Our hog roast service in Chertsey
Chertsey is an old Thames-side market town in Runnymede, once home to a great medieval abbey — little of it survives, but the name crops up all over town. The Thames runs along its eastern side, crossed by Chertsey Bridge, and the flat, open Meads beside the river are a long stretch of green floodplain. St Ann's Hill rises behind the town, wooded and with views towards London.
We cater hog roasts, lamb roasts and BBQs across Chertsey and its villages, including riverside gardens and farm fields out towards Lyne and Longcross. Everything is cooked and carved on site, and we bring sides, sauces, staff and a serving counter so the host has nothing to organise but the guest list.
We cater across Chertsey 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 Chertsey
Chertsey has a traditional high street and a lot of family housing, which makes for a steady run of private events — birthdays, christenings, anniversaries — plus church, school and club gatherings. The countryside to the west, towards Lyne, Longcross and Ottershaw, adds larger gardens and farmland for bigger parties and weddings.
The Meads and riverside plots are lovely in summer but low-lying, so ground can stay soft after wet weather, and some town-centre streets are narrow. The M25 at junction 11 makes Chertsey quick to reach, though traffic around the junction can be slow at busy times, so we build in extra time.

BBQ catering in Chertsey
For events in Chertsey with a mixed crowd or a tight serving window, we often suggest a BBQ, either on its own or running alongside the hog roast. Two serving points shorten the queue and give everyone more to choose from.

Events we cater in Chertsey
Wedding hog roasts
Chertsey weddings with us are often at home by the river, in a farm field on the western side of town, or evening receptions after a service at a local church. A hog roast fits easily into all three.

Chertsey has a cluster of company offices and business parks close to the M25, and staff summer parties there are a regular request. For bigger teams we run a hog roast and BBQ side by side to keep the queue short.
Corporate BBQ cateringBirthday & private parties
Family parties are Chertsey's bread and butter. Big birthdays, christening lunches and summer gatherings for 40 to 120 guests suit a hog roast perfectly; see summer party catering for seasonal menus.
Hog roasts for birthday parties · Hog roasts for private partiesWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
Our pork is slow-roasted whole on site and hand-carved at the counter as guests come up. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are the favourite; a plated buffet works well when it's the main meal.

Lamb works as the only roast or alongside pork. We carve it at the counter and serve it with mint sauce, herby salads and breads — a popular choice for summer weddings.
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
Every menu includes real vegetarian and vegan mains — halloumi, vegetable skewers, veggie burgers or plant-based sausages — cooked separately when requested and served from a labelled area. Tell us about allergies and other requirements when you enquire and we'll plan around them; our food is prepared where common allergens are handled, so we can't guarantee any dish is allergen-free.
