While we may be renowned for providing hog roasts for all kinds of parties and events, and while our name may hint at that too, our new customers are often surprised to find out that we can cook much more in addition to or even instead of a Hog Roast Maidstone. We clearly love roasting hogs and as a dedicated Hog Roast chef myself, I couldn’t imagine not doing so, but all our chefs are experienced and qualified to cook much more than that. You may not want to eat pork on your special occasion as you prefer different kinds of meat or you may have guests with dietary requirements who are unable to eat a hog; over the years we have found that ensuring that we offer variety is key to establishing repeat custom and attracting new customers. Plus making sure that non-meat-eaters and those with allergies and intolerances can still enjoy our tasty food is something that we are passionate about.
When our team at Hog Roast Maidstone recently catered for Alasdair and his new bride’s wedding reception meal at Tovil Community Centre, we were asked to provide lamb joints and whole chickens, all to be spit-roasted on-site and then served to the fifty guests alongside salads. Tovil Community Centre hires out a large hall for functions such as this, and it’s the perfect size for a group of people getting together to celebrate a birthday, engagement, a meal after a christening or even a lovely wedding reception like this. The hall has a fully-equipped kitchen but as our hog roast machines are built to be used like conventional ovens, we can use them to cook everything, including the lamb joints and whole chickens that we brought along on this day.
While they may not take as long as roasting a whole hog, spit-roasting chickens and lamb joints is a process that takes time, care and effort, and after we had prepared all the meat, we set them cooking and kept a watchful eye on them. Once roasted evenly and beautifully, with moist meat on the inside and lovely, golden brown skin on the outside, it was time to freshly prepare the salad dishes and serve the bride and groom and some hungry guests. There was even plenty of lamb left for the happy couple to take home.
