It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A short route for our equipment
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
As a London location, Selhurst is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from Selhurst
What’s the nearest station to Selhurst?
Selhurst has its own station: Norwood Junction station.
Can you do a hog roast in South Norwood Recreation Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you come to Selhurst?
Yes, Selhurst is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Sunset in Selhurst in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
