Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Balance the food line-up
- Make the stall easy to find
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Common questions in Arlington
What’s the nearest station to Arlington?
Berwick (Sussex) station, about 1.2 miles west of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What comes with the hog roast?
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 the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cater in Arlington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Arlington and the rest of East Sussex included. Send us the address for a quote.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Arlington are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your visitors

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- A level pitch with firm ground
- A queuing area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- Numbers
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
