Common questions in Breach
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Breach?
The closest is Newington station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Party hog roast in Breach, carved to order
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. We serve apple sauce, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re regularly asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and engagement celebrations.
Near Breach, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A summer party in Breach stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about children’s portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Serving and clearing done for you

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A heads-up for next door
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
