Our hog roast service in Reigate
Reigate is an old market town at the foot of the North Downs, with its castle grounds and Priory Park close to the centre and the long ridge of Reigate Hill rising behind. To the west, Reigate Heath is open heathland with a windmill that doubles as a tiny church. The town has a settled, affluent feel: historic streets in the centre, large Victorian and Edwardian houses on the hillside roads, and good-sized gardens throughout.
Most of our hog roast work in Reigate is for private events in those gardens, plus weddings on the surrounding farmland and community events in the parks and halls. The pork is roasted on site and carved to order, with sides, sauces and breads, and a team on the counter from the first roll to the last.
We cater across Reigate 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 Reigate
Reigate's diary leans heavily towards private parties: 50th and 60th birthdays, wedding anniversaries, christening lunches and summer garden parties in the residential roads up towards the hill and out to Woodhatch and South Park. Schools, sports clubs and churches add fairs and fundraisers through the warmer months.
The hillside roads can be steep, some older houses in the centre have little parking, and the M25 junction up on the hill makes for busy traffic at peak times. None of that stops an event, but we'll agree arrival times and parking in advance.

A BBQ gives guests something a hog roast can't: choice. We run commercial grills in Reigate for work events, family parties and club days, cooking burgers, sausages, marinated chicken, halloumi and plant-based options as the queue moves.

Events we cater in Reigate
Wedding hog roasts
Couples with a Reigate connection often marry at a country venue nearby or at home, and a hog roast fits either way. We can serve the main meal with lamb as a second roast, or keep it to evening pork rolls with crackling after a formal dinner.
Catering for weddingsCorporate events
Reigate's corporate events are smaller and more personal than Redhill's — professional firms, local businesses and teams who want to host clients or staff in a garden setting rather than a meeting room. We match the formality to the occasion.
Corporate cateringBirthday & private parties
Garden parties are what Reigate does best. Good-sized plots, a sociable crowd and long summer evenings suit a hog roast served over several hours. For a winter gathering, our Christmas menu brings turkey and pigs in blankets to the counter.
Hog roasts for birthday parties · Catering for parties at homeWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
Nothing is carved in advance and left to sit. The pig goes on hours before service, fills the air with the smell of roasting pork, and is carved fresh for every guest with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce.
Sample 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.
A whole lamb roastBBQ options
Burgers, sausages and chicken for the meat-eaters, with halloumi, vegetable skewers and plant-based options cooked separately for everyone else.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
A roast without good sides is just meat in a bun. We make coleslaw and salads fresh, cook fries and sweet potato fries on site, and can add new potatoes, corn on the cob or a Greek-style salad depending on the season and the crowd.
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 Reigate
Do you cater at houses on the steeper roads up Reigate Hill?
Yes. We need somewhere reasonably level to set up, which is often a drive or parking area rather than the garden itself. Tell us about the gradient and the access and we'll plan around it.
Can you cater a christening lunch at home in Reigate?
Yes. A lunchtime hog roast or lamb roast with salads and potatoes works well for christenings, and we can keep it small and simple or scale it up for a bigger family gathering.
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.
