Selsted questions
Can you roast near the sea around Selsted?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you cover Selsted?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Selsted and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If it’s for clients, add china, sides and a second roast to make it more formal. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
