Fair Oak: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Saint Thomas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Fair Oak?
The closest is Hedge End station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
