Compton: your questions answered

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Daytime open days in Compton are rarely affected by light, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.

- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
