While it may technically be spring, everyone knows just how unpredictable the weather in Britain can be. Planning an outdoor event always comes with the risk that the weather won’t want to cooperate, so it is always important to have a backup! Luckily, when you hire Hog Roast Towcester to cater for your event, you can rest assured that our menu will taste incredible whatever the weather!
Earlier this year, Frankie contacted Hog Roast Towcester to see if we could provide catering for a garden party that he is hosting this May. He is hosting a party for 30 friends and family to get all of his favourite people together in one place and celebrate the start of spring. He has a garden that he loves, which will make the perfect setting for the gathering, especially if the sun is shining! For the menu, our catering manager Ben discussed several options with Frankie, before we decided on our classic hog roast. This is our most versatile menu, which is why it is also our most popular option.
When the day of the party arrived, the sky was grey and there was rain forecast for the entire afternoon. Whilst we got to work on setting up our catering station under a marquee to shelter us from the weather, Frankie was busy moving his party indoors to keep everyone dry. Our menu was the perfect way to lift everyone’s spirits, and it was a big success with every guest! We served our succulent slow-roasted pork, which was accompanied by sage and onion stuffing, homemade applesauce, and crispy crackling. For meat-free guests, we provided BBQ-pulled jackfruit, which is a delicious plant-based option. The mains were served in fresh bread rolls, with gluten-free rolls also on offer. Additionally, we served a selection of delicious sides, including homemade chips, gourmet coleslaw, and a variety of fresh salad dishes, which created the perfect lunchtime buffet menu.
To book your event catering this spring, simply let Hog Roast Towcester know your event size, date, and location. We hope to be working with you soon!
