Borden questions
Which station is closest to Borden?
The closest is Sittingbourne station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Could you cook in Cromers Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Looking after everyone
Some crew won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Give us one contact in production, generally locations or the production office.
Ask about china.

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
