Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:

- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Harefield questions
Is Harefield close to London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Itchen Valley Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
Christmas parties in Harefield: local tips
Harefield is about 2 miles east of Southampton, in Southampton. Christmas parties in Harefield are part of our patch. Harefield is one of 40 towns and villages in Southampton where we cater.
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Harefield Primary School, hot rolls go down well. Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St James can book a hog roast stall. With the sea within about 3 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Wherever your Christmas party is in SO18, SO19 and SO30, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a Christmas party in a garden on Dean Road, Marne Road and Keats Road or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Harefield is on the A334, which makes the journey straightforward. Neighbouring places where we cater Christmas parties include Thornhill (1 mile south), West End (1 mile north), Chartwell Green (1 mile north), Bitterne (1 mile south-west) and Townhill Park (1 mile north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Shirley (4 miles west), Regents Park (4 miles west), Maybush (5 miles west), Coxford (4 miles west), Freemantle (4 miles west) and Lordswood (4 miles north-west). Harefield is one of the larger places we cover in Southampton, with plenty of venues for Christmas parties.
Nearby you’ll also find Moorgreen Hospital (1.1 miles north-east) and Netley Castle (3 miles south). Within reach you’ll find Netley Common.
- Local schools include Woodlands Community College (less than half a mile east) and The Gregg School (1.1 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include The Red Lion pub (0.7 miles south-west)
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. A lunchtime Christmas party in Harefield is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Other occasions in Harefield
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Count who does not eat pork
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label alternatives clearly
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Where the roaster can go in Harefield
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access close by
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Clearance from walls and tents
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
