What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for crew who don’t eat pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- A named contact at base
Selhurst is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Selhurst: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Selhurst?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in South Norwood Recreation Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we’ll be ready.
Do you need much space at base?
At base, on level ground. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
What about a wrap party?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party.
