Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request thin slices
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear away quietly.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your care home event in Folkington. For a summer hog roast day in Folkington, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.

Common questions in Folkington
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Folkington from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
