Good afternoon, we have just got back to head office after our weekend of hog roasting down south. As promised in our last blog I will give you a run down of the event. The event was for a wedding on Sunday, they had our party menu 5 which is the most extravagant of our party menu’s. The menu 5 consists of a choice of four canapés, a choice of whole spit roasted meat, a vegetarian option, a choice of three salads, a potato option and finally desserts.
The couple chose to be traditional with their choice of meat and had pork, for the canapés they had mini pizzas, smoke salmon on brown bread, roast beef in mini yorkshire puddings and halloumi kebabs. The halloumi kebabs are griddled hunks of halloumi which is a Greek cheese that has a high melting point so it is perfect for grilling. It is then skewered onto cocktail sticks with caramelised onions and peppers. Halloumi kebabs are also vegetarian, making them a must have at large events and weddings in my opinion.
We took four members of staff with us to the wedding to help serve the canapés and they were continuously running backwards and forwards to be loaded back up with more food as they were absolutely flying out. The main course of the whole spit roasted pig went down fantastically and the guests absolutely loved our freshly made stuffing. The couple had also asked if we could do a whole roast salmon as well as the pork which we absolutely can, they look amazing too because we remove the skin from the fleshy portion of the fish and replace it with sliced cucumbers and lemons.
For the dessert the customer had summer pudding which is a bit strange in winter but apparently it was the brides mothers favourite dessert who had recently passed away.
We were told at the night that we had definitely done her memory proud and that she would have probably have adored it. After everyone had finished with their desserts (and second helpings of dessert) we cleaned everything down, packed away all the rubbish and crockery and set off for home with no sign that we had been there other than full bellies and slightly tighter belts.
