Menu Ideas

Its Tuesday the 15th of November and yes we are half way through the month already. It seems that Christmas is just around the corner  now and everyone is getting into the festive spirit.

Today here in the office we have been putting together different Christmas menu ideas for clients that call the office wanting to book for Christmas parties leading up to the 25th of December.

We are able to cook Turkey on our machines so we are making sure that our clients are aware of this when they enquire, we are also able to adjust our menus to bring our clients the menu of their choice by adding things such as potato options also seasonal vegetables and pudding options if this is what they are after. The catering team are very flexible when it comes to putting menus together and are able to give customers the menus that they desire not just the menus on our website however the menus on our website are the most popular ones that we get enquiries about.

Monday Catch Up

Good afternoon and welcome to the first hog blog of the week brought to you from here at the hog roast caterer office.

Mondays are always our busiest day of the week here in the office. This is because we have all the emails from the weekend to reply back to, however we have managed to respond to all the emails and telephone calls from the weekend already and also Mondays enquiries so far.

This now gives us plenty of time this week to catch up on all of our New years eve and Christmas party bookings, we have time now to check that everything is running smoothly on our computer systems and that we have the correct information from our clients for upcoming events that we have logged on our computers.

 This week we have a quiet week with only a couple of events taking place on Saturday and both of these are last minute bookings that have come through this weekend, luckily the catering team are able to cater for events with sometimes less that a weeks notice (that is if we are not already fully booked for that particular date) which is great news for our customers that have decided that they want a hog roast or have been let down by another catering company perhaps? as our catering team is loyal and professional when it comes to the organization for any of our bookings early or last minute they are both treated at a high standard.

Company Event

Hello and good afternoon Hog caterer blog readers its Thursday the 10th of November 2011… and time for the latest Hog Blog brought to you from here in the office we hope you are having a great day so far I thought I would take 5 minutes to tell you what the catering team will be getting up to this evening as they have already set up at the event they are catering for in a couple of hours.

The catering team have headed out about 20 minutes away from the office today and will be catering for over 300 people at a company event, the event is only three hours long so they wanted the catering team to be there nice and early to cook the meat on site. This way it will be easier for the employees to nibble on once cooked, with the pork rolls, stuffing, crackling and apple sauce the host of the event also wanted pasta at the event to go along side the meat rolls, and also salad. Adding pastas and salads to your chosen menu really steps it up a notch and brings more of a feel to the event.
