How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event in Folkington. At midsummer, events in Folkington stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.

What else we do in Folkington
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

FAQs for Folkington
Do you come out to small places like Folkington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Folkington close to London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What will our event need from you?
Requirements vary. Share your list and we will respond.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
That depends on the event. Tell us what you have in mind and we will discuss the options.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
