What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Hog roast hire in Selsdon, carved to order
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Selsdon, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We serve salads, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings, day or evening and corporate events.
There may be a hall or playing field near Selsdon if the garden is small; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

Common questions in Selsdon
Could you cook in Littleheath Woods?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at St Francis: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
