Hog Roast Cornwall

With the whole world seemingly obsessed with taking selfies and snapping everything that moves on their camera phones, it was nice for Hog Roast Padstow to meet a group of people who still consider photography to be an art form! We were asked to cater for the end of term party for a local photography class, whose teacher still believes in teaching her students how to do it the old-fashioned way, including how to create their own lighting effects manually before taking the photo, instead of digitally editing it afterwards, and they even have their own dark room to develop their photographs themselves! We were all very excited to see the…

With the constant sunshine and seas around the UK becoming as warm as the Med, the beaches have been busier than ever lately. Despite all the usual safety warnings, when the sun comes out, people always take risks in the water and if it wasn’t for the highly trained, brave men and women keeping watch over them as they plunge into the unpredictable coastal waters, it could lead to tragedy. For one group of lifeguards at a particularly popular local beach, that means they have had to extra hard work to ensure everyone stays safe. Their supervisors recognised this and wanted to reward them for the crucial role they play…

The plucky Hog Roast Falmouth team found ourselves catering in the middle of a battlefield recently, which proves beyond any doubt that we really can cook anywhere! It wasn’t the first time we had been there either- for the third year running we had been asked to provide one of our traditional hog roasts for the annual re-enactment of a famous local battle! Whereas once it was the scene of bloodshed, today it is all in good fun and a way for local history buffs to make sure people never forget their heritage. The re-enactment society first contacted us 3 years ago because they wanted to provide food for all…

Helen and Brian started out selling a few plants on a market stall 10 years ago and since then they have gone on to achieve their dream of opening their own garden centre, which has expanded over the years to include a café selling organic food. They had started having monthly events at the garden centre and wanted to attract people to hire their café and its pleasant outdoor area for private parties and corporate events. They wanted to organise an event to advertise their venue with a view to hiring it out on a regular basis. They didn’t just want to hire any old catering company though, because they…

The Hog Roast Mullion team found ourselves cooking in the courtyard of a bookshop and café a few days ago, preparing one of our classy corporate buffets for the book signing event of a new local author! Lindsey had always been considered something of a foodie by her friends and family and was always giving them amazing recipes. With a lot of encouragement, they eventually persuaded her to write her own recipe book and she achieved her dream of getting it published! Lindsey had always been a massive advocate of fresh local produce and making the most of seasonal ingredients, which is the theme of her new recipe book.  When…

Emily has to forgo having a nice cold glass of Chardonnay on a Friday night now that she is expecting, which is why she wanted to make the most of her other favourite weekend indulgence of roasted pork and crispy crackling! So, when she was planning her baby shower, she decided she wanted the best there was and hired Hog Roast Liskeard to do the catering for her and all of her female friends and relatives! Our hog roasts are becoming an increasingly popular choice for christenings, but it was nice to be asked to be involved in celebrating the good news before the baby was born! We are just…

Hog Roast Liskeard had a great opportunity to showcase our culinary diversity last weekend and prove beyond any doubt, that we don’t just do informal food and we don’t just do pork! We were asked by the owners of a newly renovated building in the town centre to provide one of our classy (and as it happens pork-free!) corporate menus at a gathering to celebrate the completion of the project and to thank the architects involved in making it all happen! They had transformed a former derelict mill into a vibrant modern space that was to be rented out for retail and commercial use, but rather than knocking it down and…

Here at Hog Roast Looe we love the wide variety of locations we find ourselves in when we are catering for wedding receptions, both indoors and outdoors. This diversity is only possible because of our versatile approach and our ability to freshly prepare all of our wedding menus at the venue, wherever that may be. This is why Paula and Rob chose us to cater for their big day, they had their heart set on a dramatic clifftop venue in the grounds of holiday park, and we were only caterers they could find who could provide a stunning wedding feast at such a high altitude! The Hog Roast Looe team…

The wacky world of Alice in Wonderland was the theme of the last birthday Hog Roast Padstow had the pleasure of catering for and we knew we would be in for an interesting night with lots of weird and wonderful costumes! As it had been birthday girl Kate’s favourite book since childhood, it was the obvious choice for the fancy dress theme for her 30th birthday! Apparently, the party guests had been slightly perturbed when she first told them what the dress code would be, but as they were all used to Kate’s eccentric tastes, they soon got into the spirit of things and had great fun deciding what character…

David and Lorraine are the man and wife team behind a local angling club, which offers its members the opportunity to improve their fresh water fishing techniques in a tranquil environment with experts on had to offer advice about the best methods and equipment. They had been trying to think of ways to revamp their image and attract more anglers to their club, which had been a bit quiet lately. They decided a lakeside party with the offer of a free mini fishing lesson and incentives for new members to join would be a fun way to introduce people to the art of fresh water fishing and make them realise…
