It’s Offical Hog Roast Caterering Is In Fashion

Hello there Hog Roast fans! You’ll never guess what we were doing last night – we were busy catering for a charity fashion show! I went along to get a piece of the action seeing how much I love these events. Two things that I love – fashion and good food so it really made sense that I tagged along to go pitch in and give a hand.

The local college chipped in to help with students volunteering to model clothes from shops in the area. It had a really community vibe, everyone helping to raise money for charity. It was fantastic to be a part of it see everyone enjoying themselves and of course enjoying our ever so delicious sandwiches, served on the freshest of bread. Being able to see the hog roast in action cooking seemed to spark many a conversation as it really is a good site to see.

It was a busy event – everyone had turned out to help a good cause and our hog roast sandwiches went down a treat. We nearly ran out of stuffing it was loved so much – they could probably all tell that it was home-made as it tasted so good! The organizers manage to raise nearly a thousand pounds and Hog Roast Caterer’s food was such a success that we’ve already been booked for next years fashion show too!

Care Home’s Birthday Hog Roast

Hi everyone! We’re having another busy day here today at Hog Roast Caterer, people can’t seem to get enough of our delicious food! Today we’re sending a team off to a local care home who are celebrating their 1st birthday! We’ll be feeding everyone from residents, to staff plus all their family as they’re all invited! From speaking to the organizers, there’s going to be such a buzz around the whole event as everyone’s really excited for some hog roast sandwiches! Some residents have been worried that we might forget the apple sauce but rest assured we’ve got it covered. With all the trimmings already sorted we know their going to really have a god time!

Let’s just keep our fingers crossed that the weather brightens up a bit so everyone can get some fresh air and enjoy the new garden area that the care home has just had landscaped. The official opening of the garden is going to be tonight too with the Mayor coming to cut the ribbon! We’ve seen the photos and it’s fantastic! All the flowers are out, there’s a new water feature, people have donated new benches, it’s had a total revamp with a nice new area which gets the sun (when it’s out!) until late in the evening, I know everyone’s looking forward to getting the use out of it! It’s a great pleasure to be one of the first one’s in there cooking everyone some great food!

American Style BBQ For Independance Day

Hello everybody its Tuesday the 5th of July 2011 and a few members of the team are feeling a little tired today after a very late night last night.  They were catering a very special event in a city centre location not too far from head office.  The client was a large insurance company whom we have catered many events for in the past.  They use the Hog Roast Caterer catering services for a number of their corporate events including networking evenings, business lunches and their annual Christmas celebrations.  Yesterdays event was very different from anything they had requested before.  As the company originates from the USA many of the employees working in our local office are from across the pond, either here on a long term contract or just visiting to work on a specific project.  For this reason  It was decided by the company’s events committee that all staff in the local branch were to be treated to an extra special 4th of July- Independence Day style celebration.  This helped those working in the UK stay true to their roots and celebrate their important national day and it also gave them a chance to teach the rest about why the 4th of July was so important to them.  The party had a fancy dress theme and a fire work display and we were the catering team who provided a tasty USA style BBQ.  We adapted our usual bbq catering options slightly to produce an authentic American feast!  We served up Giant Beef burgers with bacon and melted American cheese,  the traditional US corn dogs and southern style ribs.  The food was a great success with the whole work force and it wasn’t long before they had eaten every last scrap!  The event was so successful and enjoyable it is going to be celebrated in that particular office every year and the have already booked us to provide bbq catering at the next one 🙂

We are really in the height of our busiest season at the moment as Summer is now in full swing.  The sun is shinning and evenings stay lighter for longer…….Perfect weather for a hog roast!  Over the last few week I have been lucky enough to cater a wide variety of events including; birthday parties, summer barbecues, weddings, music festivals, Summer balls, end of term parties, charity events and many more.  My catering diary is also packed full of more exciting events for the next couple of months so I shall be bringing you more hog roasting stories everyday 🙂

I am only camping out the one night(thankgod). I am abit weary about the creepy crawlies but I probably will end up staying awake in front of the lit fire with a few drinks and snacks till the early hours of the morning.

Afternoon to all

What a gorgeous day!!

 I have been up very early this morning catering for an event. My team and I catered for a 100 guests as the customers family member sadly passed away. Although it is a sad occasion the guests certainly gave him a great farewell. When you think about catering people always presume it is a happy time in peoples life to throw a party. This is not always the case!! We are always ready for any type of event and occasion and adapt to the circumstances in which the parties are being held. They had a moving tribute to him and speeches in their garden whilst we were attending to the Hog Roast. My assistants were busy in their garden preparing all the salads and rolls and accompaniments. As for adapting to the circumstances later on we are attending an 18th Birthday- so it really is one extreme to another but we are always professional.

  Like many events we literally do cater for any, weddings, private parties, corporate events, charities. Any excuse, then we are the ones to get in touch with!

If you prefer the more hands on approach then you can always hire one of our machines too, this is the DIY so you get to do all the cooking yourselves and be the main attraction on the day after our Hog Roasting machine of course.

Enjoy the rest of your day/evening
