Here at Hog Roast Shirley, we are certainly no strangers to wedding catering, but this was the first time we had been privy to the entire planning stage when we were asked to cater for a wedding roadshow! The event was taking place at a local convention centre and the roadshow organisers thought it would be great if we were there to provide the busy brides and grooms to be with some fresh and hearty slow-roasted pork to keep them going throughout the day! The place was huge and already a hive of activity when we arrived, with various companies setting up stalls all around us, from florists and photographers…

A local park that prides itself on the stunning and varied collections of plants and trees in its immaculately maintained gardens, was on the verge of unveiling its latest exciting addition: their very own tropical garden with extremely exotic species of flora, that looked more like they belonged in a rainforest! This long-awaited addition was the pride and joy of the team of horticultural experts who had worked very hard to get it looking absolutely perfect, and they had used all of their vast knowledge to get it just right. It was time to finally unveil their magnum opus to the public and they felt it warranted making special day…

There were deer stalkers, trench coats and cloche hats aplenty last weekend, when Hog Roast Bartley Green catered for Alison’s detective themed 40th birthday bash! Alison had been a lifelong fan of whodunnits, especially Agatha Christie, so for her milestone birthday she decided to pay homage to her favourite fictional heroes and villains by basing her celebration around this theme! The Hog Roast Bartley Green team are certainly no strangers to catering of fancy dress and themed parties, but this was the first time we had the honour of cooking for Sherlock Holmes, Columbo and Hercules Poirot at the same time! The birthday girl herself came as her favourite Miss…

Hog Roast Greet has catered many weddings over the years, in many different locations and from a rustic informal reception to a posh affair and everything in-between. No two weddings are alike and that means we need to provide plenty of options for those customers and guests who want something a bit (or a lot) different. While we make a mean hog roast and a mean spit roast too, we know that variety is key in catering, and that’s why for a long time now, we’ve offered various menus and the flexibility for you to even create your own. Whether you need your wedding meal catering or you need a…

Tim and his fellow artist friends love nothing more than jumping into their van armed with their paints and easels and getting into the great outdoors to paint the inspiring local landscape that surrounds them, whether it be a lake, a mountain or the rolling green hills. The group always paint outdoors, as they feel being close to nature is the best way to get their creative juices flowing! Recently their passion has become much more than a hobby for them all, as their arty exploits have not gone unnoticed, and Tim and his painting pals have now been commissioned by the local tourist board to create a piece for…

When you choose to contact Hog Roast Beech Lanes you are opened up to a whole catering world that you might not have thought was first in sight. We correct many who think we simply offer hog roasts, and in fact blow them away with our array of menus, and most importantly the standard and quality of our food and our staff. We know you want the best of the best, served by the best, and that’s exactly what we can provide. By slow roasting your chosen meat for a number of hours we produce the most delicious taste sensation and we have numerous compliments at every event we cater…

With most of the Nation, including her husband and two sons, constantly glued to the television watching the World Cup, Alison was getting fed up. If they weren’t watching it, then they were reading about it or talking about, and with still almost a fortnight to go, Alison was already at the end of her tether! She decided something had to be done about it, and whilst she couldn’t prise her family away from the football, she could at least remove herself from it, so Alison and her fellow football widows (as they had taken to calling themselves!) decided to have a garden party and declare it a strictly football-free…

With all the stress, studying and hard work finally over and a long summer of fun to look forward to before going off to Uni, a group of A Level students, decided to get the party started with a bang, by hiring Hog Roast Ashted for a garden party to celebrate their freedom! At first, Emma, who had been elected to host the party, was having a bit of trouble convincing her parents to let her have it at their house, as they weren’t very keen on the thought of 25 teenagers wreaking havoc in their garden (who would be!). But when she told them they were invited too, and…

Our Hog Roast Wheatley team love to do a good job and one of the ways we know we have is with repeat custom. When a customer enjoys the food and is impressed with the service, they’ll want to return to get the same high level of service and tasty food once again. When SAE Institute Oxford asked us to cater an event for them recently, it was for the fourth year in a row, so we must be doing something right! The SAE Institute is one of the world’s leading creative media centres, with post-secondary education in 54 campuses across 27 countries. In the UK, that’s London, Liverpool, Glasgow,…

Vintage is all the rage at the moment, with more and more people ditching modernity and acquiring a taste for the décor, crockery, ornaments and clothing from a bygone age. Everything that was deemed outdated is making a comeback and vintage fairs are becoming increasingly popular. The organisers of a very successful local vintage fair contacted Hog Roast Digbeth recently, because as well as offering retro cupcakes and coffee served in colourful 1970s mugs, they also wanted to offer their vintage-buying visitors something more substantial in the food department. You can’t get more vintage than hog roast cooking, which has been around for considerably longer than the gramophones and cloche…
