A popular up-market local wine bar had decided to launch a monthly wine tasting evening to get their new ‘wines of the world’ initiative up and running, whereby each month they would promote wines from different countries around the world and give their clientele the opportunity to sample them at what would become a regular gathering each month. The bar manager wanted to make their maiden wine tasting evening a night to remember and keep their wine-loving customers coming back for more. Because of this, he didn’t want to just offer the usual generic nibbles; he wanted fresh food and a variety of flavours and textures that would compliment each wine that was being sampled. He thought this would be quite a challenge- that was until he discovered the wide variety of flavour combinations offered by Hog Roast Earlham!
Whilst we are of course best known for our superior quality hog roasts, we are not just a one hit wonder! Hog Roast Earlham have a vast array of canapes, meat and vegetable options and with the assistance of our knowledgeable team, the bar manager had great fun selecting which flavours would compliment all of the wines he had chosen for the evening. Impressed with the diversity of our corporate menus and confident he had covered all bases wine-wise, the bar manager’s menu of choice included an eclectic mix of smoked salmon and mini roast and beef Yorkshire Pudding canapes, organic whole roasted chicken with a crispy Thai salad accompaniment, and classic slow roasted pork with all the trimmings.
The tone of the evening was both fun and educational, with a series of activities set up to 
increase people’s knowledge about wine and encourage them to develop more discerning palettes, with the added bonus that they weren’t obliged to spit the wine out after all the swilling and gargling! The blind taste test went down particularly well and there was an air of amusement in the room as the would-be sommeliers realised that perhaps they didn’t know their Malbec from their Merlot after all! All the while, the wine lovers were also enjoying the food and complimented us on how each of Hog Roast Earlham’s freshly-made, well-crafted dishes matched each wine perfectly!
