In the spirit of giving back, Hog Roast Haggerston recently teamed up with comedy club owner, Cal, to support a charity event aimed at raising funds for mental health causes close to his heart. As a passionate advocate for mental well-being, Cal’s vision was to create a phenomenal evening filled with laughter, fantastic raffle prizes, and a sumptuous feast, with all profits dedicated to supporting those struggling with mental illness.
Our dedicated catering manager, Dohnis, eagerly embraced the opportunity to contribute to this meaningful cause. Collaborating closely with Cal, they settled on a menu that would not only tantalise taste buds but also complement the vibrant atmosphere of a comedy night. The result? The Hog Roast Dining Experience – a luxurious feast designed to elevate any event.
The evening kicked off with a delightful array of beautifully crafted canapés, each a testament to Hog Roast Haggerston’s commitment to flavour and variety. Guests savoured beer-battered mini fish and chips, roasted duck, smoked Scottish salmon, chicken liver parfait, mini quiche, and a selection of mini pizzas, setting the tone for an exquisite dining experience.
The main course was nothing short of a showstopper, featuring an eye-catching hog roast with all the trimmings, whole roasted sirloin of English beef, and BBQ pulled jackfruit rolls for the vegetarian and vegan attendees. Complemented by coleslaw, salads, and dauphinoise potatoes, the menu showcased a harmonious fusion of flavours, ensuring that every guest found something to delight their palate.
As the laughter from the comedic performances resonated through the venue, the grand finale awaited. Dessert, served buffet-style, featured decadent cheesecake and chocolate torte, adding a sweet note to the evening’s festivities. The irresistible puddings were the perfect ending to a night that not only brought smiles to everyone’s faces but also made a significant impact on the chosen charity.
The success of the event wasn’t just measured by the delicious food; it was reflected in the warmth of the atmosphere, the laughter that echoed in the room, and the funds raised to support mental health causes.
Together, Hog Roast Haggerston and Cal created an unforgettable evening that blended the joy of laughter, the indulgence of a lavish feast, and the satisfaction of making a difference in the lives of those affected by mental illness.
