Farleigh Green: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Farleigh Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you do a hog roast in Quarry Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you cater in Farleigh Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Farleigh Green and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can visitors buy their own food?
That depends on the event. Tell us what you have in mind and we will talk it through.
Do you need power on site?
Mainly a pitch and access. Everything else comes with us.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Signpost the stall clearly
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In December, Farleigh Green is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
