80th Birthday! Hog Roast Gorran

For a birthday party, one where you’re celebrating reaching a grand age, what could be better than getting your loved ones together for a feast? A hog roast Gorran is an ideal way to create memories with your friends and family members, as the smells and tastes will linger in your minds for a long time to come, and no one will be able to forget that special day. The amazing spectacle, the crunch of the salty crackling, and the soft, tender pieces of freshly-roasted pork melting in your mouth all combine to give you an experience to always remember.

Donna called us to book us to cater for her mum’s 80th birthday party not so long ago, and asked us for our hog roast Gorran rolls. Pork is her mum’s favourite meat, and she had yet to try a hog roast Gorran itself, so Donna thought it would be a fantastic idea to get everyone together for just that on this noteworthy day.

There were around 30 guests invited, and even a small hog would provide enough meat for seconds or more for everyone, though there were also some guests with dietary requirements who would be eating something different. One of the guests needed a gluten-free option, and Donna was happy to hear that we could bring along some gluten-free bread rolls (as everything else was suitable) and one of the guests was a vegan. Our chefs are great at creating suitable options for people who aren’t eating the hog, and the vegan option would be a mushroom and beetroot burger.

We arrived at Donna’s home on the morning of the party, and it would be served at lunchtime. Even a small hog takes a few hours to cook through and through, so we cracked on with preparing and roasting it. Nearer the time of service, the guests began to arrive and we had so many positive reactions to the lovely aromas in the garden. The vegan burger had cooked well, and then we just had to slice the fresh bread rolls to pile the bits of meat, crackling, stuffing, and apple sauce into, and we were ready. Donna’s mum queued up 3 times for more meat, so we’re sure she loved the food on her special day!
