Fairseat: your questions answered
Is Fairseat close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Fairseat?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
