Planning a party in Coxford
Coxford is about 2 miles north-west of Southampton, in Southampton. We cater parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Coxford and the surrounding area. We cover all 40 towns and villages in Southampton.
Thinking of a hog roast in St James' Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. Nearby historic houses include South Stoneham House (2.8 miles east) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (2.8 miles south-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Coxford is within about 8 miles of the New Forest National Park, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. The coast is within about 3 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
This part of Southampton takes in SO16 and SO15, and we can cater your party anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Link Road, Palm Road and Vine Road, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. For parties just outside Coxford, we cover 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).
Nearby you will also find Princess Anne Hospital (within half a mile east) and Foresters Museum & Archive (2 miles south-east). Open spaces near Coxford 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’ll find Bridge Tavern (within half a mile south-west)
Coxford: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Jude's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you cover Coxford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Coxford and the rest of Southampton included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What about the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with takeaway pizzas, the roast is an event in itself. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Our staff serve and clear
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Parking close to the house
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, it’s light in Coxford until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
