Slow-roasted pork in Fairlands
About our party hog roast in Fairlands
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. We are often asked to cater family reunions and neighbourhood parties, with apple sauce, coleslaw and a vegan burger or sausage.
In a small place like Fairlands, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Timings are planned around your party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Fairlands
Could you cook in Chitty's Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Fairlands from London?
About 28 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater in Fairlands?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Fairlands and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll tell you if it works.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

How we price a hog roast for your party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
