What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
For event organisers in Breach
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
A hog roast compared with other options
Rather than relatives cooking, a catered hog roast lets everyone be together. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Breach hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved to order by a chef
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Sides to make it a full meal

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In winter, it is dark in Breach by about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
