The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. For a summer hog roast day in Compton, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
