Market Pop-Up

Where stories simmer and sandwiches sizzle.

Catch Forklore on the move at local markets across the Ottawa region — from Merrickville to Stittsville and beyond — serving up bold bites, smoky meats, and handcrafted flavours that turn heads (and feed hungry hearts).

We bring an innovative and ever-changing menu to each pop-up, made mostly of handheld, easy-to-eat foods. Think smoky brisket grilled to perfection, Cubanos crisp off the press, chicken that’s been slow-cooked all morning, and slaws with just the right tang. Every dish is designed to satisfy — warm, filling, and full of Forklore flair.

We rotate our offerings with the seasons, the vibe, and what we’re most excited to serve. Whether it’s pickles and pulled pork or smoked meat and mustard, each pop-up is a one-day-only tale told through food.

Want Forklore at Your Market or Event?

We love collaborating with local events, fairs, breweries, and community markets. If your space allows us to set up our tent or use your kitchen, we’d be thrilled to bring Forklore to your crowd.

Our setup is flexible — and our food brings people in. Whether you’re after slow-smoked comfort food or fast-grilled handhelds, we’ll serve meals that make your event a little warmer, a little tastier, and a lot more memorable.
