Our hog roast service in Caterham
Caterham is really two places. Caterham-on-the-Hill sits up on the North Downs, including the former barracks site now redeveloped as a residential village, while Caterham Valley is the older town in the dip below, around the station. Whyteleafe, Warlingham, Chaldon and Woldingham are all close by, and the town sits right on the edge of Greater London with open downland on its doorstep.
We cater hog roasts and BBQs across Caterham and the nearby Tandridge villages, cooking on site and carving to order with a full spread of sides. It's the same complete service we run everywhere — equipment, staff, food and clearing away — adapted to the hills and lanes of this corner of Surrey.
We cater across Caterham as part of our hog roast catering in Surrey. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering page.
Where we cater in Caterham
Most Caterham events are private: garden parties, big birthdays, family celebrations and summer get-togethers on the residential roads either side of the valley. Churches, schools and sports clubs add fetes and fundraisers, and the countryside towards Chaldon, Godstone and Woldingham brings farm parties and marquee celebrations.
The hills are the main logistic. Roads between the valley and the hill are steep, some houses sit on sloping plots, and the downland lanes are narrow. We'll plan where to park and set up so the cooking area is level and safe. The M25 at Godstone keeps travel times down.
- private gardens on both sides of the valley
- farm parties and marquees towards Chaldon and Godstone
- church halls and community centres
- school fairs and sports-club events
- garden parties in Warlingham and Whyteleafe
BBQ catering in Caterham
A BBQ gives guests something a hog roast can't: choice. We run commercial grills in Caterham for work events, family parties and club days, cooking burgers, sausages, marinated chicken, halloumi and plant-based options as the queue moves.
On sloping gardens a compact BBQ set-up can be easier to place than a full hog roast machine, and it goes down well with mixed ages.

Events we cater in Caterham
Wedding hog roasts
Caterham weddings with a hog roast are usually relaxed affairs — a marquee in the garden, a village-hall reception or evening food after a church service. We keep the timings simple and the food generous.
Wedding hog roastsCorporate events
Caterham has a modest business community, and work events here are mostly small teams and local firms along the A22, plus end-of-term staff parties for schools. A hog roast or BBQ in a car park or playing field is an easy way to thank a team.
Corporate cateringBirthday & private parties
Birthday parties are our most common Caterham booking. A hog roast feeds a garden full of guests without fuss, and our guide to what to serve with a hog roast helps you plan the sides.

Pork hog roast
The classic. A whole pig roasts slowly for hours until the meat is tender and the skin has turned to crackling, then we carve it to order — into soft rolls with stuffing and apple sauce, or onto plates with salads and potatoes.
View our hog roast menuLamb roast
Spit-roasted whole lamb, seasoned with garlic and rosemary and carved to order. It's served with mint sauce, warm flatbreads and fresh salads — ideal when some guests don't eat pork.
Lamb roast cateringBBQ options
Beef burgers, pork sausages, marinated and BBQ-glazed chicken, veggie burgers, halloumi and plant-based sausages — pick three or four and we'll handle the rest.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
The sides make the meal. Choose from homemade coleslaw, mixed leaf salad, tomato and red onion salad, potato salad and pasta salad, plus fries, sweet potato fries or buttered new potatoes cooked on site. Fresh rolls, breads and a proper sauce table come as standard.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Dietary needs are planned in from the start, not added at the end. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are cooked on separate equipment on request and clearly labelled, and allergen information is available for everything we serve. For guests with severe allergies, please talk to us before the event.

Hog roast FAQs for Caterham
Do you cover Caterham-on-the-Hill as well as the valley?
Yes, both, along with Whyteleafe, Warlingham, Woldingham, Chaldon and Godstone.
Our garden slopes steeply — where would you set up?
We'd look for the flattest firm spot, often the drive, a patio or a terrace, and serve from there. A photo or two of the garden helps us decide before the day.
How much does a hog roast in Caterham cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, staffing, the service style and the venue. We don't publish fixed prices because events vary so much — our hog roast cost guide explains the factors, and a quote is free.
