Hog Roast Beaminster found ourselves amidst a treasure trove of history, surrounded by antique furniture, art, trinkets, and jewellery dating back over a century. The atmosphere was imbued with nostalgia as attendees meandered through the stalls, marvelling at the unique collectables. However, unlike the antique enthusiasts and bargain hunters, we weren’t there to shop around – we were there to satiate appetites!
The organisers of this huge open-air antiques fair had entrusted us with a crucial task: to feed the hungry masses. With a full day of perusing through the stalls and negotiating prices ahead of them, attendees were sure to work up an appetite. And eager to provide them with a delicious lunch to keep them satisfied and engaged, the event planners had enlisted Hog Roast Beaminster’s catering services to serve up our Classic Hog Roast Menu.
Our highly skilled catering manager, Jack, enthusiastically took charge of the operation. He spent the entire morning meticulously preparing our renowned hog roast. After scoring the skin and seasoning the full pig with salt, Jack set it to slow-cook on the rotisserie, ensuring that the meat would be succulent and tender throughout. Meanwhile, he whipped up generous portions of sage and onion stuffing and homemade applesauce, alongside BBQ-pulled jackfruit as a delectable meat-free alternative for vegetarian and vegan attendees.
The turnout at the event was staggering, with scores of people flocking to peruse the ancient treasures or simply enjoy a day out with family. As predicted, hunger soon struck, but to the guests’ delight, Hog Roast Beaminster was ready to serve up a feast! Jack expertly carved the pig, separating the crackling from the tender meat within, and assembled mouth-watering hog roast rolls.
Nestled on gluten-free rolls, the succulent pulled pork, crispy crackling, and flavourful stuffing were topped with a dollop of applesauce, creating a depth of flavour no one could pass up. Guests were captivated by Hog Roast Beaminster’s dramatic presentation of the meal, and the explosion of flavours left them spellbound. The BBQ-pulled jackfruit rolls were equally well-received, earning praise from non-meat-eating guests who appreciated the thoughtful
inclusion.
