Hog roast hire in Compton
Hog roast hire in Compton, carved to order
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is hog roast hire in Compton. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. For sports clubs and societies and christmas fairs, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, coleslaw and crackling and more.
Somewhere as small as Compton, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
What a hog roast costs

- Crockery choices
