A first taste of Hog Roast

What a week! It’s my first week here at Hog Roast Caterer and I really have been thrown in at the deep end! I’ve been working in the office this week but with people off on holidays and the odd person being off sick, I’ve had so much on my plate. In a way it’s a good thing as it’s meant I’ve got a real grasp about what Hog Roast Caterer are all about! I’ve been dealing with enquiries coming in for menus and then people wanting to hire machines, I’ve even dabbled in the parts side of things but I figured that’s probably something better left to the experts that work here, seeing as I’ve only seen a machine once before, although the guess the parts of the machine game I played on my break sure gave me an idea about how these magnificent machines work. It may have been a hectic week but I’ve loved every minute.

On the catering side of things we’ve got loads going on this weekend as we’re in the midst of our busiest season. I must say I can’t blame people for wanting a hog roast! After trying one on my first day people don’t know what they’re missing! I’ve had hog roasts before but Hog Roast Caterer are on to a winner here! Have a good weekend hog blog readers! Over and out.

Fancy Dress Hog Roast

Good Morning Everybody and welcome to the first hog blog of a new week.  It Monday the 25th of July 2011 and we have had another busy weekend.  The highlight of the weekend for myself was a lovely fancy dress that we catered for on Saturday evening.

The location of the party was not too far away from us its always nice to do local events and catch up with previous customers and see some familiar faces.  This party was being held to celebrate a 21st birthday party and the birthday girl has insisted on a fancy dress theme for all attending…… even myself and the rest of the catering team!  The fancy dress theme was music heroes and everybody dressed up as their favourite musician or performer.  We were more than happy to get into the spirit of the party and dress up as well.  It was myself another hog roast caterer chef and a catering assistant on this event and we dressed up as our favourite musical heroes.  It must have been quite a sight to see Elvis, Michael Jackson and Madonna cooking carving and serving up a hog roast!  It was certainly a fun event and the guests were very happy with the simple hog roast feast.  Perfectly spit roasted pork served in-between soft bread rolls with plenty of stuffing and special apple sauce.

It’s Offical Hog Roast Caterering Is In Fashion

Hello there Hog Roast fans! You’ll never guess what we were doing last night – we were busy catering for a charity fashion show! I went along to get a piece of the action seeing how much I love these events. Two things that I love – fashion and good food so it really made sense that I tagged along to go pitch in and give a hand.

The local college chipped in to help with students volunteering to model clothes from shops in the area. It had a really community vibe, everyone helping to raise money for charity. It was fantastic to be a part of it see everyone enjoying themselves and of course enjoying our ever so delicious sandwiches, served on the freshest of bread. Being able to see the hog roast in action cooking seemed to spark many a conversation as it really is a good site to see.

It was a busy event – everyone had turned out to help a good cause and our hog roast sandwiches went down a treat. We nearly ran out of stuffing it was loved so much – they could probably all tell that it was home-made as it tasted so good! The organizers manage to raise nearly a thousand pounds and Hog Roast Caterer’s food was such a success that we’ve already been booked for next years fashion show too!

The rise of the hog roast

A hog roast has always been a spectacular, tasty way to feed guests at a party and it is a tradition that goes back hundreds of years in the UK.  In other countries the humble hog roast is used to celebrate many occasions and customs and has been for many, many years.  So while it is not a new idea, it has certainly grown in popularity over the last few years and each year it seems the demand is growing more and more.  The good old hog roast has certainly taken the catering industry by storm and Summer 2011 looks like it will be no exception.

So what has made the pig roast become Brittan’s favourite way to eat at an event?  Well not only is a hog roast filling, tasty and a cost effective way to feed lots of people but it is also a great sight to watch and enjoy.  It makes an event seem that little bit more spectacular.  Of course the celebrity influence has also made an impact on the ever rising popularity of the hog roast.  Many A lister’s have enjoyed this style of feat at their star studded weddings and charity events, making the humble hog roast a regular feature in glossy celebrity magazines.  Of course this instantly makes the hog roast more appealing to the general public of the UK after all if its good enough for the rich and famous then its good enough for the rest of rest of us.  There has even been rumours that a hog roast and a spit roasted lamb may be on the menu at a certain prestigious very high profile wedding later this year, only time we tell if this is correct but it  wouldn’t come as a great surprise if this turned out to be correct!

For others who are not interested in keeping one step ahead of celebrity trend and couldn’t care less what the rich and famous are eating on their wedding day (or any day for that matter!) the hog roast can still be appreciated and enjoyed.  For many it is a great British tradition that dates back away before our time and its a pleasure to enjoy a classic in the same way our ancestors would have done.

Of course its not just us Brits who are tucking into a good old pig roast.  It seems all over the globe hog roasts are being devoured by many for a whole host of occasions and celebrations.  From our friends across the pond in the USA who are choosing to enjoy a spit roasted pig for their Thanksgiving dinner over the traditional turkey feast, to our Australian friends on the other side of the world who are turning away from their usual barbecues to tuck into a hog roast on the beach. And it doesn’t end there many other places in the world also appreciate a good hog roast.  Such as in Puerto Rico where a hog roast is traditionally done on New Years Eve and not forgetting Cuban families who like to devour a hog roast on Christmas eve.  It seems the rise of the hog roast is set to continue all over the world.
