Hog roast for events in Breach
About our hog roast for events in Breach
Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day. Typical bookings include community days and street fairs and vintage rallies, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
For a village fête or field event near Breach, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Breach questions
Could you cook in Jumping Downs?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Breach?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you do charity events?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we will talk it through.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a burger van, a hog roast feels more special. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. For an autumn event in Breach, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
