BBQ Catering At School Sports Day

Hello and welcome to the latest hog blog.  Its Wednesday and we are already half way through the week and fast approaching another busy, event filled, catering extravaganza of a weekend but before we get there lets tackle the mid week event that are booked in for today’s hectic schedule.

This evening several members of the team will be hitting the roads and driving out and about to deliver  machine to our hire customers.  It seems the cooler weather is not putting people off and nothing is going to stand in the way of our customers and their hog roasting fun!

The afternoon I have a bbq catering event to at a private school not too far from us.  Its the schools annual sports day and after all the fun races and games have been completed the pupils, teachers and proud parents will get to feast on one of our tasty bbq menu packages.  We are provided premium pork and apple sausages, Aberdeen Angus beef burgers and marinated chicken burgers.  For the animal lovers present there will be a selection of salads as well as quorn burgers and Mediterranean veggie kebabs.  We also be serving hot and cold beverages.  Whilst it may not be the warmest of daystoday at least it is dry and bright so lets keep our fingers crossed it stays the way this afternoon so that the sports day is not cancelled and the sack race, egg and spoon race, three legged race and all other sports day traditions can ahead.

Good morning everybody and welcome to another hog blog.  Its Tuesday the 12th of July 2011 and now we are well into the Summer months there is one thing that seems to be on everybody’s mind……. BBQ season!

Once the lighter, warmer evenings begin to make an appearance the British can’t resist a good old BBQ.  And its easy to see why after all there nothing quite like eating outside in the sun, chatting with friends and family and sampling some tasty BBQ classics washed down with a couple of ice cold beers.  Whilst this seems like the perfect scene doing your own BBQ is not always as easy as it looks.  For those of you who may have attempted to cook your own BBQ you probably know how stressful and time consuming it can be.  So for your next BBQ why not follow in the footsteps of our catering customers and let us do the hard work for you. 

We have done some fantastic BBQ’s already this Summer and can’t wait to do lots more for our customers.  This weekend alone we did four BBQ catering jobs in our local area.  The last one was on Sunday afternoon and was a small family party with just 30 people.  We cooked a nice simple BBQ for them consisting of quality beef burgers, premium sausages and our special veggie burgers.  Served up with an assortment of bread rolls and sauces our BBQ catering went down a treat and the family have asked to return next month and cook up another BBQ feast to help them celebrate their eldest daughters engagement.  Of course we were delighted to accept and have already began working on extra special BBQ menu for them.

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 🙂

Hello everybody!  Hope you are all ok today and ready for another exciting hog blog 🙂

Hello hog  blog lovers, its Thursday the 19th of May……..Almost weekend again!  I have to say this week has flown by very quickly, it doesn’t seem like two minutes since it was Monday morning.  Its gone by so fast because we have been so busy.  Today I have an event at the local college.  The health and social care department have an award in excellence so to celebrate and reward the hardworking staff and students the college are having a little afternoon party for that particular department.  We have been called upon to provide the food for the event and so we will be cooking up one of our tremendous bbq catering packages.  Everybody loves a good bbq especially on a nice sunny day like today so I’m sure it will go down a treat.

Today’s bbq catering job begins at 2pm this afternoon but we will be there early to set up and begin cooking.  We are feeding 250 people today and they will be munching on quality 100 per cent beef burgers, pork and apple sausages as well as some new recipe spicy sausages we have recently discovered.  There will also be qorn burgers for the non meat eaters and to complete this bb catering feast we will be providing fresh bread rolls, sauces, buttered corn on the cob and coleslaw.  Hmmmmm its making me hungry just thinking of it!

Good afternoon to all.

Today we have been very busy yet again in and out of the office. Our office staff have been dealing with all your enquiries and Emails for the coming months- in which alot of dates are becoming booked up for the catered services but our hire options are still available. As the summer is fast approaching, now sees the start of our busiest period with the phones never off the hook and our Office staff amending the Menu’s to suit your personal preference. We have a full weekend lined up with customer’s opting for our BBQ options which include Kebabs, sausages, and Burgers for the children with a selection of sauces( ketchup) ha ha!!!

The Customer has also requested a Lamb Spit rather than a hog roast for the adults which will be served alongside Potatoes and a selection of crisp seasoned salads. They have instructed us that the event will be in their garden and if the weather changes for the best then they will be having drinks and desserts added to their Menu. The children are in for a treat as they are having a bouncing castle set up- I will have to hold myself back from joining in!!!

Good afternoon Hog Blog readers!  Hope you have all had a good Monday 🙂

Its been a busy one for myself and my fellow hog roast chefs.  We have done an outdoor event today in the local area.  As the weather has been grey, wet and miserable we put up our gazebo to keep ourselves, our customers and our yummy food warm and dry. 

We cooked up one of our BBQ catering feasts today.  The organisers and their guests feasted on classic barbecue treats such as burgers and sausages as well as exotic spicy Thai chicken wings and Greek style lamb steaks.  We also barbecued some more luxurious meats such as prime rump steaks.  We also had stuffed peppers on offer as well as char grilled veggie kebabs so that our guests who don’t love meat could still enjoy a bbq catering experience done by the hog roast caterer team. 

To accompany these selection of tasty barbecue treats we have fresh bread rolls, a wide selection of sauces and chutneys (all home made of course!) and yummy salads.  The whole lot was polished off within an hour……. Another successful bbq catering event.

Time to pack up now and head back to the office and see what new enquiries are waiting for us.  Then off home for a good nights sleep as I have an early start tomorrow.  I am travelling to a city centre location and preparing a three course sit down meal for a lunch time business event.  More about that event in tomorrows blog 🙂

Hello hog blog readers.  Hope you have all had a fantastic Easter weekend!  The sun was shinning all weekend so I hope you made the most of your four days off work.  If the thought of work today has made you all a little down in the dumps then cheer up because its a short week this week with another long bank holiday weekend to look forward to 🙂

I hope Easter weekend was fun for everybody and you indulged in lots of beer and Easter eggs on your days off.  We did a big Easter outdoor event on Sunday afternoon.  This gave us the chance to do some of our wonderful bbq catering.  We served up lots of  meaty bbq treats as well as stuffed peppers for the non meat eaters who attended.  One of the things we cooked up for the 200 visitors was our brand new lamb burgers.  They went down a real treat and will most definitely be added to our bbq catering menus from now on.

There was lots of activities and events going on to keep everybody entertained during the day including an Easter egg treasure hunt for the children.

Good afternoon everybody! its almost the end of another busy in the hog roast caterer office and while we may soon be closing the office for the evening our work does not end there.  Tonight we are doing some of our extra special bbq catering for a local pub.  Its a local pub that we often frequent ourselves when we are not working so it will be great to cook up some bbq treats and catch up with familiar faces.  It’s a last minute request the owners called us yesterday morning and decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather by offering some bbq catering while they show the football tonight.  I’m sure its going to be a full house down there after all we’ve got the sunshine, the football and best of all our bbq catering!  What more could you ask for?  Its the recipe for the perfect Summers evening 🙂

We will be keeping things nice and simple this evening with good old bbq favourites like sausages, beef burgers chicken burgers.  Of course we will also have quorn burgers and vegetable kebabs to keep all of our veggie customers happy.  Also these great barbecue treats will be served up with fresh, soft bread rolls and a wide selection of home made sauces, relishes and chutneys.  I’m sure like all of our other bbq catering menus this simple but satisfying menu will go down a real treat.  All we need now is for the right team to score!!!

 

Hello blog readers, its almost weekend again! In fact its already Thursday or as we like to call it in the hog roast caterer office……Friday eve! Been checking the forecast for this Saturday and Sunday and according to weather reports its set to be another scorcher just like last week.  Thats great news for myself and the rest of the team as we have quite a few bbq catering events booked for this Saturday afternoon and a couple on Sunday evening as well.  While we while do our pig roasts and bbq catering options in all weathers we have to admit there are always more enjoyable in the sunshine with everybody enjoying the Summer vibe.  So lots of meaty treats and side dishes while complete our bb catering packages this weekend including classic favourites such as the humble sausage and good old burger.  We will be teaming these two favourites with the more exotic spicy lamb kebabs and tandori chicken burgers as well as luxury bbq items like sirloin steaks and fresh barbecued seafood treats.  As always all of our meat treats will be teamed with the softest bread rolls, crunchiest, freshest salads and our award winning home made sauces.  Yum yum I am hungry just thinking about it all.  My favourite part of Summer is definitely bbq catering jobs.
