Planning a Christmas party in Chilworth
Chilworth is about 2 miles south-west of Chandler's Ford, in Southampton. Wherever your Christmas party is in Chilworth, we can bring the roaster, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. Chilworth is one of 40 towns and villages in Southampton where we cater.
For anyone getting the train home after the party, Swaythling station is about 1.9 miles away. If a church like Church of St Denys is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. With the sea within about 5 miles, December breezes can be cold.
Christmas parties anywhere in SO16 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. We can cater a Christmas party on streets such as Heatherlands Road, Roman Road and Pinelands Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook.

Questions from Chilworth
Could you cook in Lakeside Country Park?

Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Plan a warm place for guests.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
