Christmas hog roast in Breach, slow-roasted on site
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. For lights switch-on evenings and end-of-year team celebrations, we can cook apple sauce, roast potatoes and crackling for your guests.
In winter near Breach, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. By about 3:50pm in late December, Breach is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

What the cooking area needs

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
