What else we do in Redbridge
Redbridge: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Redbridge?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a school fair in Redbridge?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
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. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
What paperwork do you provide?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we’ll respond.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Summer events in Redbridge have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Redbridge events: pitches and permissions
Redbridge is about 1 mile east of Totton, in Southampton. From village halls to gardens and fields, events around Redbridge suit a hog roast. Redbridge is one of 40 places in Southampton we cover.
If your event is in St James' Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for hot-food traders and vehicles. School fairs, for a school like Redbridge Primary School, are a natural fit for a hog roast. Events in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 6 miles of Redbridge, often have rules about cooking, vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements. The coast is within about 4 miles of Redbridge, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
We bring hog roasts to events all over SO40, SO16 and SO15. Streets in the area include Mill Road, Test Lane and Tate Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
