Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Wedding hog roast in Breach, carved to order
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Breach. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re frequently booked for small, informal weddings and home weddings.
Near Breach, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Planners, venues and businesses

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Breach: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Berengrave Chalk Pit?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A serving area close to where guests eat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
