How our corporate hog roast works in Compton
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. We serve hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater summer staff parties and thank-you lunches.
Near Compton, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Timings are planned around your staff event, working back from when you want to eat.

FAQs for Compton
How far is Compton from London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London.
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.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
What will our facilities team need?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can you cater in Compton?
Yes, Compton is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll plan around them.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Timed around your day
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the roaster
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw
- Salads
- Spit-roast lamb

For planners, venues and organisers
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.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some staff won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. After-work summer events in Compton have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
