About our Christmas hog roast in Chilswell
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Chilswell suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. Typical bookings include winter fairs and markets and office Christmas parties, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
For a Christmas party near Chilswell, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Chilswell in December: what to know
Chilswell is about 3 miles south-west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Wherever your Christmas party is in Chilswell, we can bring the roaster, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. Chilswell is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover.
A Christmas fair at Church of St Lawrence is just the kind of event a hog roast suits. A winter fair at a school like Matthew Arnold School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.
Anywhere in OX1, we can bring the roaster to you. Neighbouring places where we cater Christmas parties include Boars Hill (1 mile south), Hinksey Hill (1 mile east), Harcourt Hill (1 mile north), South Hinksey (1 mile north-east) and Bayworth (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (3 miles north-east), Didcot (8 miles south), Bicester (13 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (3 miles south), Witney (10 miles north-west) and Carterton (13 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Westgate Shopping Centre (2 miles north-east) and Radcliffe Infirmary (2.6 miles north-east). Within reach you’ll find Harcourt Hill and Lashford Lane Fen.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Christmas parties in Chilswell are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.

Questions from Chilswell
Could you cook in Raleigh Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Chilswell?
Oxford station, about 2 miles north of the centre.
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 work back from your serving time.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access close by
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the roaster
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Roast potatoes
- Roast turkey
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
