Our hog roast service in Epsom
Epsom is shaped by the Downs. The open chalk grassland south of the town is home to the racecourse where the Derby has been run since 1780, and on a clear day the views stretch back to London. On the other side, Epsom Common gives the town a wooded, wilder edge. In between are a busy town centre, suburban streets running into Ewell and Stoneleigh, and plenty of well-kept family houses.
Our hog roast Epsom service is built around those family houses and the events they host. We set up in the garden or on the drive, roast the pork on site and carve it as guests come to the counter, with salads and sides from our hog roast menu. We also cater community and club events across the borough.
We cater across Epsom as part of our hog roast catering in Surrey. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering service page.
Where we cater in Epsom
Garden parties are the main event here: 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and the summer party that gets bigger every year. Ewell, Ashtead, Banstead and the roads around the Downs all have gardens that suit a hog roast, even when the access is through a side gate. Schools and sports clubs keep us busy in June and July.
Race days change the town. When there's a big meeting on the Downs, the roads around the course are busy and some are closed, so we plan travel and set-up times around the racing calendar for any event nearby.

BBQ catering in Epsom
Not every event suits a whole pig. For Epsom gatherings where people want choice — office lunches, club days, parties with lots of children — our BBQ catering is often the better fit: burgers, sausages and chicken cooked to order, with vegetarian and vegan options on their own grill space.
For school and club events, a BBQ usually suits better than a whole roast: children queue for burgers and sausages, adults go for chicken or halloumi, and everything moves quickly.

Events we cater in Epsom
Wedding hog roasts
Epsom weddings with us are usually receptions at home or in a marquee in a large garden, or evening food after a daytime ceremony elsewhere. A hog roast gives the evening a relaxed, generous feel, and it's one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd that's been dancing for hours.
Wedding hog roast cateringCorporate events
Work events in Epsom tend to be smaller teams and local businesses: an office summer lunch, a client thank-you, a Christmas party that wants something hearty. Our Christmas menu, with roast turkey and pigs in blankets, is a popular winter choice.
Corporate hog roast and BBQ cateringBirthday & private parties
Epsom is one of our busiest areas for birthdays. Good-sized gardens and a sociable, family-focused town mean plenty of parties for 50 to 120 guests, and a hog roast is made for exactly that. See birthday party catering for ideas.
Hog roasts for birthday parties · Hog roasts for private partiesWhat we cook
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.
Sample hog roast menuLamb roast
A whole lamb on the spit gives the same sense of occasion as a hog roast with a lighter, herby feel. Serve it in flatbreads with minted yoghurt, or plated with potatoes and gravy.
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
Most Epsom events pick two to four sides. Summer menus lean towards coleslaw, leaf salads, tomatoes and potato salad; evening and winter events tend to want fries, sweet potato fries or new potatoes. We bring the breads, rolls and sauces too.
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 Epsom
Do race days affect a hog roast booking in Epsom?
They can. On major race days the roads near the Downs are very busy and some are closed, so if your event is nearby we'll plan an earlier arrival and check the route. It doesn't stop us catering; it just needs planning.
Can you set up in a garden that only has side-gate access?
Usually. Our equipment fits through a standard side gate in most cases, or we cook on the drive and serve in the garden. Measure the narrowest point and let us know.
How far around Epsom do you go — Ewell, Banstead, Worcester Park?
All of those. We cover the whole of Epsom and Ewell and the neighbouring areas, including Banstead, Ashtead and Worcester Park.
Do you only do hog roasts, or can we have a BBQ in Epsom?
Both, and lamb too. Plenty of Epsom events have a BBQ on its own or alongside the hog roast. Have a look at the BBQ menu for ideas.
