Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Why choose a hog roast in Compton?
Next to doing it all yourself, you get to enjoy the party. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
