Wedding hog roast in Compton, slow-roasted on site
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for the main wedding meal and small, informal weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Compton frequently 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. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Compton
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary and St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Compton close to London?
About 50 miles from central London.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you cater in Compton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Compton and West Berkshire. Send us the address for a quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A choice of salads and potatoes
What affects the price in Compton
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Permission for outside catering
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A serving area close to where guests eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
From the roaster
- New potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Crackling
- Salads
- Spit-roast lamb
- Stuffing and apple sauce
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, 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’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Perfect for your wedding in Compton
The carving station brings guests together, and it looks great in photos.
Hosts in Compton book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. For example:

Before booking anyone
- The full menu and the sides
- Allergen information for every dish
- A clear list of what’s included
- How many staff will carve and serve
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give final numbers in good time
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Winter weddings in Compton are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your guests
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
