Folly Town: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Folly Town too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Each site is different: send us the checklist and we’ll reply.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
