Popular choices include crackling, roast turkey and hog roast rolls, and we are often booked for boxing Day and New Year gatherings and club and society Christmas parties.

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Christmas parties in Selborne are almost always after dark: sunset is about 4:00pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Selborne: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Selborne?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Cooking is always outdoors; serving can be indoors.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Is turkey available?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label alternatives clearly
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A lit route to the food
- Vehicle access close by
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
