Slow-roasted pork in Breamore
Wedding hog roast in Breamore, slow-roasted on site
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Popular choices include carved roast pork, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for wedding breakfasts and barn and farm weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Breamore often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What else we do in Breamore
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. For a summer wedding in Breamore, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:05pm.

- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.

How to prepare

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For event organisers in Breamore

Breamore: your questions answered
Is Breamore too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at St Boniface?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
