Hog roast for events in Reigate, carved to order
Agricultural shows and country events near Reigate are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. Popular choices include crackling, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are often booked for charity fundraisers and car and steam shows.
A town like Reigate has schools, churches, clubs and parks that run events through the year. It suits any of them. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Show allergens at the stall
We serve as the queue moves.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Why choose hog roast for events in Reigate?
We bring everything, so organisers have little to provide.
However big or small the event in Reigate, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We’re frequently asked to cater:
- Fundraising events
- Tournaments and sports days
- Summer fêtes
- Horse and dog shows
PTAs at schools such as Reigate Priory Community Junior School frequently want one reliable hot-food stall.
Before you book anyone
- Who carves and who serves
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- The full menu and the sides
- Exactly what’s included in the price
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In late May, sunset in Reigate is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.

About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
