Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Selborne
A summer party for staff in Selborne doesn’t have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. We serve rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and salads, and typical bookings are for summer team parties and long-service celebrations.
For farms and rural sites near Selborne, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Why choose a hog roast in Selborne?
Next to street-food vans, a hog roast feeds a lot of people quickly from one roast. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Planned to your running order

Open days in Selborne normally finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules.
China crockery is available for client events.
Selborne questions
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Selborne close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
