About our party hog roast in Selham
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Selham suit a hog roast: one roast, enough for a crowd. We serve and tidy up. We serve coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater anniversary parties and neighbourhood parties.
Country parties near Selham suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, it’s light in Selham until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.

Getting ready for the day

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Selham parties: what to know
Selham is about 8 miles south of Haslemere, in West Sussex. We take a hog roast for your party to gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Selham. Selham is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Selham to Guildford (19 miles away).
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St James, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Selham is within about 3 miles of the South Downs National Park, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Selham: your questions answered
We are 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. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you cover Selham?
Yes, Selham is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll tell you if it works.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
