Christmas parties in North End: local tips
North End is about 1 mile north of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. Christmas parties in North End are part of our patch. North End is one of 19 places in Portsmouth where we cater. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 15 miles away.
For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Hilsea station, roughly 1.2 miles north-east of the centre. A winter fair at a school like Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. With the sea within about 3 miles, December breezes can be cold.
Anywhere in PO2 and PO1, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Knox Road, Croft Road and Kirby Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. North End is on the A2047, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Rudmore (1 mile south-west), Tipner (1 mile west), Portsmouth (1 mile south), Copnor (1 mile south-east) and Hilsea (1 mile north-east).
A little further out are Royal Portsmouth Hospital (1.2 miles south) and Charles Dickens Birthplace Museum (0.8 miles south-west). Within reach you’ll find Portsdown Hill and Milton Locks.
- Nearby schools include Mayfield School (0.5 miles north-east) and St Edmund's Catholic School (1.3 miles south)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Clarence pub (within half a mile east)
- Local facilities include Southsea (2.4 miles south)

Read our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Any venue rules
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
