Common questions in Boughton Lees
What’s the nearest station to Boughton Lees?
The closest is Wye station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Is Boughton Lees too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Where on site can you cook?
A car park, yard or grounds generally works, given level ground and clearance.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a staff lunch in Boughton Lees, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
