It is the time of year when outdoor entertaining starts to become a very appealing prospect. There is nothing better than sharing good food, good times and a tipple or two with your family, friends, colleagues or community outside in the sunshine. As fun as alfresco celebration are, they do take a bit of thought and planning to ensure they run smoothly, everyone has a great time, and that you provide the required standard, volume and variety of food for your guests, depending on the occasion.
The setting
Warmer weather and longer evenings give you many more options when choosing a venue for your event. There a plenty of great outdoor venues to choose from in the area, or if you prefer you can host a party in your own back garden, or a business event at your company premises. By doing it outdoors, you are giving yourself a lot more freedom and making it a more unique occasion for your guests.
The catering
This is such an important thing to get right and providing food outdoors can be challenging if you don’t have much experience with it. That’s why it is much better to leave it to the experts – here at Hog Roast Salcombe we are accomplished outdoor event caterers for all sizes and themes of events. We can do everything from mass catering to alfresco fine dining, and we prepare all our food from scratch onsite. You don’t have to compromise on anything related to the food if we are doing the catering.
The ambience
The food also plays a role in helping you to establish to right tone for your event. If you want a more relaxed, family friendly and informal feel, sharing, platters, buffets and BBQs are great. If you want a more formal vibe for a special occasion, a sit-down meal preceded by a canapé welcome reception is ideal.
The food service
How the food is presented and served goes hand in hand with the ambience. Hog Roast Salcombe can offer finger food and sociable sharing platters for events where you want your guests to mingle. Alternatively, we can provide front of house and waiting staff for special occasions and formal dining for a more structured feel to your event.
