Whilst talking to more and more of our catering teams who were out servicing the hog and spit roasting needs of people all over the country, it has become apparent that more has happened than I had previously expected. Many of our fully qualified and experienced chefs and technicians had the pleasure of showcasing their various spit and hog roasting specialities at a huge variety and host of food shows across the land.
At one of these shows, one of our teams experienced a great medieval spectacle, which allowed for a huge amount of fun to be had both on behalf of the many hundreds of tourists and guests, as well as on behalf of our catering team which formed part of the catering line-up. Whilst many children and parents prepared for the medieval jousting festivities, our catering team had a great opportunity to get out and mingle amongst all the party revelers and to assess the ‘situation on the ground’ as regards the spectacle of the hog roast. It was a real eye opener for even our most experienced of chefs, who knew that our services were popular anyway. When touring the queues and lines of people around and about the place at this food festival, our catering teams were completely overawed by the amount of sheer enthusiasm exerted by the people which they met and the folk which they spoke to. When it came to service time, our stunningly visible turning hogs had all the people enthused to the point where our team believed that they may get overrun with food requests! The people adored the sights, sounds and smells that the hogs gave, and when it came to tasting the food… Well, im sure you know the answer! Everyone loved it, including the jousters and all the actors in the medieval mock-up display. When many other caterers still had much produce, our caterers had utilized the meat on two hogs, having fed over 400 people! Having served a huge amount more than any other caterer, our catering team packed up their equipment well ahead of any other caterer too. Talk about being the taste of the nation? The public couldn’t get enough.
