Acorn, Harlequin and Golden nugget squash grow off a compact (non-trailing) bush. I grew a variety called Table King Acorn that were delicious when halved and roasted in the oven. Tasted like sweet potato.

Yep, you need a bush variety as opposed to the usual trailing ( aka rampant ) varieties.
The size of the fruit won't make any difference
Some good suggestions above, one I've grown is Table Gold which produced an average of 7 fruits per plant the same size as a courgette

The other possibility to cosider is to make some kind of framework to train a trailing squash up

Thanks Stupot / Lovage,

I could do some sort of frame Lovage, if so what other/s would you recommend?

I have Golden Nugget seeds in my Seed Swap. Highly recommended, a great little plant
