For most university students, this will be their first experience of living away from home, which can be a very daunting experience. It is important to create a welcoming atmosphere on the move-in day, and providing a delicious catering option is a great way to do this. At Hog Roast Takeley, we have the perfect comfort meal for the occasion!
Lisa is a student wellbeing officer at a private university accommodation in Essex. Part of her job is to help the new students settle in at the start of the academic year, which she does by hosting drop-in sessions, welcome events, and information about the city. One of the first events of the term is a communal meal that takes place in the garden of the accommodation. The garden will be filled with picnic blankets and benches to give students plenty of space to sit and enjoy the delicious catering. For the menu, Hog Roast Takeley has been hired to provide our Gourmet BBQ menu. Our catering manager James suggested this menu since it is the most varied option with plenty of different dishes to choose from, which should ensure that there is something for every student to enjoy.
On the day of the event, the Hog Roast Takeley team will arrive at the venue in the morning and set up our catering station in the garden. We will begin by preparing the main dishes, which include succulent pork sausages, veggie sausages, juicy British beef burgers, halloumi and vegetable skewers, marinated chicken kebabs, and BBQ spareribs. These dishes will be served with fresh bread rolls and accompanied by homemade chips, sweet potato fries, gourmet coleslaw, corn cobettes, a green leaf salad, and creamy mac and cheese. Overall, this menu will be the perfect addition to the event and is sure to be a great talking point for the students to chat about as they get to know each other.
Hog Roast Takeley can cater for any kind of academic or social event at your university. To find out more, simply let us know your party size, date, and location and we can do the rest.
