Arundel: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Arundel Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Arundel?
The closest is Arundel station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Festive bookings around Arundel
Arundel is about 3 miles north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Wherever your Christmas party is in Arundel, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. We cover all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 19 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like St Philip's Catholic Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. If a church like Trinity Congregational Church is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. Arundel is within about 4 miles of the South Downs National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. The coast is within about 4 miles of Arundel, and winter sea winds can be bitter.

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. A lunchtime Christmas party in Arundel is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
