How our party hog roast works in Sellindge
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for big family get-togethers and street parties.
Near Sellindge, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Sellindge, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
