When a member of staff leaves the workplace, it can be a sad and bittersweet moment. Hosting a retirement party is a great way to look back on their hard work and make some great memories before they leave. Hog Roast Cottingham has a selection of menus that are ideal for this purpose, including this delicious buffet…
Earlier in 2023, Hog Roast Cottingham was hired to provide catering for a retirement party taking place this May. The party was being hosted for Joan, who was leaving her care worker job after over 50 years in the role. Joan was a valued and appreciated member of staff and will definitely be missed, so it was no surprise that the rest of her team wanted to host a farewell party. The event was set to take place at a local care facility, allowing staff, patients, and family to join in with the celebrations. For the menu, Hog Roast Cottingham was hired to provide a classic hog roast for the occasion, as well as a drinks service for a toast.
On the day of the event, the Hog Roast Cottingham team arrived at the venue with plenty of time to prepare for the 7pm mealtime. We began by slow-roasting the hog on-site, giving it over 5 hours to cook before it was expertly carved. The sliced pork was served in fresh bread rolls, alongside sage and onion stuffing, homemade applesauce, and crispy crackling. Additionally, we also served succulent pork sausages and tasty veggie sausages to ensure that there was plenty for everyone to enjoy. For the side dishes, we provided homemade chips and a selection of fresh salad dishes to create a balanced and delicious evening buffet. Our menu was a great addition to this event and was the perfect way for Joan to say goodbye to her job.
At Hog Roast Cottingham, we can cater for all kinds of events, with a menu that is ideal for any formality or party size. To book in today, simply let us know your party size, date, and location and we can do the rest.
