Party hog roast in Northam, slow-roasted on site
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Typical bookings include street parties and garden parties, with hog roast rolls, jacket potatoes and coleslaw.
Parties around Northam are often relaxed garden affairs. It suits that kind of party. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Party venues around Northam
Northam is about 1 mile south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. Wherever your party is in Northam, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. We bring hog roasts to all 40 towns and villages across Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.
For party guests on the train, the closest railway station is Bitterne station, roughly 0.6 miles north of the centre. Within reach of Northam are historic houses such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden (1.3 miles south-west) and Medieval Merchant's House (1.4 miles south-west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. Northam is within about 8 miles of the New Forest National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, gardens can catch the wind, and we always plan for it.
This part of Southampton takes in SO14, SO19 and SO18, so your party can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Sea Road, Lumpy Lane and Cross Road; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Peartree Green (1 mile south), Bitterne Manor (1 mile north), Itchen (1 mile south-east), St Mary's (1 mile south-west) and Bitterne (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as Regents Park (3 miles west), Maybush (3 miles north-west), Coxford (3 miles north-west), Lordswood (3 miles north-west), Eling (5 miles west) and Rownhams (4 miles north-west).

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Northam
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Augustine: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Can you cater in Northam?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Northam and the rest of Southampton included. Send us the address for a quote.
Why choose a hog roast in Northam?
Compared with takeaway pizzas, the roast is an event in itself. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, it is light in Northam until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the invite
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Catered or do it yourself?
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 do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
