FAQs for Highfield
Can you cater after a service at Highfield Church?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Highfield close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can we cook it ourselves?
You can hire the machine. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you come to Highfield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Highfield and Southampton. Send us the address for a quote.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Highfield parties: what to know
Highfield is about 1 mile north of Southampton, in Southampton. Our roaster is a regular sight at parties around Highfield, from gardens to fields. Highfield is one of 40 places in Southampton where we cater.

Nearby historic houses include South Stoneham House (1.1 miles north-east) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (2.1 miles south). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The coast is within about 3 miles, so breezy days are common, and we always plan for it.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Think about children’s portions
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For an evening party in Highfield, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
