When you’re planning a birthday party for your children, there’s a lot to think about. The guest list can grow quickly, the cake needs to impress, and if there’s a children’s entertainer involved, you know that energy levels will be high from start to finish. But one thing that can really make the day run smoothly? Sorting the food with a team who know exactly what they’re doing.
Enter Hog Roast Nuneaton! Last Sunday, 80 guests gathered at the Ambleside Sports Club. When you think of a kids party, your mind instantly goes to a buffet filled with beige food galore, sausage rolls, crisps, sandwiches and sweets but our guests wanted something a little bit different and that is what we delivered. It was clear that the hosts wanted something that worked just as well for the adults stood around chatting as it would for the kids taking a break in between the entertainment.
The team at Hog Roast Nuneaton were working through the early morning to have a delicious feast ready before the guests began arriving at 12:30pm. Sizzling away on the grill were Thai Chicken Kebabs, sausages and grilled vegetable and halloumi skewers for the non-meat option, ensuring all guests were considered and catered for. Alongside the mains were a range of fresh sides from pasta salad, greek salad and traditional sweet potato fries to a selection of cheese and
crackers, as well as soft bread rolls and wraps. This kind of spread works brilliantly for mixed age celebrations. It gives people options, the kids can keep it simple, adults can build fuller plates, and everyone can go back for seconds between games and cake cutting. Speaking of cake, with a massive birthday cake taking centre stage later in the day, having savoury food that was satisfying but not too heavy was key. The balance worked perfectly.
With 80 guests, a children’s entertainer, and a room full of excited youngsters, the last thing any parent wants is to be tied to the kitchen or worrying about whether there’s enough food. By booking Hog Roast Nuneaton, the catering was completely taken care of. Setup, service and presentation were handled professionally, allowing the family to actually enjoy the party rather than manage it.
Our style of catering worked perfectly for the venue and the event type, everything was served on bamboo crockery and cutlery, which kept things practical for a lively party. People could come back for more, add a light bite in between chats or fill their plate as much as they wanted to. Everything is organised efficiently on-site, making it suitable for sports clubs, community venues and private hire spaces alike.
If you’re organising an event and want catering that’s flexible, with generous portion sizes and professionally handled, it’s worth considering a bespoke hog roast menu. From children’s birthday parties with entertainers and towering cakes to larger gatherings with extended family and friends, Hog Roast Nuneaton offers a straightforward way to feed your guests well without adding to your to do list.
