Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
Send us the date, the address or ME13 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Wedding hog roast near Selling
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. Typical bookings include marquee receptions and home weddings, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and salads.
A wedding in a small place like Selling frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Selling, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.

Selling: your questions answered
Is Selling close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Is Selling 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’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why Selling hosts choose us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose
- An itemised quote
- Fresh carving at the serving station
