Two great days

Hog roast catering is a great way to get friends and/or family together. We provide a friendly and professional service which is loved by all. We receive complements after every service and event we cater for. This is a rewarding business, making events extra special with our culinary skills and wonderful produce. We cater all across the UK so no location is too far.

Last weekend Hog Roast Caterer had a marvellous time near Middlesbrough hosting a wonderful event for a double birthday party. Two neighbours both have children with the same birthday in the same week. So they decided to have a big party for them both. Taking the panels out of the back fence to create a wonderful surviving space for us. We were serving up our amazing banquet Party Menu 2; Spit Roasted Pig with Professionally Presented Crackling along with freshly made Stuffing and Piping Hot and Delicious Bramley Apple Sauce. Spit Roasted Chicken served with Piping Hot Delicious Stuffing, served with freshly Baked Floured bread rolls served with local Butter. This went down a treat, both were beautifully cooked and we receive a lot of praise for both dishes. The party was enjoyed by all and all in all was a huge success.

The next day with well cleaned machines we headed off to Leeds to cook a huge feast for 120 people who was attending a wedding. The Bride and Groom wanted a sit down dinner and wanted an extra special service to match the wedding service. We set up bright and early like always to make sure everything is spick and span for the lovely couple. We set up the tables neatly with sparkling clean cutlery, glasses along with set up table cloth and napkins. We set up the hog and started roasting away. We helped pick the menu for the couple which was Wedding Menu 3 with Capitulating Canapés, choice of Two Spectacular Spit Roasts which they picked; Spit Roasted Pig served with Applesauce Stuffing & Crispy Crackling also Spit Roasted Roast Beef served with Horse Radish Sauce, Yorkshire Pudding and Homemade Red Wine Gravy. These grand dishes were complemented with Seasonal Vegetables and Roasted New Potatoes in Rosemary and Garlic. Then to polish that feast down a delightful dessert which was Chocolate Delight. Then for the people who wasn’t nearly bursting some well presented Wedding Cake, thoughtfully we received a piece, which was thank you for everything.

After the service ended we have been received many thanks and some enquires too. We had an amazing time in Leeds and hope to be there soon.

Weekend to remeber

What a fantastic weekend! The sun was out and it made our weekend so spectacular and made our time in Preston delightful. We had to set up our Menu 1 for a big corporate show day, where company workers and guests come to the company.

We had to set up two our wonderful machines really early for this event yet we were there and ready on time like always. As the hogs were beautifully roasting away we set up our luscious freshly made apple sauce and starting cutting our soft white rolls. As we was doing this some of the workers started to arrive and enquired what we was doing, we kindly described to them we was roasting a hog for this event. They watched mouths watering at the site of pig sizzling away. As they watched more workers and guests arrived to join the group who were gathered watching the pig slowly roast away in its own juices. While the sun was beating down on the grand event to the workers and guests relief we hog was finally ready to be carved and served into the readymade buns with a little helping of our apple sauce with the hogs golden brown crispy crackling along with our freshly made sage and onion stuffing. A long line formed within a flash as they waiting in anticipation. Once we started to serve the Spit Roasted Hog buns out it wasn’t long before the queue and the meat slowly started to disappear.

Nearing the end of the event the sun started to fade away as well as the guests, we were given many complements on how perfect; the hog was roasted, the crackling from the hog were the best they had tasted, how soft the buns were, how the apple sauce wonderfully work with the meat as did the superb sage and onion stuffing. The company said “we defiantly want you to be here the next event we set up and we will recommend you to our partnering branches and businesses. We put our excellent machines back into our vans to be taken to back the factory and cleaned for the next outing.

We really do enjoy events like this one, when we please everyone there and are widely complement on our hard yet enjoyable work. Plus recommending us to new customers is something we really like due to the fact it helps our business thrive and we get to meet a new set of people and adore the new experiences they bring.

Spring Hog Roast

Here is another Hog Blog for you to sink your teeth into.

It’s spring time and on them perfect BBQ days when you get the sun shining brightly throughout the whole day and the family are over so why not spend that perfect day out in the sunshine with a hog sizzling at your fingertips? Our specially trained professionals can either host an event for you or you can hire one of our wonderful machines out. We can be hired out for pretty much any occasion from a business party to a wedding or even just a family get together.  We have satisfied many customers with our amazing food as well professional service we bring with us to every event. We know how to cater at professional heights since we have catered for local celebrities as well as huge companies.

With years of experience we have overcome many challenges and have travelled all over the UK to all kinds of events all year round. But it seems spring and summer is the main enquire times due to the fact the sun works perfectly with a hog roast. Nothing sounds better than enjoying a hog roast and an ice cold drink whilst being seated out in the sun getting that perfect tan. Yet we can set up in the rain or cold winter with our canopies or by hosting indoors, nothing stops us putting a smile on our customers faces.

Since I have been working for Hog Roast Caterer I have gained a very special experience, being part of a company where the customers are all satisfied with the quality of the beautifully cooked meat and the high regard for the customer. So many times we have been complemented on how amazing the meat was cooked and how they will definitely be in touch to host another event. We hosted an event for a big company in Birmingham last week and the company’s workers were amazed and mesmerized as the golden brown hog slowly roasted in the tray. A long line was quickly formed to watch the beautifully roasted hog bathe in it’s juices.

We, at Hog Roast Caterer, truly believe there is no better way to cook a hog and is the best meat out there. It is truly delightful when it is roasted and even better when it’s been done by one of our machines. Our machines work in perfect harmony with the hog to give it that perfect, tenderizing meat. You can hire one of our machines out yourself, have a look at Hire a Machine tab or the Buy a Machine tab, to truly take you to the next level of  the hog roasting experience. Hog roasting has become more and more known and popular within the UK.

What a Weekend

Hog roasting is a wonderful experience, if you have not experienced it yet you are totally missing out, more and more people are getting to know the experience of hog roasting and enjoying it so much they are doing it more than a couple of times a year, even saving up for their own machine or even starting their own business. Many events have been dazzled by the wonderful hog roast and even the people at that event will hire us again for their own event since they enjoyed it so much.

I will give you a glimmer of what you are missing out on; watching the beautiful hog laying there roasting away in its own juices, mouth watering meat that fall off the bone, crispy crackling with all the wonderful juices from the hog, plus if the chef or yourself may decide to roast other meat such a chicken, lamb, pork, beef and turkey. But to experience the full potential of a hog roast it is best to have hog as the centre piece. However you can also cook potatoes, in all different varieties, with the amazing machine so why not try mixing vegetables with the juices of the succulent hog or even making a delightful gravy.

Simply contact us and we will be there at an event of your choice whether it’s a wedding, any kind of party, or corporate event, we have set menu to wow guests and make their mouths water just by reading it. You will never forget the experience we bring to any events. We bring a high amount of quality and professionalism when we host which customers respect and love.

We had an event this weekend where we set up an extravagant banquet for a wedding in Southend-On-Sea. It was lovely being near the seaside with the sun beating down on everything giving that wedding a beautiful glow. It was honestly an amazing day Southend won their football match and the bride and groom had that perfect day they were dreaming of, especially with our food being served on the tables. After the wedding service the bride, the groom and the guests came outside to a banquet fit for a King and Queen, tables where laid neatly and the plates were ready and the hog was cooked to perfection.

We loved going from Southend-On-Sea all the way back to Nelson knowing we made a couples day that bit more special and putting so many smiles on so many faces.

Happy New Year

Hello hog roast fans, happy new year, I hope you had a fantastic holiday and I’m guessing we are all back at work this morning feeling a little sore after the festive activities. I thought I’d spend a little bit of time this morning keep you up to date with our movements over the holiday period and our plans for the new year.

Christmas was absolutely hectic for us this year we were fully booked on most days and we did our biggest new years eve ever. One event in particular that sticks in my mind is the private party we did in central London on New Years Eve. It was party on a rooftop which provided excellent views of the city and of course the firework display  was spectacular. It was a great night and the hog roast went down really well. That one of the best aspect of working as part of hog roast caterer is that you never get bored. During 2011 we have worked all over the UK on some truly fantastic events and met some great people along the way. We have seen the business grow this year which is amazing considering the economic climate and I am truly proud of the work we have done. New Years Eve spent on working on a rooftop party in London was just a fantastic way to cap it all off.

So here we are in 2012, and what’s new for this year? Well stay tuned for some exciting new menu options becoming available in the next few weeks.  January and February are always important for wedding booking so if your interested in letting us cater your special day then get in touch. Also we are gearing up with what we hope to be a busy summer what with the Olympics coming to town. So we are purchase a lot of new equipment as well as updating some of our hog roast machines. I’m really looking forward to 2012 and already today the phone has been ringing with event in the up coming months.

So here to a fantastic 2012 for all the hog roast caterer fans. We hope to hear from you soon.
