Parties in Southampton: homes, halls and local tips
Southampton is in England. We cater parties across Southampton and nearby, from gardens to fields. We bring hog roasts to all 40 towns and villages in Southampton.
Within reach of Southampton are historic houses such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden (1.4 miles south) and Medieval Merchant's House (1.5 miles south). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Saint Mary's, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Southampton is within about 8 miles of the New Forest National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. The coast is within about 2 miles, so breezy days are common, and we always plan for it.
Wherever your party is in SO19, SO16, SO15 and SO18, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From London Road, Marshall Square and Grosvenor Square or anywhere nearby, we can set up and roast there. With the A27 and A33 close by, Southampton is easy for us to reach. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Inner Avenue (1 mile west), St Denys (1 mile north-east), Bitterne Manor (1 mile east), Portswood (1 mile north) and Northam (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include Maybush (3 miles west), Eling (4 miles west), Rownhams (3 miles north-west), Hounsdown (5 miles west), Nursling (4 miles north-west) and Hillyfields (3 miles west).
A little further out are Marlands Shopping Centre (1 mile south-west) and R J Mitchell Museum (0.9 miles south-west). The countryside around Southampton includes Netley Common.
- Schools near Southampton include St Anne's Catholic School (0.6 miles south-west) and St Mary's Independent School (1.1 miles east)

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Common questions in Southampton
What’s the nearest station to Southampton?
St Denys station, in Southampton itself.
Can you cater after a service at Saint Mary's?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. By late September, sunset in Southampton is about 7:10pm; by December it is about 4:00pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

Why choose a hog roast in Southampton?
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Think about children’s portions
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
