And, our catering manager will work with the chosen venue on the logistics, so you don’t have to worry about the finer details.

Hog Roast Marlow

How we serve the food is up to you, and how you’d like your engagement party to play out. If you’re envisioning a black-tie dinner dance in a swanky hotel, we’d recommend a sit-down meal, where a team of our friendly waiting staff will serve guests at their seats. Want a relaxed buffet with pulled pork rolls and mixed salads? That’s always a winner. And it’s not just about the main course, either. Hog Roast Marlow have a wide range of starters and desserts on the menu. You could even welcome guests to your party with a glass of fizz and delicious canapés. All of our packages are super flexible. Therefore, if you don’t quite see what you’re looking for, we can work with you to create a fully tailored package for your engagement party.

So, if you have recently said ‘yes’ to tie the knot, Hog Roast Marlow wish you our biggest congratulations. This is such an exciting time, and it deserves to be celebrated with your nearest and dearest. So, get in touch with the team today to check out our available dates and menu options.

Hog Roast Norwich – How To Set Up Your Event With Your Caterer

Putting together any event can be tricky. It doesn’t matter whether it is something as big as your wedding, as vital and pressurised as a showcase for your business, or as seemingly casual as a good get together with your friends and family. There are always plenty of pressures and plenty of decisions that need to be made.

But do not worry! When you come to Hog Roast Norwich we will make our part of the event planning experience as straightforward and as pressure free as possible. In doing so, we also hope that our service with you will also help other parts of the event to slot into place. Aspects like the schedule, timings of certain activities, the space for chairs, tables, etc – all of these things can come under the catering umbrella, so once you have your dining figured out with Hog Roast Norwich, everything else may start to take better shape, too.

Hog Roast Norwich To aid your planning with us, there are some things we may ask that you have an idea of ahead of your first discussion with us. Our team will need to know certain simple questions: what is the event for? What kind of style are you going for – formal, informal, outdoor dining or indoor, etc? What is your venue? How many guests are you looking to feed?

These questions and answers will help us right away in recommending you the right services and menus for your event. You don’t have to be totally exhaustive in your answers – at least not right away, especially if the event is still far off – but even just an idea will allow our team to put together some free quotes on a couple of menu packages that we believe will best suit what you have told us. From there the Hog Roast Norwich team will continue to work closely with you to customise and tailor your dining to be exactly as you need it. We understand that the planning may come in stages and may change all the time. That is fine by us. We’ll remain open to switches even toward the last minute before your event. After all, we are here to cater, and we take that responsibility in all aspects of the word.

So, don’t be put off by event planning. Instead, come to Hog Roast Norwich today and let us get your served right!

Easter Dining Brought to the Office with Hog Roast Stirling

There is little else more annoying than seeing the sun come out and the temperatures rise on the weekdays when you are at work. It always feels like the nice days are strictly reserved for the work days, doesn’t it? And then come the weekend when we are off the sun conveniently forgets to show up again until Monday morning.

But with Hog Roast Stirling there is an opportunity to bring some of that spring feeling into the workplace thanks to our specialist corporate catering services. This past week, as we start to head toward Easter, we had a corporate client of ours order for an Easter lunch to work. Seeing that the sun had decided to show up and spring began in earnest after the clocks went forward, our client thought it would be good for their staff team to be able to enjoy a lunchtime outside enjoying a delicious seasonal lunch. Hog Roast Stirling, of course, were all too happy to accommodate.

Having worked with this client before it was easy to set up a date for just two days from their initial call. We know the worksite, we know how we can best set up there, especially since it was going to be outdoors, and we know the allergy and nutritional requirements of this staff team already. That means all we needed to do was make sure our sourcing was available so that we could have all of our foods made from the best, most fresh meats and ingredients available. Fortunately, we could manage that, so our client’s team were able to enjoy a spring lunch in the sun with our own roast lamb and hog roast.

Lamb is popular for Easter specifically, so it was great to have that available at such short notice. It is a lighter roast just perfect for when the sun is out, and it balanced well with our hog roast and our fresh salads and sides. Our client was delighted that the Hog Roast Stirling team were able to put together such an incredible Easter feast in such a short time, and the staff were more than appreciative of the lunch out in the sun, too!

Three Decades of the Highest Corporate Hospitality in Catering at Hog Roast Manchester

Having been a corporate caterer for near enough three decades now, we at Hog Roast Manchester have had the fortune of working with so many incredible businesses and clients in the UK. From the largest networking events in major UK industries, to making our first successful events with some of the leading brands not only in this nation, but around the world too, to being there at the outset of some of our most valued local partners when they took their first steps into the corporate world as a new, independent business. It has been a joy to be your corporate caterer for three decades.

When our founding team started out on this venture we could never have quite imagined the success that would come our way. The team were used to catering the odd business event in amongst the more common private parties and then weddings, once we were more established, but we could never quite have the expected the extent to which our corporate catering would have been drawn out. We have established so many partnerships over the last thirty years, made so many incredible dishes for many an important client, and catered for thousands of industry heads and professionals across some of the biggest industries in the world. And yet, even after thirty years, we reckon we’re only just getting heated up now!

There is still so much more we are hoping to achieve in the corporate catering world. We have the well-earned reputation of quality and professional service confidently established now, but now that just means it is time to build even further upon that reputation. As the nation’s number one hog roast caterer, we have so much more we can add to your corporate events going forward. We have even more exciting ways to challenge your dining; we have even more openings for partners to become synonymous with the quality of Hog Roast Manchester; we have even more events we want to cook for. If you own a business or have the resource for your department, then consider joining the Hog Roast Manchester catering train today. We’ve got plenty of experience behind us, and even more fresh enthusiasm laying ahead – so come get cooking with us!

Veganuary Continues at Hog Roast Retford!

The last three weeks have seen Hog Roast Retford take on a slightly different shape for a lot of our catered events. While of course we are Hog Roast Retford: a roast pork and fine meat catering specialist, we have a lot of love for our vegan and veggie friends out there. During January, there is often a lot more of them too as many of us take on “Veganuary” (including some of the Hog Roast Retford team here. This is when people take the first month of the year to try either cut back on their meat consumption, or go fully vegetarian or even vegan for at least the full month of January. It coincides with other monthly trends, such as Dry January, where many of us take the first month of the year to try and refresh our lives for the better in one way or another.

Even as a roast meat specialist, the Hog Roast Retford team is fully behind Veganuary. We think it is excellent that people make such a conscious effort together for a month to try and better their lives with an eye on environmental protection, too. That is why when it has come to you January events, we have been so proud to offer a wholly different type of Hog Roast Retford dining experience to what you might typically expect from us. If you look at our menus you may find that there is a surprising amount of veggie and vegan options available. Often these are touted as “alternatives” however, but during Veganuary it is the hog roast that plays second fiddle to our main BBQ pulled jackfruit and assortment of delicious veggie and vegan skewers, salads, and side dishes!

Hog Roast Retford We have a great time over the last three weeks prepping some truly incredible wholesale veggie and vegan menus for many events. Making such a drastic change in your diet can be challenging, especially when it comes to things like events where it may be easy to revert back for just one day only. But with our eye on providing as good as you get in our veggie and vegan menus as you would find in our more “typical” meaty menus, the challenge becomes just as delicious as the norm!

Another week in December goes by, and another slate of incredible festive events are fed and watered here at Hog Roast Shropshire! Halfway through the month and it feels like we’re barely just getting started! The Hog Roast Shropshire team have fired straight into the festive season without so much as missing a beat, showing that our Winter Refresher Training was the right move to ensure momentum keeps up from festive event to festive event without the quality of our service ever suffering!

Every day is like an advent calendar for events. Instead of opening the door each morning to a bite of chocolate, we’re opening up with excitement to see who our special client is going to be for the afternoon or evening! With every single event we have massively enjoyed our time with each new customer and guest. It’s a joy to do what we do at this time of year especially, because the job revolves all around some really joyful celebrations with workplaces and clients who are just out to enjoy the season and the let loose for the end of the working year. Our festive menu just helps to supplement the good times at our festive events. The rest all comes down to the brilliance of the clients!

We’ve had longtime customers who have come to us again and again, we’ve met entirely new friends that we hope to see again, and we have many more that we still can’t wait to come and see soon for even more festive fun. It’s great to be able to join corporate clients that we have catered for throughout the year for their Christmas parties. For us, it puts a nice bow on what has been a successful year with a client. For them…well we figure it means they know the kind of quality dining that their festive party is going to be getting! As for newer clients who have called us for Christmas time specifically – we hope you have enjoyed your time with us and may consider us again in the future. Hog Roast Shropshire isn’t just for Christmas; our catering is special all year round, too!

Hog Roast Morecambe – When It’s Cold Outside, You Need a Hog Roast!

As we head into November it’s beginning to look and feel a lot like winter. Darker nights, grey mornings, colder temperatures – there’s only one antidote that can solve those oncoming winter blues, and that’s a comforting winter warmer with Hog Roast Morecambe and event of your choice in Morecambe!

The winter weather can get us all down, but it also gives us all the perfect excuse to enjoy the comforting things, the cosy things, in life. That can mean snuggling up by the fire with a comfy sweater and a good book, or it can be a delicious roast courtesy of Hog Roast Morecambe. With our grand selection finely roasted meats and veggie delights, there is plenty to blow away those winter blues.

Take, for example, our signature hog roast. Pork is already as comforting a food as you can get. Who doesn’t love the comfort of a good bacon roll? But at Hog Roast Morecambe we can go one better by swapping out that bacon for some extra comforting pulled pork taken straight from a well roasted hog and piled high with sauces of your choice and golden crackling in a roll or wrap. Now that is comforting dining! Couple your pulled pork roll with our excellent golden roasties, our seasonal roasted vegetables, our accompaniment of fries, veg skewers, ribs, burgers, sausages, beef roasts, chicken roasts, turkey, lamb, and you have all you need to stop up the cold and enjoy a warm and comforting event with Hog Roast Morecambe!

To gift you even more comfort in November, Hog Roast Morecambe are also going to take an extra £100 off your final order for booking an event this month. It’s our way of saying thank you for an excellent year at Hog Roast Morecambe, and to make sure you don’t have to make the choice between the event catering you want, or the gifts you may need to purchase in what is already an expensive time of year. With Hog Roast Morecambe, you can still come and blow away the winter blues without a hefty bill this November, so come and get warm with us today!
