Hog roast hire in Reigate
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
About our hog roast hire in Reigate
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Whether it’s village fêtes and school fairs and staff days and open days, we can cook hog roast rolls, crackling and salads for your guests.
There are lots of options in a town like Reigate: a garden, a club, a hall or a venue. We’ll check the cooking spot with you before the day. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

About the food

Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Where the roaster can go in Reigate
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A hog roast in Reigate: local details
Reigate is about 9 miles north of Crawley, in Surrey. We cover events in Reigate. Reigate is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Reigate to Guildford (about 16 miles away).
Churches such as Church of St Mary Magdalene rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by usually does. A green space like Castle Grounds is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Reigate is within about 5 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers.
For events in RH2 and RH1, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Your event could be at a house on High Street, London Road and Church Road or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Reigate sits on or near the A25 and A217, which makes travel to your event easy. We also bring hog roasts to events in South Park (1 mile south), Margery (2 miles north), Mogador (2 miles north-west), Sidlow (2 miles south) and Irons Bottom (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Epsom (7 miles north-west), Horley (4 miles south), Ewell (8 miles north), Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-west), Caterham (6 miles north-east) and Dorking (6 miles west). Reigate is one of the larger places we cover in Surrey, with lots of choice for events.
A little further out are The Belfry (1.4 miles east) and Reigate Castle (under half a mile north-west). Open spaces near Reigate include Reigate Heath and Mercers Lake.
- Local schools include Reigate College (under half a mile north) and Reigate Grammar School (under half a mile east)
- Local pubs include The Bell Public House (under half a mile west)
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. By late September, sunset in Reigate is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
