Putting together any event can be tricky. It doesn’t matter whether it is something as big as your wedding, as vital and pressurised as a showcase for your business, or as seemingly casual as a good get together with your friends and family. There are always plenty of pressures and plenty of decisions that need to be made.
But do not worry! When you come to Hog Roast Norwich we will make our part of the event planning experience as straightforward and as pressure free as possible. In doing so, we also hope that our service with you will also help other parts of the event to slot into place. Aspects like the schedule, timings of certain activities, the space for chairs, tables, etc – all of these things can come under the catering umbrella, so once you have your dining figured out with Hog Roast Norwich, everything else may start to take better shape, too.
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?
These questions and answers will help us right away in recommending you the right services and menus for your event. You don’t have to be totally exhaustive in your answers – at least not right away, especially if the event is still far off – but even just an idea will allow our team to put together some free quotes on a couple of menu packages that we believe will best suit what you have told us. From there the Hog Roast Norwich team will continue to work closely with you to customise and tailor your dining to be exactly as you need it. We understand that the planning may come in stages and may change all the time. That is fine by us. We’ll remain open to switches even toward the last minute before your event. After all, we are here to cater, and we take that responsibility in all aspects of the word.
So, don’t be put off by event planning. Instead, come to Hog Roast Norwich today and let us get your served right!
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!
