Parties in Gatton: homes, halls and local tips
Gatton is about 2 miles north of Redhill, in Surrey. Gatton is well within our area for parties. Gatton is one of 395 places in Surrey where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Gatton to London (about 17 miles away).
Thinking of a hog roast in Nutfield Marshes? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, normally the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St Andrew's Church, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Gatton, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Common questions in Gatton
Can you do a hog roast in Nutfield Marshes?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Gatton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What about kids?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
