Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Compton
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Where the roaster can go in Compton
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A short route for our equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
