The natural expression is, 'I went to the party with a friend.'

Is the comma necessary?

Thanks.

In many British usage guides the introductory comma is advised if it follows a phrase of more than four words.

@contrex,

Thanks, contrex.

"I went to the party with a friend" is a sentence, so I presume a comma is not necessary. Am I right?

No comma is necessary unless it is desired to make a special point that you did not go to the party alone.
