Hog Roast Portsmouth were delighted to be invited to cater for John’s 70th birthday party. John got in touch with us to request our signature hog roast for his celebration on the 14th of June 2025. Over the past few months, we worked alongside John to create a fully tailored menu. The event was held in his back garden with 40 of his closest friends and family. As soon as we arrived, we were fascinated to see groups of kites (birds of prey). It became a brilliant talking point with guests, and we made sure to snap some photos too!
Hog Roast Portsmouth were asked to serve at 2.30 pm. Therefore, we arrived on-site in the morning. Did you know it takes approximately 6 hours for the pig to roast fully from the skin to the core? This gave us plenty of time to prepare and cook the dishes before serving at John’s chosen time. Catering manager Jack and his team set up the gazebo and the state-of-the-art roasting machine in John’s chosen location. Then, we placed the huge hog on the spit and began roasting. Alongside the pork, we served delectable stuffing and crackling for that extra dose of flavour. And making sure that no one got hungry, we also served sides including herb potatoes, mixed salads and even coleslaw. For the vegetarians in attendance, grilled vegetables and halloumi skewers (without halloumi for vegans) went down a treat. John thought of everyone, and there was plenty to go around for 40 guests. Many also helped themselves to seconds if they were extra peckish. And we also asked John if he’d like us to save some leftovers to enjoy the next day.Hog Roast Portsmouth have catered for birthday parties, christenings, and garden parties across the UK.
