Catering manager Sam once again led the charge for Hog Roast Brighton, achieving victory and earning rave reviews for a flawless service at a Christmas school disco earlier this week. Tasked with catering to the culinary desires of hundreds of teenagers – no small feat – Sam and his team rose to the challenge, creating an inclusive and diverse feast that left no student hungry or dissatisfied.
The school disco, a.k.a. one of the most anticipated events of the academic calendar, required meticulous planning to ensure its success. The organisers had emphasised the importance of inclusivity, which can be a daunting task with a vast and varied teenage audience. However, Hog Roast Brighton, known for embracing challenges, was more than up to the task.
With our meal plans celebrated for their diversity and ability to bring large groups together, Hog Roast Brighton eagerly embraced the challenge, promising a crowd-pleasing Christmas spread that would become the highlight of the evening.
On the day of the party, Sam and the team descended upon the high school, armed with our state-of-the-art catering equipment and fresh ingredients, including locally-sourced free-range turkeys, which they slow-roasted to perfection over real flames until golden brown and irresistibly moist. Once cooked, Sam expertly carved the turkey meat, placing it in chafing dishes to keep warm until serving.
Complementing the traditional Christmas protein, the feast featured cranberry sauce, sage and onion stuffing, cauliflower cheese, pigs in blankets, roasted potatoes, glazed vegetables, and velvety gravy. The vegetarian and vegan guests were not overlooked, and were treated to a hearty meat-free alternative of BBQ-pulled jackfruit rolls with crunchy plant-based coleslaw.
The feast garnered widespread acclaim, concluding with the traditional sweetness of mince pies, paired with indulgent brandy cream. The clients were not only delighted with the delectable spread but also thrilled that the Hog Roast Brighton team left no mess behind, handling cleanup with the same precision and care that characterised the entire evening.
As the disco lights faded, the echoes of satisfied students and organisers lingered, marking another triumph for Hog Roast Brighton in spreading joy through culinary excellence.
