FAQs for Fair Oak
How far is Fair Oak from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Fair Oak?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Winter weddings in Fair Oak are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or RG19 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission for outside catering
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to other evening food, carving serves plenty of people fast. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
