About The Pig Place
This working farm offers a rustic, back to basics campsite. Located just outside of Banbury, it is a great base for exploring Oxfordshire, with both the Cotswolds and Bicester within easy reach, along with the famous Diddly Squat Farm from 'Clarkson's Farm'. There are a total of 45 grass pitches for tents and tourers, both of which come in a large variety of sizes for you to choose from. The pitches allow between two and six guests each, and some of the touring pitches also have an additional electric hook up. You will never have to worry about getting hungry here either. The wonderful outdoor cafe has delicious meals on offer all day, from a full English in the morning, to sandwiches at lunch and burgers in the evening. There is also an outdoor licensed bar with entertainment at the weekend in the evening. The farm shop is also a great spot for picking up some of the site's own produce. Discover delicious BBQ ingredients and fresh meat, along with cheese, jams and more! For the authentic camping experience, there are fire pit areas around the site with comfy sofas to unwind. You can also cook up your own BBQ but it must be raised from the ground. Dogs are welcome, and there is plenty of nearby countryside for them to stretch their legs. Please note, there are no onsite showers.
The Pig Place is open from 30/04 to 30/09.
There are several portable toilets onsite, but there are no showers. There is also a farm shop, along with an outdoor cafe and bar serving breakfast, lunch and dinner options. Non-campers are able to visit but there is a 6pm curfew for under 18's.
Off site, there are multiple eateries in Adderbruy, a 25 minute walk away. These include the Red Lion and The Coach and Horses.
