An engagement party is the perfect opportunity to bring everyone together and mark your brand-new chapter as fiancés! It’s often the first time both sides of the family and friendship groups come together. And what better way to celebrate than with five-star food from Hog Roast Marlow? Who knows, you may enjoy our food so much that you choose us to cater for your big day too!
As soon as your guests arrive, they’ll be taken aback by the lip-smacking aroma of the spit-roasted pig. Plus, it makes a brilliant icebreaker when people are meeting for the first time. Let’s face it, the sight of a whole pig raised high above a roaring flame isn’t something you see every day. We’ll set up our equipment hours before to get the food cooked and served on time. And, our catering manager will work with the chosen venue on the logistics, so you don’t have to worry about the finer details.
How we serve the food is up to you, and how you’d like your engagement party to play out. If you’re envisioning a black-tie dinner dance in a swanky hotel, we’d recommend a sit-down meal, where a team of our friendly waiting staff will serve guests at their seats. Want a relaxed buffet with pulled pork rolls and mixed salads? That’s always a winner. And it’s not just about the main course, either. Hog Roast Marlow have a wide range of starters and desserts on the menu. You could even welcome guests to your party with a glass of fizz and delicious canapés. All of our packages are super flexible. Therefore, if you don’t quite see what you’re looking for, we can work with you to create a fully tailored package for your engagement party.
So, if you have recently said ‘yes’ to tie the knot, Hog Roast Marlow wish you our biggest congratulations. This is such an exciting time, and it deserves to be celebrated with your nearest and dearest. So, get in touch with the team today to check out our available dates and menu options.
To aid your planning with us, there are some things we may ask that you have an idea of ahead of your first discussion with us. Our team will need to know certain simple questions: what is the event for? What kind of style are you going for – formal, informal, outdoor dining or indoor, etc? What is your venue? How many guests are you looking to feed?
The last three weeks have seen Hog Roast Retford take on a slightly different shape for a lot of our catered events. While of course we are Hog Roast Retford: a roast pork and fine meat catering specialist, we have a lot of love for our vegan and veggie friends out there. During January, there is often a lot more of them too as many of us take on “Veganuary” (including some of the Hog Roast Retford team here. This is when people take the first month of the year to try either cut back on their meat consumption, or go fully vegetarian or even vegan for at least the full month of January. It coincides with other monthly trends, such as Dry January, where many of us take the first month of the year to try and refresh our lives for the better in one way or another.
We have a great time over the last three weeks prepping some truly incredible wholesale veggie and vegan menus for many events. Making such a drastic change in your diet can be challenging, especially when it comes to things like events where it may be easy to revert back for just one day only. But with our eye on providing as good as you get in our veggie and vegan menus as you would find in our more “typical” meaty menus, the challenge becomes just as delicious as the norm!
