Corporate hog roast in Northam
About our corporate hog roast in Northam
Staff days in Northam work well with a hog roast: rolls are fast to serve and easy to eat. There are choices for people who don’t eat pork. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads, and typical bookings are for milestone celebrations and retirements and long-service awards.
Around Northam, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A hog roast suits all of them. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Northam
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in East Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Where on site can you cook?
Anywhere suitable and approved, as long as it is outdoors.

Other occasions in Northam
Northam for staff days and open days
Northam is about 1 mile south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. We are happy to travel to Northam for staff events. We bring hog roasts to 40 places in Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: the closest railway station is Bitterne station, roughly 0.6 miles north of the centre. Historic houses near Northam include Southampton Tudor House and Garden (1.3 miles south-west) and Medieval Merchant's House (1.4 miles south-west). Historic venues suit client days, but check their rules on gas cooking first. With the New Forest National Park within about 8 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. The coast is within about 2 miles, and open sites can be breezy.
Staff events anywhere in SO14, SO19 and SO18 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many staff. That could mean a staff event in a garden on Sea Road, Lumpy Lane and Cross Road, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Other places close to Northam we cover include 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).

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Evening staff events in Northam need light after sunset: about 9:25pm in June, 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December.
