After a few days of rain the sun was out again in Odiham. As we headed south for a birthday celebration we were all excited to be part of her special day. Hog roast Odiham were cooking for two hundred guests and a lovely menu was on show. Chicken, lamb and beef sandwiches with relish, coleslaw and salad were on the menu, with plenty of orange juice and lots of champagne! The birthday was a special one. A 30th birthday for a lovely lady who’s family descended from the other side of the world so they were all coming over to help her celebrate. We assured her that we would give her and the guests a day to remember!
Hog Roast Odiham were catering in the customers back garden. We brought our huge marquee which is a very useful in cases we get a down pour and keeps us shaded in the blistering heat, we laid the huge table in a cream cloths and placed silver and gold platters on the table ready for the meat.
Bread baskets were placed for the buns which we put out at the very last minute so they keep as fresh as possible and huge glass bowls for the salad which again is done last. The meat is the first thing that goes onto cook so we erected the machine upon arrival and placed on the meat, all our staff looked ever so smart all wearing their crisp white uniform.
The waitresses greeted the guests upon arrival with a glass of juice or champagne. The guests were very fascinated in our machines and some did say that they had tasted hog roasted food in their native country and were keen to see how ours matched up, so no pressure! When the meat was cooked we added the finishing touches. The salad, the buns, the dips and the coleslaw were placed in the dishes the guests helped themselves We kept carving the meat and placing more and more on the tables.
After the meal some of the guests came over and commented that it was the best hog roast they had ever tasted, now that was the compliment we were looking for!
