Our catering teams have had a very busy weekend at Chef and Griddle, we had two events booked in one for Saturday evening and another for early Sunday. The event on Saturday was for a Halloween party for a group of students at a university, they had our classic hog roast which consists of a whole spit roast pig, professionally presented crackling, freshly made stuffing, apple sauce and fresh floured rolls. The party was fantastic, there were a number of weird and wonderful costumes on show such as someone dressed as Psy from Gangnam Style fame. As is usually the case at university a lot more people turned up than originally intended and they were all interested in the hog roast. However we always bring more food than is required and there was enough to go around very comfortably.
After the party we cleaned all of the machines ready for the next day of catering they are all stainless steel so the cleaning did not take too long and we got an early night to prepare for our early morning. The event on Sunday was a breakfast meal consisting of warm bacon barms for a group of paint ballers before they started the days activities. The barms went down a treat and they all seemed to look a lot livelier for that time of morning once they tried the food.
On the way back from the paint balling event our events manager received a call from a lovely woman who was a bit on the panicked side to say the least as she had been let down by another company for a hog roast that evening. We agreed to do their catering that evening as we had no other events we had to go to, luckily our butcher was able to provide us with a pig at short notice as that is not always the case. The event went fantastically, the woman and her husband were very thankful that we provided their hog roast at such short notice and they even wrote us a card to say thank you which came in the post today.
