About our Christmas hog roast in Chadlington
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We’ll need light around the serving area. Whether it’s family Christmas gatherings and club and society Christmas parties, we can cook crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
For a Christmas party near Chadlington, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Chadlington: your questions answered
How far is Chadlington from London?
About 67 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Chadlington?
The closest is Charlbury station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
What about Christmas markets?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
