Wedding hog roast in Selham
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Wedding hog roast in Selham, carved to order
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Selham suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We’re often asked to cater weddings in a family garden and intimate weddings, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and salads.
A wedding in a small place like Selham frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Selham questions
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Selham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Where the roaster can go in Selham
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
