If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
What affects the price in Compton
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Compton questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Pucks Oak Barn and McAlmont Reserves?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you cater in Compton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Compton and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Seating for residents
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- A level spot in the garden or car park
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
