FAQs for Sellindge
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Sellindge too small for a hog roast?

When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
About our wedding hog roast in Sellindge
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat isn’t available. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and post-wedding gatherings, with spit-roast lamb, salads and halloumi skewers.
Near Sellindge, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, sunset in Sellindge is about 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.

A closer look at the menu

Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
For event organisers in Sellindge
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
