For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. By late September, sunset near Coxford is about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Planning a shoot in Coxford
Coxford is about 2 miles north-west of Southampton, in Southampton. We cater shoots at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Coxford. Coxford is one of 40 towns and villages in Southampton where we cater.
Coxford is about 70 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. Within reach of Coxford are historic houses such as South Stoneham House (2.8 miles east) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (2.8 miles south-east). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations. Coxford is within about 8 miles of the New Forest National Park, so check cooking and vehicle rules with locations. With the sea within about 3 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will eat.
For shoots in SO16 and SO15, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many crew. Local streets include Link Road, Palm Road and Vine Road; a shoot on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. We also bring hog roasts to shoots in Maybush (1 mile south-west), Lordswood (1 mile north-east), Shirley (1 mile south-east), Regents Park (1 mile south) and Hillyfields (1 mile west). Further out, we also cater in Townhill Park (4 miles east), Midanbury (3 miles east), Thornhill (5 miles east), Chartwell Green (4 miles east), Harefield (4 miles east) and Itchen (4 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Princess Anne Hospital (under half a mile east) and Foresters Museum & Archive (2 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Testwood Lakes.
- Local schools include Millbrook Community School (0.5 miles west) and Oasis Academy Lord's Hill (0.8 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you will find Bridge Tavern (less than half a mile south-west)
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Label the alternatives clearly
We serve quickly on the call.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
Questions from Coxford
