It’s the busiest time of the year here at hog roast hire Elmswell, with Christmas parties to cater for left right and centre, and not much sign of anything letting up until the 2nd of January, when we’ll finally be taking a well earned rest for a day or two. The annual winter party season is always a big deal in the catering industry, but at times it’s seemed like we’ve been busier than ever this year, austerity or no austerity. That said, at hog roast Elmswell we do offer an amazingly good value for money, and I think it helps that you can really see what you’re getting – you can’t miss a whole rare breed hog roasting on the spit, after all. While we’re perfectly at home with fine dining, and can happily carry out any variety of catering requirement, we’re getting a lot of requests for big simple affairs at the moment at hog roast Elmswell – the classic hot roast pork sandwich, the good old pig in a bun that made us famous. Of course, there’s the seasonal twist, too – a nice piece of turkey fills out a freshly baked roll just as well as the more common slab of tender pork. I think it’s a sign of the times – while everybody’s thinking about cutting back, the fancy embellishments go out of the window and people reach out for the comfortable certainties of roast meat in an easy to handle format. It must be said it’s also the ideal party food – something substantial to soak up all the alcohol that gets consumed at this time of year, but the fact you can hold it in your hand means you still get a chance to circulate and make the most of the opportunity for catching up and gossiping, and of course you need to keep one hand free for that all important drink… Generally speaking, I’m a big fan of making the most of the short window of opportunity to consume eggnog, but I must admit it’s not the best match with a nice savoury hot pork bap. Unless you’ve already had a few and you’re not in too much of a state to judge, that is. The popular choice of tipple for consuming with pork here at hog roast hire Elmswell is a nice cider, but a hot pork sandwich (or a hot turkey sandwich, for that matter) is a versatile thing, and goes equally well with ale as it does with red wine, white wine – champagne, even. Just nothing too sweet, in my opinion – save it for afterwards.
