A hog roast on Thursday started last weeks proceedings for myself. The Spitting Pig hog roast was for a business breakfast, the business breakfast was in Lewes and for a local marquee company that we’ve actually worked with in the past. Having used and recommended them for a few years we were one of the first companies they thought of for business breakfast catering, we didn’t disaapoint. A spit roast pig was brought to the venue of the breakfast and started to cook in the early morning, then came 10am and all guests were presented and the time to serve the pig had come. Portions of pork were placed generously on bread rolls, topped with stunning stuffing and fresh home made apple sauce and served to the 30 breakfast attendees. Everyone, without exception, remarked just how much they enjoyed the hog roast, most of them couldn’t wait until finishing and let me know just what they thought of it as soon as they got their teeth stuck into it.
Friday was a very different job, a BBQ at the park organised by the council and open to anybody who wanted some grub on a beautiful sunny day. We made a hog roast, a chicken roast and a lamb roast. While we were roasting and serving in the background were kids playing on the park, teenagers kicking a football around at the bottom end of the park, on a little patch in the middle a group of adults had taken to a game of cricket. The local radio station had come along to provide some music and keep people entertained. There was everything to do, we had a brilliant time and it was as if we were there as locals having a fun day out rather than there doing a job.
Saturday almost went one better as we made our way out into the country to make a hog roast for a cheese and wine festival. Local cheese makers and wine makers, and both from across the country, travelled to the venue to exchange and celebrate the finer tastes of cheese and wine. Sneakily, we took the focus right off both and placed it well and truly on ourselves when we began serving our hog roast rolls to the guests.
All three days were , here’s to hoping this month serves up more of the same.
