Tradition of Hog Roasts to Enhance Your Event

Hog roasts are one of the most exciting catering ideas when it comes to events. The visual elements, sounds and aromas created by expert hog roast companies can get a crowd talking before they’ve even tasted a bite. As a versatile option, hog roasts are chosen for many different types of celebrations. This includes traditional gatherings which need a menu to befit such an occasion. Here’s how the tradition of hog roasts can enhance your event.

The tradition of cooking whole pigs as part of a hog roast spans hundreds, maybe even thousands of years. Over the centuries, expert techniques were established to slowly roast meat over a fire to keep it as tender as possible.

Now, in the 21st century, there are many global and cultural influences which have gone into each hog roast company’s techniques, flavours and presentations, all with the aim of serving a delicious feast. They’re chosen for everything from weddings caterings and parties to corporate gatherings, delighting crowds and igniting all the senses.

The hog is the centrepiece of your menu, having been slow-cooked until it’s succulent and full of flavour. There’s also the sides to think about, including fresh bread rolls, tasty salads and seasoned roast potatoes, which we always cook beneath the pig to capitalise on the incredible taste of the juices. Accompaniments which can’t be missed include apple sauce and of course, out of this world, crispy crackling.
