Slow-roasted pork in Compton
How our party hog roast works in Compton
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. Typical bookings include family reunions and big birthday parties, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Country parties near Compton suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Common questions in Compton
Can you cater after a service at St Marys Parish Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you come to Compton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Compton and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. For an evening party in Compton, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive

Parties in Compton: homes, halls and local tips
Compton is about 1 mile east of Farnham, in Surrey. We cover Compton and its neighbours for parties. Compton is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 9 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Farnham Castle (1.8 miles west) and Wanborough Manor (4.6 miles east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. Guests arriving by train should know that Farnham station, about 1.3 miles west, is the nearest station. Compton is within about 7 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Parties anywhere in GU10 and GU9 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. Streets in the area include Moor Park Lane, Compton Way and Moor Park Way, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Runfold (1 mile east), The Sands (1 mile east), Badshot Lea (1 mile north), Farnham (1 mile west) and Sandy Cross (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (9 miles east), Woking (11 miles north-east), Camberley (9 miles north), Frimley (7 miles north), Haslemere (9 miles south) and Cranleigh (13 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Farnham Castle (1.8 miles west) and Seale and Tongham (1.8 miles east). Open spaces near Compton include Runfold Wood and Culverswell Hill.
- Nearby, you’ll find Shepherd & Flock pub (0.9 miles north-west)
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about children’s portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
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.
Perfect for your party in Compton
Children normally love it, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussier eaters.
Here’s what people in Compton most frequently book a hog roast for:
- Wedding anniversaries
- Retirement parties
- Engagement parties
- 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays
Thinking of a hog roast in Moor Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, typically the council’s, and many parks do not allow it.
