The summer has returned to us in a fashion that is truly befitting to its grandeur in general. That the sun does exist as a huge ball of burning gas that seems to rest in a perpetual setting within the vacuum of space, befits it as the sole provider of life on earth. Indeed, where many can see that the suns existence revolves around the notion of a destructive explosion in continual occurrence, it must also be noted that without the sun, we would cease to live.

            This week the caterers have been busy reviewing their respective notes and client information in order to see where improvements within the field of our bespoke catering services may be improved. Over the course of our many years within the world of specific and tailored hog and spit roast catered events, we have always hinged our services on the fact that we have the constant ability to evolve and improve in a fashion that keeps us pushing the boundaries of catering events all over the United Kingdom, come hell or high weather. Many changes have, indeed, been implemented over the years, in many ways. In our early years, our beautifully crafted hog and spit roasting machines were the recipients of much change, as many improvements within the machine design were needed. Now, however, our services are of such a shimmering quality that they need very little change. Our meetings allow us to try out and test new menu options, whilst also reviewing our work whilst thinking about the new approaches we aim to adopt.

The weekend is fast approaching and some of our caterers are out tackling the varied yet highly enjoyable tasks centred on, in and around mid week catering. These events, though not as frequent in their occurrences as those which are found upon the weekends, are still great for all involved and are also often very relaxed. In the opposite corner as regards many of our catered events which occur throughout the mid week time frames are our much celebrated corporate hospitality events.

            Just yesterday, we had the pleasure of catering for a large motor company headquarters in the south of England. The aim of the event was to celebrate the launch of their new generation of hybrid vehicle, which was something to really behold in itself. Running using far less fuel, this machine was something that people really did believe in. From a viewpoint adopted by our company, we were proud to be part of a celebration of a product which has the ability to help to reduce our harmful ‘carbon footprints.’ Like the motor company in question, we also are committed to this notion of eco-friendliness, which is something typified and underlined in our approach to our clean burning systems housed in our gas burning barbecue hog roasting units.

Whilst talking to more and more of our catering teams who were out servicing the hog and spit roasting needs of people all over the country, it has become apparent that more has happened than I had previously expected. Many of our fully qualified and experienced chefs and technicians had the pleasure of showcasing their various spit and hog roasting specialities at a huge variety and host of food shows across the land.

            At one of these shows, one of our teams experienced a great medieval spectacle, which allowed for a huge amount of fun to be had both on behalf of the many hundreds of tourists and guests, as well as on behalf of our catering team which formed part of the catering line-up. Whilst many children and parents prepared for the medieval jousting festivities, our catering team had a great opportunity to get out and mingle amongst all the party revelers and to assess the ‘situation on the ground’ as regards the spectacle of the hog roast. It was a real eye opener for even our most experienced of chefs, who knew that our services were popular anyway. When touring the queues and lines of people around and about the place at this food festival, our catering teams were completely overawed by the amount of sheer enthusiasm exerted by the people which they met and the folk which they spoke to. When it came to service time, our stunningly visible turning hogs had all the people enthused to the point where our team believed that they may get overrun with food requests! The people adored the sights, sounds and smells that the hogs gave, and when it came to tasting the food… Well, im sure you know the answer! Everyone loved it, including the jousters and all the actors in the medieval mock-up display. When many other caterers still had much produce, our caterers had utilized the meat on two hogs, having fed over 400 people! Having served a huge amount more than any other caterer, our catering team packed up their equipment well ahead of any other caterer too. Talk about being the taste of the nation? The public couldn’t get enough.

            The new week has arrived with the sun giving us a blessed salute, of which we have not seen for some time. Where the past few weeks have been full of rains and downpours, today we are being welcomed by the shining sun, which is rather nice, really.

            After an action packed weekend, we have been making our reports ready for the de-brief following the weekends activities. Where many of the catering teams found themselves catering at beautiful wedding events, many caterers also found themselves at agricultural shows and other sorts of catered events. On the whole, the weekend was filled with numerous amounts of wondrous splendour. As ever, our people were thoroughly delighted at the enthusiasm and food knowledge which the guests and event patrons exhibited. As we have grown to love and cherish our customers over our many years in the competitive and jubilant world of bespoke and tailored hog and spit roast catered events, it is always nice to see that our customers are moving with the times.

            One extra special event this weekend was the 10 year wedding anniversary which Floyd Charlesterforth and his team conducted amidst the wash and roll of the stunning Kentish Downs. Not just any anniversary, this event was special to both the couple involved as well as us as caterers. This was due to the fact that we had supplied the catering for their wedding, ten years previously. Whilst the couple still looked as young and beaming as the very first time our eyes had met theirs, it was clear that the good life was exhibiting no ill-effects on either of the couples as individuals. The day was beautiful, apparently, with many guests wishing to see the inner-workings of the hog and spit roast machines as they cooked. Announcing the imminent arrival of their second child, the day was made even more special by the lovely news. The hog was eaten well into the evening, grand and beautiful the whole day through.

Just as with the spirit of those who endured the blitz in wartime Britain, the folk of this land refuse to become downhearted purely due to rain and perpetual greyness from the sky.

Our catering operations have been going at full speed, irrespective of the weather. As full on, full time and exquisite chefs that we are, we know that we can re-create the same food and same stunning atmospheres come rain, shine, sleet and snow.

First in the line of supreme defence as regards our weather-proof catering services are our brilliant and highly effective gazebos. These super-structures allow our catering teams to deploy a rapid solution to solve weather-based issues. Deploying in a manner similar to the ball-boys and girls at the Wimbledon tennis tournament, our catering teams can become completely weather-proof without even checking the progress of our catering services. Wonderful to look at and securely anchored into the ground on any surface, our gazebos not only master the remit of the aesthetic, but they also completely dominate in the field of weather protection. As any well established caterer will vouch, the space optimisation as regards the transport of various catering supplies around the country, is of the highest importance when it comes to getting it right. Put simply, everything that we take to catering venues has to be able to perform in a fashion that warrants its space. The first and foremost example of brilliance within the space versus function ration is our spit and hog roasting machines themselves; as the machine itself occupies a small space, in relation to its effortless ability to roast meat for up to 400 people as well as the vegetables for the same number. Ingenius and wonderful, and a piece of engineering we love!

 

The wet weather continues to rain on everyones parade at the moment – and to symbolise and underscore this fact I had to drive past a car crash on the way in to the office this morning. Morbid, I know, however Im sure this accident may not have happened, had the weather just been a little better. Anyway, its best not to cry over spilled milk (or spilled motor oil) so we must continue with our exploits, in a fashion akin to the folk of London during the Blitz. Here, against the daily tyranny inflicted from the skies, the folk continued in their steadfast approach towards carrying on as if nothing was the matter. Indeed, Hitlers Germany failed to crush or diminish the spirit of those within London. An example to us all. And in the same way, as the rain continues to fall (admittedly not quite as dangerously as Von Brauns V2’s), we carry on in a dogged yet happy fashion.

During the week, we have been committed to many different types of catered event, each with its own set of challenges and pleasures. Many have said that variety is the spice of life, yet I have been pondering this; What about people who don’t like spice? Do they have no variety? I think not. Perhaps then, it would be more accurate to say that variety is A spice of life (variety is a major spice of life, so therefore is probably akin to pepper in terms of importance within the culinary/life spectrum). Whatever the situation with variety and pepper, I feel that, indeed, life must go on.

One of our catering teams was lucky enough to cater for an exceptionally beautiful selection of models this week. Normally known for not eating very much, these models were a definite contradiction to this norm eating like there was no tomorrow and filling the air with their cheeky little giggles, they ere a pleasure both to look at and to serve. Wishing to get involved with the roasting process, they happily carved and served themselves for a short time.

The sights and sounds of summer have been somewhat dimmed this week due to the unwelcome and obtrusive arrival of the rain. Free from warning, and coming with a particular vindictive nature, the rain has added a touch of drab grey to the normally gorgeous caucophony of colour which traditionally inhabits the hedges and valleys of Britain during the Summer. Yet, the rain with all its wettening devices, still has the real power to enliven the flowers and tress, filling wilting leaves with turgid and robust life. Allowing the bees to home in on their flowered and accented beauty, the immediate presence of the grey rain is so giving when it comes to providing a legacy in the purest form; by rewarding the landscape with colour afresh and anew.

In terms of our hog and spit roasting practices and enterprises, the rain has hardly damaged proceedings. Seeing our lovely piggies rolling around in their new found plots of freshly construed mud, we feel a tinge of sadness that, indeed, these specimens will soon be inhabiting the roasting trays of our celebrated hog and spit roasting machines. That brief lull of sadness, however, is washed away as we love the smiles of our satisfied customers far more. Giving up their lives for the most noblest of causes, these intelligent creatures of habit become the most tasty meat known on this gracious land we call Britain. Gaining stupendous degrees of noblesse within their dramatically sensuous colour, our pigs bring us sunshine from the rain

In the season where people just cant get enough of the fabulous hog roast, it’s a pleasure for us to be out all the time and servicing the hog and spit roasting needs of the British population. Having honed our menus and sharpened our knives, the chefs are out and ready to do battle. Approaching is the time where many of our clients will be flocking to agricultural shows, which is always a plus for us. These shows are not only places where everyone normally appreciates quality within their rustic based foods, but it is also a place where we can all have a big amount of fun! Having many contacts within the farming world has always suited us down to the ground, as most of our ingredients are sourced directly from these. We don’t mind scrubbing a bit of sandy mud off our vegetables, as we know that they are in tip top condition and have been grown in a way that not only pleases our eyes and expectations, but also those of our customers and clients. Back in the office, our epicentre of operations is directing our actions in a furious yet calm manner. In a flash, our catering teams can be on the move, homing in on their catering targets with extreme levels of vigour and inclination. With meat fresh, ingredients to the ‘T,’ our catering teams and our head office pulls together in order to cater in our typical, beautiful way.
