FAQs for Waltham Chase
What’s the nearest station to Waltham Chase?
Botley station, about 2.7 miles south-west of the centre.
How far is Waltham Chase from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Open days in Waltham Chase normally finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

What we serve, dish by dish

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week

- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
