Hog Roast Barnstaple recently had the pleasure of catering a fabulous 40th birthday party at Oakcroft in Swimbridge, Barnstaple on the 13th of September 2025. Catering Manager Harry, alongside Rob and James, ensured the event ran smoothly while serving up a feast that left guests raving.
The centerpiece of the celebration was a whole roasted pig with perfectly crispy crackling. Served with traditional apple sauce and sage and onion stuffing, the pork was slow-cooked to perfection, tender, and bursting with flavour. Guests were also treated to a selection of bread rolls and wraps, with gluten-free options available on request, allowing everyone to enjoy the full Hog Roast Barnstaple experience.
For those with vegetarian and vegan preferences, Hog Roast Barnstaple offered a thoughtful alternative. Grilled vegetable and halloumi skewers, served without halloumi for the vegan option, came with wraps, a creamy tzatziki dip, and a sweet and punchy chilli sauce. These dishes were crafted with the same attention to quality and presentation as the main hog roast, ensuring every guest felt catered for.
Fresh accompaniments perfectly complemented the feast. Guests enjoyed a mixed salad and gourmet coleslaw, adding colour, texture, and freshness to the
plates. The combination of rich, hearty hog roast and vibrant sides made the birthday celebration feel extra special, creating a meal that everyone could enjoy together.
The Hog Roast Barnstaple team served the food onto wooden disposable crockery with wooden cutlery, giving the event a rustic, yet elegant feel. Guests commented on how seamless the service was, with the team efficiently ensuring each person received generous portions while maintaining a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
Hog Roast Barnstaple consistently delivers an unforgettable catering experience, whether it’s for milestone birthdays, family gatherings, or private parties. This 40th birthday celebration was a perfect example of their commitment to quality food, excellent service, and creating memories that last long after the plates are cleared.
