FAQs for Arlington
Is Arlington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
If it is a themed open day, tell us.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Why choose a hog roast in Arlington?
If it’s for clients, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
