Christmas parties in Newbridge: local tips
Newbridge is about 3 miles west of Totton, in Hampshire. Wherever your Christmas party is in Newbridge, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. We cover all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. We cater events right across the region, from Newbridge to Southampton (about 8 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Copythorne CofE Infant School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Mary draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
