Wedding hog roast in Selsdon
Wedding hog roast near Selsdon
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. Whether it’s wedding breakfasts with sides and evening receptions, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork and more.
Weddings in a place like Selsdon frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.

Selsdon: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Littleheath Woods?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at St Francis?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What comes with the hog roast?

Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.
