Common questions in Selhurst
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mark?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What if our house in Selhurst has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What if the service runs late?
Name someone we can call and we will adjust.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Where can you serve a wake?
Most places, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Travel to Selhurst
- Plates or china
- Time on site
- Numbers
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A safe distance from the hall
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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Summer evenings in Selhurst stay light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
