What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. A lunchtime Christmas party in Northam is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Northam
Which station is closest to Northam?
Bitterne station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Hot food suits winter perfectly, as long as guests have shelter.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you cover Northam?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Northam and Southampton. Send us the address for a quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
Where the roaster can go in Northam
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A short route for our equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Festive bookings around Northam
Northam is about 1 mile south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. Thinking about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Northam? We can help. Northam is one of 40 places in Southampton we cover.
If a church like Church of St Augustine is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. For anyone getting the train home after the party, Bitterne station, about 0.6 miles north, is the nearest station. Northam is within about 8 miles of the New Forest National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. The coast is within about 2 miles of Northam, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Christmas parties anywhere in SO14, SO19 and SO18 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Sea Road, Lumpy Lane and Cross Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Peartree Green (1 mile south), Bitterne Manor (1 mile north), Itchen (1 mile south-east), St Mary's (1 mile south-west) and Bitterne (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Regents Park (3 miles west), Maybush (3 miles north-west), Coxford (3 miles north-west), Lordswood (3 miles north-west), Eling (5 miles west) and Rownhams (4 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include Bitterne Local History Society Heritage And Research Centre (0.8 miles east) and Marlands Shopping Centre (1.2 miles west). The countryside around Northam includes Netley Common.

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Why choose a hog roast in Northam?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
