Over the past thirty-odd years, Hog Roast Frome has had the pleasure of catering just about every kind of event you can imagine. There’s the regulars, the weddings, birthdays, engagement parties, corporate dos etc.. And then there’s the less common – but every bit as exciting – events that we love showing up for equally. The club get-together we catered earlier this month fell firmly into that second camp.
It’s not every day we get a call to help a club enjoy some proper time together, so we jumped at the chance to show up and treat everyone to our namesake hog roast. The client mentioned 90 guests were coming along, several of whom, they suspected, had never actually had a hog roast before. We were honoured to be the ones to change that and felt confident that by the end of the night we’d have a few new lifelong fans.
As always, Hog Roast Frome started prep the right way with farm-fresh ingredients and plenty of patience, until we’d lovingly prepared a classic hog roast for the group. Nothing went to waste either as we used the pig’s own juices to cook the sage and onion stuffing, adding an extra layer of richness, while the crackling was carved off and served up in bamboo bowls for guests to help themselves to. Sweet applesauce sat alongside, as well as rolls, wraps, mixed salad and our creamy gourmet coleslaw.
With a spread that good, it’s not exactly surprising that guests weren’t shy about going back for seconds (and honestly, in some cases, thirds), and they had plenty of kind words to say about us while doing it. The vegetarians and vegans were just as pleased with their options too. Our grilled veggie kebabs with optional halloumi, tzatziki and flatbreads, and rich, smoky BBQ pulled jackfruit sliders drenched in homemade hickory sauce meant everyone was included in the fun.
With genuinely something for everyone, nobody left the party needing a pit stop for food on the way home. Everyone was thoroughly impressed, and just as we’d hoped, Hog Roast Frome made more than a few new fans along the way.
