How event catering works in Southampton
If you’re searching for caterers in Southampton, you probably want someone who turns up, cooks well and clears away. That’s what we do, with a hog roast or a barbecue. Typical bookings include milestone birthdays and care home summer events, with hog roast rolls with crackling, beef burgers and spit-roast lamb.
All our cooking equipment comes with us, and we set up where we agreed with you. From there, food is timed to your serving time.
- Send us your date, venue and rough numbers.
- Choose your menu with us.
- We set up before food time.
- We serve when you are ready.

Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is what matters most. Here’s what helps:
- Space to serve as well as cook
- Flat ground outdoors for the cooking
- A green light from whoever owns the site
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
