Retirement is something you look forward to for years, so it can be a great idea to host a celebration to commemorate it. Whether you choose to celebrate with family or with work colleagues, the event is sure to be a lot of fun! At Hog Roast Old Heath, we have a variety of menus that may be ideal for this occasion, including this tasty buffet…
This July, Hog Roast Old Heath was hired by Terry’s family to cater for his retirement party, at the age of 70! Terry had worked in a number of jobs throughout his life, before settling into a role at a children’s charity. He was looking forward to retiring and being able to spend more time with his family, so it was a great idea for them to host a party for him to enjoy. For the catering, our manager James was hired to provide a classic hog roast for the occasion, with enough for 50 guests to enjoy. The party was going to be a lot of fun and would be a great way to enter the next chapter of Terry’s life.
On the day of the party, the Hog Roast Old Heath team arrived at Terry’s home in Essex to set up our catering station and prepare the menu. We began by slow roasting the hog which required approximately 5 hours to cook to perfection. Once ready, it was expertly carved and served in fresh bread rolls. The pork was accompanied by sage and onion stuffing, crispy crackling, and homemade applesauce. As well as the rolls, we also served homemade chips and seasonal vegetables, to create a tasty and versatile menu. Our catering went down a treat and was a success among the guests, with everyone tucking into what we had to offer. Terry had a great time and loved the surprise that his family had put on for him.
