Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Compton: your questions answered
Is Compton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What about family fun days?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Do you cover Compton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Compton and West Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you set up in our car park?
A car park, yard or grounds generally works, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
How do we book for a business?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we’ll explain the booking terms.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a formal plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and generally better value. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- All the equipment comes with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Timed around your day

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. For a staff lunch in Compton, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
