The immortal words of Ian Fleming’s roguish spy can help describe who we are at Hog Roast Brixworth and what we do with our catering, but it can also help to describe one of the best events we have had the privilege of catering for in quite some time. Earlier this month, the Hog Roast Brixworth team donned our tux’s, took a trip to Q’s lab to get suited up with the latest hog roast tech and gadgetry, and jumped in the Aston Martin* (*read Hog Roast Brixworth service van) to head out to a top-secret location for a James Bond themed party.
The mission? To cater a delicious Hog Roast Brixworth dining experience to 180 guests in a stylish themed night of Bond-like extravagance and thrills. Execution of the mission would rely upon the license to grill and roast, and the years long expertise of our finest double 0 chefs. With the best in the biz at work, there was no way we were ever going to fail.
With the event being a long occasion, our service ended up covering both a lunchtime experience and a dinner service too. For lunch we served freshly cut sandwiches, pork pies, scotch eggs, and vegetarian quiches – enough just to whet the appetites of guests arriving in style via the red carpet while our chefs continued on prepping the evening dinner service. This was to be a version of our southern slow roast menu, wherein we cooked and served our mouthwatering brisket, our staple hog roast, minted lamb, our own gourmet sausages, and plenty of sides to accompany each and every main dish.
The theme of the event was excellent and was so brilliantly done by all. We had VIP guests showing up in style by driving right up to the red carpet and being welcomed in a Bond-esque show of flashiness and coolness. The Hog Roast Brixworth were not suckered into the flashiness of the day and remained committed to our own mission, making sure we stuck to the task and came away from the day with a successful report to bring back to hog M’s office!
