham (6 miles north-east), Coulsdon (6 miles north-east) and Dorking (6 miles west). Larger places within reach include Ewell (8 miles north), Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-west), Weybridge (14 miles north-west), Sunbury-on-Thames (15 miles north-west) and Leatherhead (7 miles north-west). Reigate is among the bigger towns we cover in Surrey, with lots of choice for events.

How the day works

- Send us your date, venue and rough numbers.
- Choose your menu with us.
- We set up before food time.
- Hot food is served at the time you chose.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Let us know about tight access

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A spot well clear of buildings
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Enough room for people to queue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we cook
- Salads
- Beef burgers
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Beef brisket
- Pulled pork
- Rotisserie chicken
- Sausages
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Coleslaw
- Potatoes
- Spit-roast lamb
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
After service, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left to do.
For a big event, have both menus.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
