Location catering around Bossingham
Bossingham is about 6 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. We bring a hog roast for the crew to shoots anywhere in Bossingham, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. We bring hog roasts to 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Bossingham to Canterbury (6 miles away).
Crew coming by rail can use the station: Chartham station is about 4.8 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Acrise Place (4.9 miles south-east). Period locations like these usually keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early. Bossingham is within about 4 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and locations in protected landscapes frequently have rules about cooking and vehicles.
We bring hog roasts to shoots all over the CT4 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean a shoot in a garden on The Street, Bossingham Street and Manns Hill, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Neighbouring places where we cater shoots include Stelling Minnis (1 mile south-west), Waltham (2 miles west), Rhodes Minnis (4 miles south), Stowting Common (4 miles south-west) and Ottinge (4 miles south). Larger places within reach include Ashford (10 miles south-west), Canterbury (6 miles north), Dover (10 miles south-east), Folkestone (9 miles south-east), Whitstable (11 miles north) and Deal (14 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Kent and Canterbury Hospital (4.7 miles north).
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Bossingham
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

Do you come to Bossingham?

What if things run late?

What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
