Coxford is about 2 miles north-west of Southampton, in Southampton. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Coxford and the surrounding area. Coxford is one of 40 places in Southampton we cover.
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Redbridge station, about 1.6 miles south-west, is the nearest station. Coxford sits roughly 70 miles from central London. With the New Forest National Park within about 8 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. The coast is within about 3 miles, and open sites can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a staff barbecue, everyone gets to join in. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Coxford, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
