Moving On Up

Hog Roast Caterer has been busy all this month and last weekend was no exception. A Company relocating in Bolton is the one that sticks to mind yet will still had many other exciting and glorious events, we love doing events all over the country since we get to meet all new and vibrate people and experience a different experience each time.

The Company relocating event was special since they had been at the building for many years yet were relocating to a new a bigger building since their company has expanded and grew in them year, they would be relocating further down Bolton. So as well as celebrating relocating of the company, we were also giving the building a send off like no other, with a Hog Roast. They went for the Corporate Menu 3; Spit Roasted Pig Roasted Whole to Perfection with Fresh Floured Bread Rolls, served alongside three freshly made salads and freshly sourced Jersey New Potatoes Glazed with in a Delightful Herb Butter.

It sounded perfect to the company that is why the chose it and we didn’t disappoint. When we began to served up the freshly made and delicious food everyone’s faces light up with delight and they dashed over to be served. It all went down a treat many coming back for seconds and thirds and there is always one that comes back for even more, yet we still had quite a lot of food left over. We were widely complemented for the amazingly delicious food and the excellent and quick service.

They also wanted us to host an event for when they are or have moved into their new building since they wanted us back so soon and enjoyed our company and services as well as the scrumptious food that much. We put the rest of the delightful food on platters and left some fresh floured rolls too, so they could enjoy the food without us being there, also they could take it home and give some to their partners, family or even friends.

We love doing events like this since it is so enjoyable to see a thing we love doing is loved and enjoyed by all and is wanted again and again. We will see them soon and will try and tempt them into a different menu maybe Spit Roasted Chicken with Stuffing or Spit Roasted Lamb served with Herbs, Mint sauce and Mustard and Dill sauce.

A Simple change. A Big effect

Hog Roast Caterer we have had an amazing weekend roasting up in nearby towns such as Nelson, Colne and Brierfield. Since our revamped website we have had loads more incoming enquires. A simple change in look and it has made a drastic change in sales. We cannot believe how much this change has made. Many people have taken to the new look after enquiring, commenting on the new look of our website. We are truly pleased with the new look of our website.

Having booked with us on our old site and now our new website the family from Colne was quick to comment at how amazing it looked “looking sleeker and more professional”. They have booked a birthday party for the 15th of July 2012, which I am sure will be a lovely event.

This weekend we had a couple for Brierfield wanting to hire out a hog roasting machine from Friday to Sunday, so we travelled down and exchanged money and hog roast machine plus expertises on how to get the best out of a hog roast, we also helped them on where to set it up and where to roast it. What they had in mind to roast and how to roast what they wanted to beautiful effect. They thanked us and then we were on our way. Monday morning we received a call from the couple who absolutely loved the hog roast machine. They would have rang us Sunday to tell us but had another hog roast to do. They said both nights were wonderful everyone loved the meat including us, we had to have another day of it. We then asked them would they like to keep the hog roast machine, all they had to do was pay the rest of the money and it was theirs. The couple loved the idea and hastily wired over the money, they had a hog roast for Saturday and Sunday.

In Nelson we caught up with a small business who had hired out one of our hog roast machines for a month and in that month sales had risen by 40%, the shop owner said “since this investment many people from around town want to come here and try hog roasted meat and I can’t blame them it tastes truly divine” With the sales they had made they bought the hog roast machine outright and even bought a second one.

A Surprise for our Suppliers

We have had a truly amazing event yesterday providing our suppliers a day to remember. Since we value and respect our suppliers so much we decided to provide a special event for them by roasting two hogs, some chicken and beef complemented with sauces and stuffing. The company manager only knew about this event so we decided to make it a surprise, all the workers thought they were meeting up for the new prospect of meeting their new suppliers. But we had everything set up waiting for their arrival.

When they arrived they were stunned and shocked to see us. As they walked in there were hogs roasting, chickens roasting and rotating, bowls of Stuffing, Apple Sauce, Horseradish Sauce and Crispy Crackling. It was like children being let into a candy store. We explained to them for all there help and kindness and professionalism we wanted to thank them by supplying all this delicious food.

After we explained this event was for them they quickly queued by for the food to be served to them, we served Spit and Hog Roasted Pig with drizzle of Apple Sauce and Stuffing with Crackling on the side, Spit Roasted Chicken served with Piping Hot Stuffing and Spit Roasted Sirloin of Angus Beef served with Horseradish Sauce, we would also we serving roasted potatoes and some vegetables for those Men and Woman that actually enjoy vegetables.

We had some great chats with the workers, we are really close to our suppliers and have built up health relationships with them which in a working business it a good thing to do. We were widely complemented on the food we roasted for them and how amazing the event was and how thankful they were that we did it.

After several hours we decided to pack up and leave the food for the workers to pick at and devourer. So we packed our hog roasting machine in our trucks and drove back to the head office which was not that far. We would take the hog roasting machine out and then thoroughly clean the hog roasting machine until they are spick and span then put them into storage until next event.

We will do this for our other suppliers every year just to show how much they mean to us and how much we appreciate their professionalism and the quality and quantity of produce we receive from them.

Our Fine Hog Roasts

With this weather being crazy, one minute its sunny then it is pouring with rain you can never be sure on what to do, go out in the sun and chill until it rains and make a dash back inside, have a BBQ in the sun until it pours with rain. Well why not get a Hog Roast from us it will surely tingle your taste buds whatever the weather. Whether it is pouring down with rain or the sun is shining brightly we always use our gazebos to block out rain or shine. This is a great way of keeping guests dry or the sun out of their eyes. One of the best things about a hog roast is visually seeing it being roasted or spit roasted and if you are blinded by the light you will not be able to see the visual effect or maybe when receiving the food not being able to see what you want or how neatly everything is placed would be a real shame, so that is why we have gazebos every event we go to, plus you don’t want to be sitting eating you food and being covered in rain now would you?

One event we went to was a family gathering where they wanted a Hog Roast in a Bun Menu (Party Menu 1) it was sunny at first but mid way through the rain started to bucket down. Luckily we had some gazebos set up to cover the sun that a minute was shining on the hog roast event. It didn’t damper the family sprit or how much they enjoyed the food, maybe then enjoyed the food that little bit more, since the hot hog roast warmed up their bellies and themselves, plus watching the hog slowly roast warms you up since the machine was lovely and hot. Most of the family gathered around the hog roast watching and waiting, wanting it to hurry up and be finished, eventually we started to serve the hog to much of the delight from all the guests. We quickly and efficiently dished out the hog in a bun to all the family and some of their friends. Seeing the delight and amazement in their faces when took the first bite into the bun, was a sure happy site to see.

We love hog roasting in our passion, we have been doing this for many years now and are very experienced we may even be the most experienced hog roast catering business out there.
