Royal Navy Baby shower with Hog Roast Gravesend!

Hog Roast Gravesend can cater at any type of event you have coming up whether that is a wedding, birthday or even a corporate event! Due to our fully flexible style of cooking we can cater for any number of guests and are able to provide a variety of food to keep everyone happy despite any dietary needs or requirements.

Last week we were lucky enough to be asked to cater for one of Head Office - pig3our favourite types of events; a baby shower. We just love catering baby showers as we get to see how excited everyone is about the arrival of a new family member and it is often the first time everyone gets to find out the gender of the baby. For Kim’s baby shower she really wanted a relaxed affair as she had found it stressful trying to organise the party by herself as her husband, Jake, was away with work as he was part of the Royal Navy. We assured Kim that we would take care of everything from there on in and would prepare the most delicious food for her guests.

We settled on a simple menu of a whole roasted hog that would be served in floured rolls whilst the gift giving was taking place. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Hog Roast Gravesend without our signature crackling and lashings of our homemade applesauce which was served on tap!

As the guests sat down to start the gift giving, it has become tradition that everyone brings something for the baby at these types of events, they were all happily munching away on our Hog Roast Gravesend. It was finally time for the baby’s grandmother to give her gift and as it turned out she brought her son, Jake, in. He had returned home early from his deployment with the navy just to be at the baby shower! I don’t think there was a dry eye in the place…
