What else we do in Boughton Green
Common questions in Boughton Green
Can you cater after a service at Coxheath Congregational Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Boughton Green close to London?
About 33 miles from central London.
What if people arrive late?
That is fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
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.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level outdoor area
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- A safe distance from the hall
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We dress smartly and keep a low profile throughout.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
