DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How our wedding hog roast works in Arlington
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. Popular choices include carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we’re often booked for the day after the wedding and garden weddings at home.
Near Arlington, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels special.

Common questions in Arlington
Is Arlington close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Arlington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Arlington, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
