Let’s be honest – new parenthood is a lot. You’re somewhere between deliriously in love with this tiny human and running on a level of sleep deprivation that would concern most medical professionals. The last thing you need on top of all that is the stress of planning a celebration from scratch.
And yet, christenings and naming days don’t plan themselves.
There’s the venue, the guest list, the dietary requirements you suddenly remember at 2am, the family members who RSVP late, the ones who don’t RSVP at all – and somewhere in the middle of all that, you’re supposed to sort the food. It’s a lot to manage at the best of times. With a baby in the mix, it genuinely deserves its own Olympic category.
That’s exactly the kind of situation Hog Roast Hook was built for.
From the moment you get in touch with us, our goal is simple: take the catering completely off your to-do list. We’ll work with you to build a menu that suits your guests, your budget and the overall feel of the day, and if things shift in the lead-up – a few extra guests here, a dietary requirement you forgot to mention there – Hog Roast Hook is flexible enough to adapt if you give us enough notice.
Earlier this month, we were brought in to cater a christening for 70 guests, and from the client’s reaction, it’s safe to say the decision paid off. With the food in Hog Roast Hook’s hands, she got to actually enjoy her own celebration rather than spending it fielding questions about when lunch was being served. Our team ran a smooth, efficient service and guests dug into hog roast sandwiches that were – as always – the kind of thing people talk about on the drive home. Mixed salad and gourmet coleslaw rounded out the plates nicely, while vegetarian and vegan guests had 
their own properly considered options in the form of grilled vegetable kebabs and BBQ pulled jackfruit rolls.
Everyone was fed, everyone was happy, and the new parents got to be present for the whole thing.
If you’ve got a christening or naming day on the horizon, get in touch with Hog Roast Hook. We’ll handle the food so you can enjoy the moment.
