I just had to let you know about the fantastic hog roast we organised for the Leonardo restaurant in Chelsea last Sunday. The weather was brilliant for once, with the sun having his smiley face on!
We all love these events when we are invited as “guests” at an established restaurant. This was a special day for the owners of the restaurant, who were celebrating five successful years in the business. Peter and Sue wanted to thank their regular customers by inviting them to their anniversary bash! This, as you’ll have gathered, is where we came in. After some deliberations about which of our great choice of roasts would be most appropriate for all age groups, we all agreed to keep it simple. The time to make the decision had nothing at all to do with imbibing a couple of small Sherries! That’s my story and I’m sticking with it – you may have a different viewpoint.
Why don’t you be a part of the “in crowd” and book one of our wonderful hog roasts for your special occasion? It could be for a family celebration – significant birthday, or anniversary, or perhaps a Christening event for the youngest member of the family. They won’t remember it – but that’s not the point. Alternatively, it makes a wonderful wedding breakfast or how about hiring us to top off a community event – for instance a summer fayre on the village green.
Back to this particular event it worked really well for everyone involved; we worked in tandem with their own chef who produced some marvellous food. We eventually agreed to have a hog roast and to complement it with a lamb roast. The restaurant chef took care of everything else including vegetarian and fish options and did an amazing job.
We weren’t sure how many folk were going to attend as both Sue and Peter had been throwing invitations to anyone within arm’s length, but on the day we estimated that there were about 400 people inside and out!
We set up in the restaurant’s garden and had lots of tables and chairs dotted around so that folk could sit outside if they wanted. A local steel band got everyone in a party mood and with an entertainer for the kids – of all ages – the day will be remembered for all the right reasons for a long time.
At the end of a wonderful day in Chelsea, we cleared everything away and you wouldn’t have known that we had been there. We always leave the location as we find it!
We always enjoy ourselves at all of our hog roasts. Our chefs and catering teams are here to make sure that the day progresses smoothly. We can provide all the elements to make the event exactly how you envisage it. Should you, however, prefer to hire the equipment from us and be Jamie Oliver or any other well-known chef for the day, go for it! We’ll help you but remember that if you’re in charge of the roast, you won’t be able to spend much time enjoying yourself with the family.
