Our hog roast service in Horley
Horley sits at the southern tip of Surrey, right beside Gatwick Airport and the West Sussex border. The airport shapes the town: hotels, car parks, logistics firms, aviation-related offices and a large number of people who work shifts nearby. The M23 and A23 run close by, the Brighton main line has a station in the centre, and just beyond the houses are farmland and villages such as Smallfield, Charlwood and Burstow.
We provide hog roast and BBQ catering in Horley for workplaces and for private parties, cooked on site and carved to order. For aviation and logistics businesses that often means planning around security, shift patterns and restricted parking, and we build all of that into the plan before the day.
We cater across Horley as part of our hog roast catering in Surrey. For the full picture of how we work, see our full-service hog roasts page.
Where we cater in Horley
Corporate events are the distinctive part of the Horley diary. Airport-related businesses, freight and logistics sites, and offices around the airport all have staff to thank and teams working round the clock. A hog roast or BBQ served across a longer window means day and night shifts can both be fed.
Away from the airport, Horley is a family town with a growing number of newer estates, and garden parties, birthdays and community events make up the rest of our work. The villages east towards Smallfield and west towards Charlwood have bigger plots and farmland for marquee events. Aircraft noise is part of life here — it rarely bothers guests, but it's worth knowing for speeches.

BBQ catering in Horley
For events in Horley 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.

Airport and logistics workplaces need a caterer who can deal with security procedures, site inductions and awkward parking. We provide vehicle details in advance, follow site rules on the day and serve to a schedule that works around shifts. Read more on corporate catering.
Corporate cateringBirthday & private parties
Birthday parties, christenings and summer get-togethers in family gardens are the other half of our Horley work. A hog roast feeds everyone generously, and a BBQ option keeps the children happy.

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
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.
A whole lamb roastBBQ options
Grill favourites cooked to order: burgers, sausages, chicken thighs, halloumi skewers and vegan sausages, all served with rolls and a full sauce line-up.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
Most Horley 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
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.

Hog roast FAQs for Horley
Can you cater at a site near Gatwick with security restrictions?
Usually, yes. Tell us the site's requirements — vehicle registrations, induction or escort rules — and we'll supply what's needed in advance. Some areas close to the airport have strict rules of their own, so let us know exactly where the event will be and we'll check what's possible.
Can you serve both day and night shifts at a Horley workplace?
Yes. We can serve over a longer window or run two separate services so everyone gets hot food. Tell us the shift times and headcount for each.
Which villages around Horley and Gatwick do you cater in?
Charlwood, Smallfield, Salfords, Burstow and the wider area around Gatwick on both sides of the Surrey–Sussex border.
What do you need from us on the day?
A reasonably level area for our equipment, a route we can wheel it along, and somewhere to park nearby. We'll ask about access, gates and venue rules when you enquire — our outdoor catering checklist covers the rest.
