Party hog roast in South Park
Party hog roast in South Park, carved to order
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, so they can enjoy the party. We serve apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater summer parties in the garden and christenings and naming days.
In a place like South Park, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What affects the price in South Park
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For an evening party in South Park, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Party venues around South Park
South Park is about 1 mile south of Reigate, in Surrey. From village halls to gardens and fields, parties around South Park suit a hog roast. We cater 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from South Park to Guildford (about 16 miles away).
If guests are coming by rail, the nearest station is Reigate station, about 1.1 miles north. A green space like Castle Grounds is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. South Park is within about 5 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Anywhere in RH2, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Smith Road, North Road and Apley Road, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Reigate (1 mile north), Sidlow (1 mile south), Irons Bottom (2 miles south), Leigh (2 miles south-west) and Dawesgreen (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Epsom (8 miles north), Horley (4 miles south-east), Ewell (9 miles north), Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-west), Caterham (7 miles north-east) and Dorking (5 miles west).

Questions from South Park
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 follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to South Park?
The closest is Reigate station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Is our garden suitable?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. A photo helps.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What about kids?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.

- Space for our vehicle near the drive
