There’s nothing quite like the joy of welcoming loved ones back home after a long absence. And for May, the return of her son Scott and daughter-in-law Lucy from their five-year adventure in New Zealand called for a celebration like no other.
Determined to make their homecoming unforgettable, May enlisted the help of Hog Roast Spalding to cater for a family get-together that would leave everyone feeling nourished and cherished. May wanted nothing but the best for her guests, so she opted for our iconic Alfresco Menu – a brilliant choice if we do say so, ourselves!
Catering manager, Rob, and the team descended upon the client’s home on Saturday afternoon, and as they set up in the back garden, May couldn’t help but marvel at how compact and efficient our catering arrangement was, leaving plenty of space for guests to mingle and enjoy the outdoor ambience.
Next, the catering crew got started on preparing our crowd-pleasing hog roast. Expertly scored, rubbed with salt, and left to sizzle and spit over a low flame, the meat promised to be succulent and flavourful.
As the hog slowly cooked, Rob and his team whipped up the vegan BBQ-pulled jackfruit and a delicious array of sides, including buttered new potatoes, coleslaw, and salads. As the heavenly smells wafted through the air, guests began to arrive, greeted by the enticing sight of antipasti platters overflowing with Italian meats, cheeses, artisan bread, and flavourful dressings.
The arrival of Scott and Lucy only added to the excitement, as they were greeted with cheers and hugs from friends and family alike. With plates piled high with Hog Roast Spalding’s delicious hog roast rolls, the celebrations kicked into high gear, with laughter and music filling the air.
And just when they thought the evening couldn’t get any better, out rolled the desserts! Hog Roast Spalding’s chocolate-smothered profiteroles and creamy individual cheesecakes served as a sweet finale to a truly unforgettable celebration.
As the last crumbs were cleared away and guests bid their farewells, it was clear that May’s welcome home party had been a brilliant success. From the lively atmosphere to the outstanding food service, this celebration was one to remember!
