About the food
Rotisserie chicken

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Selmeston
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Indoor space for eating
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Roast turkey can be added.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Cooking is always outdoors; serving can be indoors.
