For a joint birthday party celebrating Mike’s 21st and his sister Julia’s 18th, their parents booked us in to cater an intimate garden party with a hog roast St Austell for 16 family guests of adults and children. They asked us for a main menu of pigs in buns, with the hog roasted on-site at the family home, and a vegetarian option of goats cheese tart for one of the guests. Additionally, we would make fresh Waldorf and Caesar salads on the day, and cook herby buttered new potatoes in a tray underneath the hog.

We cooked the small beast for a few hours on the afternoon of the party, aiming to serve around 5PM. Some of the guests, travelling to the party by train, had been delayed for over an hour, so once it was perfectly cooked, we kept the meat and potatoes warm and waited for their arrival. Our machines can easily keep pigs hot as they simmer in their own juices, so it wasn’t an issue at all. We put together the salad dishes, got our own apple sauce and stuffing ready, and sliced the white floured rolls while we enjoyed chatting to the other guests as we waited.

Once all the guests were there, we toasted the birthday boy and girl and then we were busy carving off the lovely crackling and slicing into the juicy pork. We filled lots of soft rolls with the tender meat and crispy crackling pieces, piling them high with the sauce and stuffing. The guests helped themselves to salad and condiments and for a while, all we could hear were the satisfied sighs and moans of people enjoying their dinner. There were plenty of leftovers after everyone had eaten their fill, so the family would be freezing or chilling some to enjoy the leftover hog roast St Austell another time.
