Is there any better way to say “thank you” than with a mouth-watering meal? We’ll wait… Nope? Thought so. Food really is the universal love language – it fills the belly, lifts the spirits, and says what words sometimes can’t. And that doesn’t just apply to friends and family. Your team at work deserves a taste of appreciation too!
One company that clearly gets this is Stryker, the world-renowned medical technology brand that’s helped over 150 million patients around the globe. Behind that success is a dedicated logistics and operations team who keep everything running smoothly – from supply chain management to product quality and compliance. It’s safe to say, their shoulders carry a lot!
So, to give their hardworking crew a well-earned pat on the back, the Stryker branch on Hambridge Road decided to host a relaxed thank-you lunch earlier this month. And who better to bring the flavour than Hog Roast Newbury?
Our dynamic duo, catering managers James and Roy, took charge of the day – and as always, they nailed it. With sixty hungry guests to feed by noon, they rolled up their sleeves, set up the cooking station, and got that free-range hog sizzling away on our trusty HogMaster in record time. As the meat slow-roasted over several hours, the smells filled the air with the kind of aroma that make it impossible not to drool.
Meanwhile, the team whipped up fluffy sage and onion stuffing, a bowl of fresh applesauce, plus crisp sides of mixed salad and gourmet coleslaw. But we didn’t stop there – because inclusivity is always on the menu! For the vegan guests, Hog Roast Newbury prepared BBQ pulled jackfruit drenched in smoky hickory sauce, tucked into gluten-free or wholemeal buns, and topped with plant-based slaw. Even the meat lovers were blown away!
Everything was served on eco-friendly wooden plates to match the laid-back vibe the client wanted – simple, stylish, and sustainable. The result? Smiles all around, full bellies, and a team that felt genuinely appreciated.
So, if your staff have been smashing it lately and deserve a tasty “thank you,” give Hog Roast Newbury a call – we’ll help you serve gratitude the delicious way!
