Having made the scary choice as a family to take on an entirely new venture in taking over Hog Roast Wallingford and running our own event catering company, sometimes we feel like we are truly living a fairytale life. What a privilege it is to wake each day and do something you love with the people that you care about most, while also serving some of the most wonderful guests you could ever ask for.
Our fairytale feeling only compounded more when we received a very special request from a customer called Joshua. Joshua was excited to tell us all about he and his sister’s joint “Fairytale and Ales” birthday party – and we were equally as excited to hear about it. The idea sounded just brilliant to us; a massive amount of fun with guests encouraged to get into theme by dressing up like characters from a fairytale. Of course, as soon as we heard about the theme it made total sense right away why Joshua would have come to Hog Roast Wallingford. A hog roast experience is a fairytale all of its own!
Not to look out of place at all, our hog roast cooked in the authentic spit style as it always is at Hog Roast Wallingford. It added a tonne to the theme of the party, looking incredible at the heart of the event as though it were a piece of decoration pulled straight from a fairytale. The tastes only added to the magical feel, delivering on an abundance of tender meatiness, crisp texture, and delicious salty flavour. Our tale didn’t end there, however. Fresh sage and onion stuffing, crispy crackling, and apple sauce to go along with our fairytale roast, BBQ pulled vegan jackfruit as a non-meaty alternative, homemade red cabbage slaw, mixed salad, and plenty of gluten free rolls to ensure this dining experience came with its own fairytale ending.
Having heard from our hosts themselves that it was the best hog roast they have ever had, it seems we can definitely come away from this fairytale event knowing everyone lived happily ever after.
