A country party near Chilson is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- Travel to Chilson
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

FAQs for Chilson
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Chilson?
Ascott-Under-Wychwood station, about 1.2 miles west of the centre.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Chilson, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
