Parties in Broughton: homes, halls and local tips
Broughton is about 8 miles north-west of Romsey, in Hampshire. Broughton is well within our area for parties and the places nearby. Broughton is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 14 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Mottisfont Abbey (3.9 miles south). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. After a christening at a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends.
Wherever your party is in SO20, we can roast on site for your guests. Your party could be at a house on High Street, Greyhound Mews and Plough Gardens, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster.

What the cooking area needs

- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Neighbours warned about the smell
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Sunset in Broughton is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.

Do you come out to small places like Broughton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.

Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up.
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 our garden suitable?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Think about children’s portions
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Add a dietary question to the invite
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
