About our party hog roast in West End

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in West End
Could you cook in Itchen Valley Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St James: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do we need cover?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, it is light in West End 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.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

A green space like Itchen Valley Country Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s.

Planning a party in West End
West End is about 2 miles east of Southampton, in Hampshire. Thinking about a hog roast for your party in West End? We can help. West End is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover.
A christening at Church of St James followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. For guests coming by train, Southampton Airport Parkway station, about 1.8 miles north-west, is the nearest station. Near the coast, within about 4 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
For parties in SO30 and SO18, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. From High Street, Hatch Mead and Glenlea Close or anywhere nearby, we can set up and roast there. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Chartwell Green (1 mile west), Harefield (1 mile south), Townhill Park (1 mile west), Midanbury (1 mile west) and Mansbridge (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Winchester (9 miles north), Gosport (12 miles south-east), Eastleigh (3 miles north), Fareham (8 miles south-east), Horndean (14 miles east) and Totton (7 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Netley Castle (3.7 miles south) and Marlands Shopping Centre (3.3 miles south-west). Open spaces near West End include Netley Common.
- Nearby schools include Woodlands Community College (0.7 miles south) and The Gregg School (0.8 miles west)
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with takeaway pizzas, the roast is an event in itself. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
