Your questions about a hog roast in Arlington
Which station is closest to Arlington?
The closest is Berwick (Sussex) station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Pancras: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. By late September, sunset in Arlington is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
