Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Compton: your questions answered
Is Compton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Compton?
The closest is Shawford station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.
Do you come to Compton?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Sunset in Compton in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Planning help
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve hot rolls on cue, carved fresh.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
