Party hog roast in Compton, carved to order
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. Popular choices include apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re regularly asked to cater naming ceremonies and summer parties in the garden.
Country parties near Compton suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Compton
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically 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. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Evening parties in Compton need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
