Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
About our wedding hog roast in Comp
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. On the menu are new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings in a family garden and blessings and renewals.
A wedding in a small place like Comp often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Light near the carving station after dark
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
- New potatoes

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book our hog roast in Comp
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Sides to make it a full meal

What affects the price in Comp
