Party hog roast near Mansbridge
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for retirement parties and family reunions.
In a place like Mansbridge, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Planning a party in Mansbridge
Mansbridge is about 2 miles north-east of Southampton, in Southampton. We cover parties in Mansbridge. We bring hog roasts to all 40 towns and villages in Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.
Nearby historic houses include South Stoneham House (0.5 miles west) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (3.2 miles south-west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. A christening at St. Mary's Church followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. Near the coast, within about 3 miles, gardens can catch the wind, and we always plan for it.
Parties anywhere in SO18, SO16 and SO17 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. From Wide Lane, Dart Road and Copse Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the roaster to you. You will find Mansbridge on the A27, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. If your venue is just outside Mansbridge, we also cover Townhill Park (1 mile south-east), Swaythling (1 mile west), Midanbury (1 mile south), Chartwell Green (1 mile south-east) and Bitterne Park (1 mile south). Further out, we also cater in Shirley (3 miles west), Regents Park (3 miles west), Sholing (3 miles south), Maybush (4 miles west), Woolston (3 miles south) and Coxford (3 miles west).

- Local pubs include The Fleming Arms Public House (0.6 miles north-west)
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant booking, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Mansbridge hosts choose us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Served at the time you choose
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
Mansbridge questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How far is Mansbridge from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you cover Mansbridge?
Yes, Mansbridge is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A step-free way into the garden
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Parking close to the house
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In Mansbridge, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
