The summer bank holiday weekend is just about here, but before we get there the Hog Roast Coxheath team had one massive corporate event to cater first. And when we say massive, we really mean it for this one.
This past weekend saw an event that was most certainly on the larger end of the scale in terms of our corporate clients and events, as our local Hog Roast Coxheath team catered for a corporate event of 750 guests. It’s not all too often we get events that near to the 1000 mark, but even when they do, we are always well prepared to provide the exact same high level of catering that even an event of just 75 would receive.
To manage such a high number of guests, our head chef Matt devised a bespoke dining menu that would allow us to offer a variety of tastes while still retaining our quality in every dish. The decision was made to make a 50/50 split in our meaty mains – one half with our signature hog roast cooked, shredded, and served with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce, and crackling, and the other half to be a choice of halal marinated chicken thighs. Thanks to our own-designed mobile roasting machine, we can have our hog roast cooking while also grilling up many chicken thighs at once. The grill attachment and the size of these machines means the quantity was never going to be an issue, and in fact no quality would have to be sacrificed just to satisfy the far higher number of guests. Our hog roast remains our hog roast no matter the numbers involved.
Served with a veggie option of veggie burgers and vegetable samosas, and sides of mixed salad, slaw, herb dressed new potatoes, and freshly made fries, it was a feast worthy of the event. It was all hands on deck for serving, with every one of our chefs and servers performing admirably to keep the dining line moving while ensuring that each and every guest still received a quality experience. It was one to be proud of for the whole Hog Roast Coxheath team. Our thanks to our corporate client for throwing us the challenge!
