Planning help
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to a staff barbecue, everyone gets to join in. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Fair Oak hosts choose us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
- Timed around your day

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Questions from Fair Oak
Is Fair Oak too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Fair Oak from London?
About 49 miles from central London.
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.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Where on site can you cook?
A car park, yard or grounds usually works, given level ground and clearance.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you feed staff and families?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
