Community events around West End
West End is about 2 miles east of Southampton, in Hampshire. Hosts in West End book us for events of all sizes. West End is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover.
An event in Itchen Valley Country Park means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, generally the council. School fairs, for a school like Saint James' Church of England Primary School, are a natural fit for a hog roast. The coast is within about 4 miles of West End, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
For events in SO30 and SO18, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. That could mean an event in a garden on High Street, Hatch Mead and Glenlea Close, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. For events just outside West End, we cover Chartwell Green (1 mile west), Harefield (1 mile south), Townhill Park (1 mile west), Midanbury (1 mile west) and Mansbridge (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Winchester (9 miles north), Gosport (12 miles south-east), Eastleigh (3 miles north), Fareham (8 miles south-east), Horndean (14 miles east) and Totton (7 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Netley Castle (3.7 miles south) and Marlands Shopping Centre (3.3 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Netley Common.
- Schools near West End include Woodlands Community College (0.7 miles south) and The Gregg School (0.8 miles west)
What affects the price in West End
The price comes down to:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot 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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
