A hog roast near Leigh
How our Christmas hog roast works in Leigh
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. We serve halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we’re frequently booked for between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and christmas markets.
In a small place like Leigh, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is usually fine with the venue’s agreement.

Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?

Do December dates go quickly?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
Organising for someone else?

Christmas catering near Leigh
Leigh is about 3 miles south-west of Reigate, in Surrey. We cover Leigh and its neighbours for Christmas parties. We cover all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Leigh to Guildford (14 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Burys Court School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Bartholomew can book a hog roast stall. Leigh is within about 5 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
Christmas parties anywhere in RH2 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. That could mean a Christmas party in a garden on Church Road, Smalls Hill Road and The Glebe or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Neighbouring places where we cater Christmas parties include Dawesgreen (1 mile north-west), Bunce Common (1 mile west), Irons Bottom (2 miles east), Strood Green (2 miles north-west) and Sidlow (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Guildford (14 miles west), Epsom (9 miles north), Horley (4 miles south-east), Redhill (4 miles north-east), Ewell (10 miles north) and Reigate (3 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Reigate Priory Museum (2.7 miles north-east) and East Surrey Hospital (3.7 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Reigate Heath and Colley Hill.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Seven Stars Public House (under half a mile north-west)
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why Leigh hosts choose us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- No surprises: everything in writing

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Label alternatives clearly
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
