For a great way to bring friends and family together, all the while showing off your party-organising skills, throw a bash and get us along to cook a jolly good hog roast for you. Make a meal of it (hoho), maybe make it into a fundraiser for your chosen charity, and invite the local paper along to cover your story. The more people know about it, the better for you. And we can help make your life easier with all our entertainment suggestions- just have a look on our website. For a hog roast to remember, and to help you become a gamesmaker, get in touch with Big Roast. You know it’s the right thing to do.

Whatever your needs, whoever you’re inviting to your hog or lamb roast party, hog roast Streatham can help you decide the best canapé combo for you and your guests. Trust us, when they arrive gagging for something to nibble on, they’ll definitely appreciate the effort you’ve gone to, to help make sure they don’t pass out before the main course.

Balloon modelling: We can proudly say that we’ve found, and formed a loving partnership with, Andrew Smith, the greatest balloon modeller on the planet. A bold statement, you may say, but once you’ve seen what this man can sculpt (cartoon characters, any vehicle you can think of, even does caricatures of your guests), then you’ll hold the same opinion. He’s officially there for the kids, but adults will also find his talents irresistible.

Karaoke/music: We can bring along a great portable amp system, into which any iPod or MP3 player can be plugged, thus belting out your favourite tunes. The karaoke microphone is particularly entertaining once a few drinks have been served (we cannot be responsible for any terrible song renditions).

If you’d like any more information on how we can help your hog roast Kent really get off the ground and give you a night (or day) to remember, please get in touch and one of our team will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

Eat It (‘Weird Al’ Yankovic)- A parody of the Michael Jackson classic ‘Beat It’, except this time, the lyrics are adapted to be more suitable for dining situations. Certainly one to get everyone chuckling along/appetites raging.

Food Glorious Food (Oliver soundtrack)- Everyone loves a musical (apart from Jonny in the office, he’s too cool), and literally everyone in the world (again, apart from Jonny) knows at least a couple of lyrics from this renowned tune, all about being hungry. Which hopefully your guests will be.

Yummy Yummy Yummy (Ohio Express): ‘Yummy yummy yummy, I’ve got love in my tummy…’ warble the beautiful voices of Ohio Express, making us feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. Hopefully you will too, after you and your guests have tried our delicious canapés, meat and desserts.

If you’ve got impeccable musical tastes, and would like to let us at hog roast Kensington any songs that you would like to see added to this list/celebrated in one of our blogs, please do get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you!

The Medulla Oblongata: This little fellow (as we affectionately like to refer to it) helps control autonomic body function, such as digestion. This means that we can simply sit back and enjoy our tasty hog roast/apple sauce without worrying a jot about what’s going on in our tummies.

The Cerebellum: If you’re wondering what controls posture, balance and coordination of movement, look no further that the Cerebellum. Without it, we’d have real trouble reaching for the ketchup, whilst at the same time keeping our salad on the plate. An important point, we’re sure you’ll agree.

The Hypothalamus: The hard-working Hypothalamus has a lot to do, including regulating our hunger and thirst. Jolly useful, if you’re going to be able to eat as much hog as possible without bursting…or maybe just enjoying in moderation.

- When divided up and ready to cook, the humble piggy gives us lots of different cuts of meat, with something to suit everyone’s tastes. You may have sampled rips, loin, or belly- but one of the Brazilian national dishes, Feijoada, is prepared with the feet, ears and tail. Delicious.

- Pork is a forbidden meat is both Islam and Judaism, both for different reasons. In Judaism, followers are only permitted to ingest the meat of an animal that has both cloven hooves, and ‘brings up its cud’.

- If not cooked immediately, pork can be cured instead, which is how various speciality hams and sausages are produced. Originally created to keep meat suitable for consumption without the aid of refrigeration, the salt used in the process now creates the flavours that so many people enjoy.

- The pig, being one of the earliest animals to be domesticated (around 5000 BC), was used, in the olden days, for many things as well as for meat. Its hide was crafted into shoes, its bones for tools, and its hair for brush bristles.

- Pork was traditionally eaten in the autumn, as the pigs themselves then has time to grow during the spring, and fatten during the summer. Of course, we can cater for your hog roast London event all year round.

- Although generally considered to be a white meat, pork is grouped with red meat in nutritional studies. With the fat trimmed, the meat is leaner than most other domesticated animals.

Prior to the main event of the evening- which was, as is tradition at the carnival, a procession in which children and adults alike donned their best fancy dress creations and pounded the streets showing off their outfits- the crowds enjoyed market stalls selling handmade crafts, a parade of classic cars, and a hog roast, which was munched down by many a hungry person.

Of course, we all know that autumn can be something of anti-climax after the excitement and holidays that come in the summer months. It gets colder, and the temptation is to tuck yourself inside and hide away from the elements- don’t be tempted, say we. Why not organise a great hog roast London event, or indeed anywhere in the country, and beat the blues with some tasty meats and our delicious salads/desserts. Get in touch with hog roast London today- we look forward to hearing from you!

A recent fundraiser in Colley Gate, West Midlands, saw punters enjoying lovely weather, and the experience of seeing their meat cooked fresh on a spit, all the while raising money for Acorns Children’s Hospice, which helps thousands of young people with life-threatening illnesses. Organiser Barbara Price, who has supported the hospice since the death of her cousin’s son, said “We are over the moon and grateful to everyone who turned up. It was a lot of hard work, but we really enjoyed it”.

If, like Barbara, you have a charity or cause that is close to your heart, you may also be looking for a way in which to raise money and awareness of your chosen association, whilst giving people the opportunity to have a lovely time.
