Book Your Office Christmas With Chef And Griddle Today!

Chef and GriddleYou may have read the title already and thought to yourself “Chef And Griddle, it’s July. Why are you talking about Christmas already?” and we wouldn’t blame you for that. But as an event caterer for well over twenty years now we know fully well that Christmas always sneaks up earlier and earlier every year, and that when it comes to booking your special office Christmas party it always pays to get in well ahead of the queue.

The office Christmas party and dinner is a British staple, so of course when you are looking to book in yours you are competing with just about everyone else in the country. You could save yourself a lot of stress and potential Christmas heartache by just getting it all sorted right now. Sure enough, you may not quite be salivating at the thought of a large turkey roast dinner at the moment while the sun is out and the barbecues are calling instead, but soon enough those Christmas bells will start ringing out loud and you’ll want your event catering all sorted before they toll.

By booking your office Christmas dining with your local Chef And Griddle team today you’ll also have your pick of the dates in December. With bookings filling up fast in December quite often offices find themselves squeezed out of the December slots and either have to make up for it with an event in November, or even after the season in January which no one of course wants. It’s Christmas dining for Christmas, not Christmas dining for New Year!

As a roast caterer year-round too we are already a prime choice for Christmas dinners. It is, after all, the roast dinner of the year, so why wouldn’t you come to the premier roasters!? Our special seasonal menu is perfect for all your Christmas cravings, bringing the best of our roast practices to deliver on a perfect golden turkey, a hog roast, crispy roast potatoes, even the sprouts are to jump for!

So take a quick break from the summer barbies today and take a second to book in your Christmas dinner with Chef And Griddle! You’ll thank us later.

Outdoor Catering

Last night Chef and Griddle catered for a 40th birthday party in Bradford. The weather was terrible, as I’m sure it was all over England, luckily we always take mini gazebos to outdoor events, so the food and ourselves were kept dry. It is also lucky that the party was indoors at an enormous house, we cooked and carved the food outdoors onto the guests bread rolls which they then took inside to eat. The menu which this customer had chosen was our Classic Hog Roast, which consists of a whole spit roasted pig, crackling, homemade stuffing and apple sauce served into a bread roll. There were 50 attendees, which a lot of people who make enquiries with us think is a low amount of people for a hog roast, which is simply not true. The customer was debating whether or not to put a few bits out for her guests to snack on, once the hog roast was finished, as the party was set to rage on all night. We told her that there would be no need for any extra food as we carved up the leftover pork and left it with sauces, bread rolls and the crackling for her and the guests. Since her event, she has got in touch with us to tell us that she and all of her guests greatly  enjoyed the hog roast. She commented that leaving her with the leftover food, as we did, was fantastic for later on in the evening when people needed a bit more food to help sober them up.

It may be the end of the week for most people but for hog roasters, the weekend is just the beginning and we are straight back at it. This weekend we are very busy again, we have a large event in Twigworth on Saturday. We will then we need to clean the machines so that they are ready for Sunday, when we are hiring out two machines. We are supplying the machines with two freshly prepared pigs and two boned and rolled pork legs for a customer who is catering for a large amount of people in Somerset.

Spit Roast Lamb

Yesterday was the Islamic New Year and we were out cooking a Halal lamb roast for 100 guests in Addlestone. The Islamic couple that we were doing the roast for are repeat customers of ours who trust us to do an exceptionally tasty Halal spit roast. The menu that the couple opted for was a whole spit roast lamb with rosemary and thyme along with roast potatoes which we cooked in a tray with the lamb fat.

For the vegetarians we prepared meat free somosas which went down a storm. This was all served onto high quality crockery which we collected after the meal and cleaned off site. In the office the new years eve enquiries are flooding in especially for machine hires and pigs. Our machines can fit through most normal sized doors and have pneumatic tires for ease of transportation, so they are an ideal machine for new years eve parties. We can also supply pigs and lambs to go in the machine and will put it in the machine for you and set it going, so all you have to do is check the temperature of the meat and carve it when it is ready. We also supply all of our machines with a 19 kilo gas bottles which is enough to feed around three pigs or lambs.

We are also getting a lot of enquiries for weddings and corporate events in Summer next year, summer is always a fantastic time for hog roasts. Due to the large number of enquiries we are receiving and the fact that we are so exceptionally busy in Summer we urge you to start booking your hog roasts straight away to avoid disappointment. We can provide everything from canapés and desserts to simple evening meals such as bacon and sausage rolls with a few salads. Christmas is also still a very busy period for us with us booking in quite a few turkey roasts this week for Christmas parties or just family gatherings. We are all looking forward to being able to share the festive cheer with people through our hog and turkey roasts and we bet they are going to make a lot of customers extremely happy.

How to Have a Sizzling Party!

How to Have a Sizzling Party!

The newspapers have been full of news about Prince William finally reaching the ‘Big 30,’ one wonders what kind of party he had to celebrate.  No doubt he and his mates met up in some top notch restaurant and enjoyed some extremely posh food, or maybe they partied till the early hours in a select nightclub in London accompanied by big burly body guards.  Either way, we wish him all the very best for the next decade and beyond!

Everyone loves a good party and a laugh, no matter who they are and from what walk of life they come from.  The Jubilee celebrations saw whole streets celebrating with food and drink, flags and music.  It’s just lovely to get out there and be sociable, especially in the fresh air over the summer! If you’re planning a party, maybe a 21st celebration for a son or daughter, or a 30th birthday do for a friend who wants to say goodbye to his 20’s in style, or even a calmer affair for a wedding anniversary – we know how to make your party sizzle!

What could be more fun than to have live music, a bunch of people out to enjoy themselves, maybe a glass of wine or two and some excellent food which tastes as good as it looks?  Our hog roasts are bound to be the centre of attention, especially after an hour or so when the crackling starts to scent the air, and people start thinking about supper.  If you decide to hire one of our machines you’ll find it easy to use, fully insured and CE certificated; you’ll also find that people will remember the occasion because of the quality of the food as well as the buzz of the evening itself.

Hiring a hog roast machine is a great option if you’re unsure about how to cater for your guests, add a few salads, find some paper plates and napkins, butter a few bread rolls, wear a chefs hat and a big apron, organise the seating and you’re sorted!  If you need help working out the size of pig or the machine you will need, just ask.  Our staff are friendly, professional and just at the end of the phone.

We might not all be able to party like a prince, but we can eat like kings at a hog roast.  Try us!
