Hog roast hire for your event in Selhurst
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We are frequently asked to cater sports clubs and societies and community events, with coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
In a London neighbourhood like Selhurst, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and a photo helps us check. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Selhurst, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Questions from Selhurst
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. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in South Norwood Recreation Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
