About our wedding hog roast in Fair Oak
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. Popular choices include new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for the day after the wedding and evening food after the first dance.
For a smaller place like Fair Oak, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Step by step
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your wedding. In Fair Oak, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Fair Oak questions
Can you cater after a service at Saint Thomas?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Fair Oak from London?
About 64 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Will guests be full?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

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 nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Lighting for evening service
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
