Slow-roasted pork in Selham
How our hog roast hire works in Selham
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Selham, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include christmas fairs and sports clubs and societies, with crackling, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In a hamlet or village like Selham, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.

Your questions about a hog roast in Selham
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Selham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you travel across West Sussex?
All of West Sussex is in our area. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we choose catered or DIY?

How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Why choose a hog roast in Selham?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Selham hosts choose us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. By late September, sunset in Selham is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

How we price a hog roast
Your quote depends on:
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
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.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
