Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
About our hog roast hire in Breach
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We are often asked to cater wakes and festive gatherings, with crackling, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Breach, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Breach: your questions answered
How far is Breach from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in Berengrave Chalk Pit?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Will people get crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Do we need a big space?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which typically keeps the cost down. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Around midsummer it stays light in Breach until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
