Hog Roast Stevenage were delighted to be asked to cater for 200 people at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Stevenage as part of their Ruby anniversary in joining with other churches. This was a bit different for us as we cater for many different types of event alongside private parties like this; weddings, corporate events, birthdays etc. but we are always confident that our food and service will suit any occasion and venue.
Hog Roast Stevenage has a selection of six menus for private functions; Slow Roasted Hog Served in a Roll, Southern Slow Roast Menu, Slow Roasted Hog served with Fresh Salads or Vegetables, Hog Roast Alfresco Dining, Formal Indoor and Outdoor Dining options and Formal Sit-Down Catering. It was clear upon discussing with the client that it would be a very informal event with a very large number of people wanting food; disposable plates and cutlery and a “hog in a roll†is the usual fare for this type of event and this would certainly be the case here!
We arrived well before the event was due to start and liaised with the organiser to discuss set-up time and access for loading which was pretty straightforward; we were aware that a Ceilidh band would also be playing and needed to co-ordinate times and setting up with them also.
Once the guests started arriving we got the hog roast started so that everyone could smell the mouth-watering aromas to get the 
stomach juices flowing and this created immediate interest with many guests chomping at the bit to eat some of the delicious hog. The guests brought their own salads and desserts so we were just on the hook for providing the meat and there were many of the guests taking pictures of the hog as it was roasting and asking questions about the food. Hog Roast Stevenage is not aware of any religious conversions that occurred at the event but one vegetarian wanted to try some meat when they knew that the pig was a free-range and non-processed!
