The air was crisp and cool last week when Hog Roast Aslockton set up shop at the local Christmas Market, creating an unforgettable experience for all who attended. The decision to participate was a no-brainer for us, and after securing a space with the organisers, we were eager to bring the warmth of our hog roast to the festive atmosphere.
Our catering managers, Darren and Claire, who are committed to delivering perfection, arrived at the venue before the sun had fully risen. In the quiet pre-dawn hours, they began the meticulous process of preparing the star of the show – the pig. With precision, they scored the skin, rubbed it down with salt, and doused it with water before hoisting it onto the spit-roast to slow-cook for several hours. As the meat cooked, filling their air with the satisfying sounds of sizzling and spitting, the skin took on a gorgeous golden glow. As for the smell, no one could miss the enticing aroma that wafted through the market!
As the hog roast worked its magic, Darren and Claire turned their attention to the rest of the menu – sage and onion stuffing, applesauce, and vegan-friendly BBQ-pulled jackfruit rolls. The anticipation began to build as the market around us came alive – stalls being set up, an ice-rink unveiled, and the sounds of fairground rides adding to the festive buzz.
When the guests arrived in the early afternoon, they were immediately captivated by the lively atmosphere and the tantalising aromas emanating from our stall. The queue to Hog Roast Aslockton remained bustling throughout the day, a testament to the crowd’s excitement for our delectable offerings. Despite the steady stream of customers, Darren and Claire worked tirelessly to ensure everyone was served promptly.
The response was overwhelmingly positive, with guests singing praises for our food. By the time the market closed, our dishes had been devoured, not a single scrap remaining. Hog Roast Aslockton had left a lasting impression, turning a chilly winter day into a sizzling success, and proving once again that our commitment to perfection is as hearty as our hog roasts.
