As the working week winds down for most people we at Chef and Griddle are loading up our vans ready for the weekends work hog roasting. The supposed blizzard is apparently nearly on us and we have already had one cancellation due to the weather. For our customers who have stuck to their guns and will be going through with their event are in a for a huge treat. Can you imagine anything better than being outside (or inside) with the snow coming down a hot pork roll in one hand and crispy crackling in the other? We have a very lucky hog roast Benfleet customer who is having freshly made and seasoned mulled wine as well as hot apple juice and cinnamon with their hog roast tomorrow
Today we made a booking for a lovely woman who is having roast chicken as well an afternoon style tea. Roast chicken is fantastic when cooked spit roast style, the smell of slow roasting chicken is hard to beat and it also looks amazing with multiple chickens turning on a spit. To supplement chicken we make freshly made stuffing and tasty gravy using the juices from the chickens. When served into a bread roll with stuffing and drizzled with a bit of the homemade gravy the chicken is exceptional, it falls off the bone without being too greasy. The afternoon style menu is something we do quite often and in this case consists of freshly baked scones, cakes as well as having an urn of tea, coffee and mints that the customers can help themselves too.
With Easter coming up in the next few months we will be very busy at Chef and Griddle and with the coming of spring we will have a fresh batch of nice spring lambs. As brutal as it sounds it will be excellent to have these lambs to stick on our spit roast machines as they are perfect when seasoned with rosemary and herbs and slow cooked to perfection. These fresh new lambs will also be excellent on our barbecue menus as awesomely tasty lamb kebabs.
