Common questions in Garlinge
Can you roast near the sea around Garlinge?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Which station is closest to Garlinge?
Margate station, about 0.8 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
It can be dressed up, with plates or china.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Where on site can you cook?
Wherever your facilities team agrees, as long as it’s outdoors.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
If it is a themed open day, tell us.
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. After-work summer events in Garlinge have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:45pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day

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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
