Common questions in Boughton Corner
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Boughton Corner?
Wye station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are usually enough.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
