Boughton Corner: your questions answered
How far is Boughton Corner from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Boughton Corner?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What about a wrap party?
Of course. Tell us the date and location.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Sides to make it a full meal
