FAQs for Boughton under Blean
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you roast near the sea around Boughton under Blean?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How early should we book for Christmas?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We serve hot rolls on cue, carved fresh.
Roast turkey can be added.
