Hog roast hire in Folkington, carved to order
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Whether it is summer garden parties and gatherings after a funeral, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, hog roast rolls and coleslaw for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Folkington, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

Common questions in Folkington
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How far is Folkington from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
