Planning a shoot in Inner Avenue
Inner Avenue is about 1 mile west of Southampton, in Southampton. Our roaster is a regular sight at shoots around Inner Avenue, from gardens to fields. We cover 40 places in Southampton.
Inner Avenue is roughly 69 miles from central London. Nearby historic houses include Southampton Tudor House and Garden (1.2 miles south) and Medieval Merchant's House (1.3 miles south).

The New Forest National Park is within about 8 miles of Inner Avenue, and locations in protected landscapes frequently have rules about cooking and vehicles. The coast is within about 2 miles of Inner Avenue, and coastal unit bases can be exposed.
We cover shoots in every part of SO14, SO15 and SO17 and the streets around it. Whether your shoot is on Alma Road, Rose Road and Lawn Road or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you. We also bring hog roasts to shoots in Southampton (1 mile east), Portswood (1 mile north-east), St Denys (1 mile north-east), Bitterne Manor (1 mile east) and St Mary's (1 mile south).

Why choose a hog roast in Inner Avenue?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Inner Avenue hosts choose us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, daylight in Inner Avenue ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your crew
