Celebrate your Birthday with Hog Roast Chatham!

As we get older many people stop celebrating their birthdays as we once did as children and are often looking for a more sophisticated yet low key way to get friends and family together for the day. Hog Roast Chatham are the ideal caterers for this sort of event. Our slow roasted food always goes down well with guests of all ages and it is informal enough that you don’t feel you are going overboard for having us there on your birthday.

Hog Roast ChathamTom got in touch with Hog Roast Chatham to request us to come and cater at his partner, Andreas birthday celebrations. He told us they were just planning a low-key event at their house with close friends and family as it wasn’t a big birthday, but Andrea still liked to do something nice on her day.

Arriving bright and early we got set up in the couple’s garden under our trusty gazebo as you never can trust the British weather. With a couple of hours to go until the guests arrived, we had plenty of time to ensure the most flavourful and succulent meat possible. As always, we start cooking our Hog Roast Chatham by preparing the meat. In this case Tom had chosen a small hog for us to roast for their thirty guests and so we began by adding water to the skin and massaging in some sea salt to create that crispy crackling that people know us for. We also prepared some seasonal vegetables to roast in the machine alongside the hog to give them some extra flavour and so that everything would be ready at about the same time. For good measure and in case of any dietary requirements our head chef brought along a homemade vegan tarte that he had made and also whipped up a couple of vibrant salads to go with it.

We would like to wish Andrea a Happy birthday from all of us here at Hog Roast Chatham!
