Slow-roasted pork in Folkington
Wedding hog roast near Folkington
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. We are frequently asked to cater weddings in a marquee and garden weddings at home, serving rotisserie chicken, salads and crackling.
Near Folkington, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Within reach of Folkington are historic houses such as Alfriston Clergy House (2.5 miles west) and Michelham Priory (3.4 miles north).

Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Folkington
How far is Folkington from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of Saint Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you cover Folkington?
Yes, Folkington is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.

A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Step-free access for our equipment
- A serving area close to where guests eat
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For event organisers in Folkington
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
