Every spring, VE Day events are hosted across the country as a way to celebrate the occasion and gather together with your community. These events come in all shapes and sizes but often include wonderful entertainment and delicious catering. For this year’s menu, why not hire Hog Roast Bolsover to cater for the occasion?
Earlier this year, Hog Roast Bolsover was contacted by the organising committee for a town in Derbyshire to see if we could cater for their upcoming VE Day street fair. The town was hosting a public event on their high street, with hopes that local people would attend and celebrate the occasion. The event was set to include live music, children’s entertainment, and great food, making it the perfect event for guests of all ages to enjoy. For the catering, our manager Martin was tasked with providing a menu that would be suitable for approximately 400 guests, with dishes to suit multiple dietary needs and preferences. Our team got to work on creating the perfect menu since we knew that our menu would be ideal for attracting extra guests to check out the event.
When the day of the event arrived, the Hog Roast Bolsover team got to work bright and early to prepare all of our dishes at the venue. We began by slow-roasting the hog and allowing it to cook for around five hours. Once ready, the pork was expertly carved and served in fresh bread rolls (or a gluten-free alternative), alongside sage and onion stuffing, homemade applesauce, and crispy crackling. Additionally, we served succulent pork sausages and veggie sausages in hot dog rolls. The main dishes were accompanied by homemade chips, gourmet coleslaw, and a green leaf salad. Our catering was a big success with the guests and our team were busy all day serving the crowds of customers that turned out to celebrate VE Day!
