Garden parties are one of the most popular events that we cater for during the summer months, since there is nothing better than relaxing in the sunshine and enjoying a great meal with your guests. At Hog Roast Long Buckby, we have plenty of menus that are perfect for the occasion, including this classic option…
On the 7th of July, Hog Roast Long Buckby was serving up sunshine and smiles at a lovely summer party that took place at Culworth House. The event was hosted by Chris, with 80 friends and family invited to join the celebrations. The beautiful venue was perfect for hosting a summer party, since it has extensive space outdoors to explore and enjoy our great catering, whilst soaking up the good weather. For the food, our catering manager Ben was hired to serve a menu to suit 80 guests, including gluten-free and meat-free options. It was decided that our classic hog roast would be perfect, if accompanied by a few extra dishes.
On the day of the party, Ben and the Hog Roast Long Buckby arrived at the venue in the morning and got to work preparing for the 16:30 serving time. We began by slow-roasting the hog, which needed to cook to perfection for around five hours. Once ready, it was expertly carved and served with sage and onion stuffing, homemade applesauce, and crispy crackling. The sliced pork was then used to fill fresh bread rolls or wraps, with gluten-free options also on offer. For plant-based guests, we served vegetable skewers with halloumi, alongside a tzatziki dip and sweet and punchy sweet chilli sauce. The main dishes were served with a selection of fresh sides, including a tomato and mozzarella salad, a mixed leaf salad, gourmet coleslaw, and herb dressed new potatoes, which ensured that our menu was varied and nutritious.
