The Hog Roast Harrow team had heaps of fun catering for all of the Mother’s Day celebrations that we were invited to be a part of last month! Most notably, we were asked to serve a tasty meal at a corporate function, which had been planned by a local business owner named Samantha.
On the Friday before Mothering Sunday, Samantha had welcomed her staff to bring their mothers to the workplace, where they would be treated to a fab feast followed by bonding activities, a raffle with lots of great prizes to be won, and flower arranging masterclass to finish. With a jam-packed itinerary to get through, Samantha was so pleased to have discovered Hog Roast Harrow before the event went ahead, as our catering manager, Alex, made her feel confident and relaxed with his assurances that the day would run smoothly.
Staying true to his promise, Alex led the Hog Roast Harrow team to the client’s business in the early hours of the morning, where, shielded by our jet-black catering gazebo, they set to work roasting the full-size pig over a low flame. As the hours passed, the pork slowly turned a golden brown colour, with black spots in all the right places.
To accompany the tender and juicy roast, the team prepared a batch of our savoury sage and onion stuffing, applesauce, gourmet coleslaw and seasonal salad options and gluten-free rolls for the guests to choose from. As well as these, they whipped up a meatless choice of BBQ pulled jackfruit buns with vegan coleslaw and a rich hickory sauce to make sure that the vegetarian and vegan attendees didn’t feel left out.
The entire car park smelled glorious by the time the guests were ready to eat, and with everything served on disposable plates, the group was free to walk around while they munched on Hog Roast Harrow’s scrumptious rolls. The guests were particularly impressed with our salted crackling, which paired beautifully with the soft and mouth-watering pulled pork, and Samantha couldn’t thank our team enough for delivering such an outstanding feast that set the tone for what was a wonderful afternoon for everyone involved!
