Hosting a hog roast party in Arlington
Arlington is about 3 miles south-west of Hailsham, in East Sussex. We cover Arlington and its neighbours for parties. Arlington is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we cater. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 14 miles away.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as The Parish Church of St Pancras, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards.

For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Arlington
Is Arlington too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Pancras: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What’s included?
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.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can we cook it ourselves?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What happens on the day
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party in Arlington. A summer party in Arlington stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
