Slow-roasted pork in Compton
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Compton
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Compton. Popular choices include apple sauce, roast turkey and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for office Christmas parties and winter open days.
For a Christmas party near Compton, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Compton in December: what to know
Compton is about 3 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. We take a hog roast for your Christmas party to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Compton and the surrounding area. Compton is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we cater.
For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Farncombe station, roughly 1.6 miles south-east of the centre. Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Nicholas can book a hog roast stall.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Sunset in Compton in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
