Surprise Birthday Party Organization

author — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 21:42:31 +0000

It is always a blast organizing a birthday party, and with a Hog Roast you can ensure that the surprise is in full. Having delicious food at a party is an essential part to making it a success. So, how do you go about planning it? Firstly, make sure that it stays a surprise. When inviting guests make sure that you do it with enough time in advance, but not too much so there isn’t that much time to allow them to actually spill the beans. Then, if you are living with the person that is being surprised, make sure that you do the organization while they are not home or sleeping. Keep all of your paperwork and organizing notes in a place where they won’t find them. All decorations should also be hidden in a spot where they won’t be able to see them.

You can organize the party either at home or somewhere else, but it most likely will be easier to put it together elsewhere as that will give you more time to decorate and organize and you won’t worry about them surprising you instead. Make sure that you also notify the catering company, such as Big Roast, that will be providing the Hog Roast that it will be a surprise birthday party so they don’t make any calls to your home.

African Roast

author — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 20:49:26 +0000

If you want to be original and offer your guests something new and exciting – you can always go with spit or hog roast. But now we offer something more – a non-traditional North African Lamb Roast. This will give you a chance to really impress your guests, because it will introduce them to an African cuisine and at the same time it will be their beloved roast. This roast is called “Mechoi” and is what North Africans call their meat. This is a lamb, roasted to perfection in our traditional spit roast machines. The secret of the delicious African taste is added later with the harissa. This is the authentic paste that is used to drizzle the roasted meat in North Africa. It is very hot and is made of garlic, chillies and North African spices. We have adjusted the taste of the harissa paste, so it fits every taste – we have toned down the hotness a little. The harissa paste is not the only thing that gives you a taste of Africa. We have included three special African salads that will blow your mind as well. Fattoush is our first choice – this is a traditional Lebanese salad. It is made of coriander, parsley, mint, tomatoes and cucumbers and is tossed with some toasted pita bread. Tabbouleh is made of tomatoes, onions, bulgur, mint and parsley. Our third choice is the orange-carrot salad – a very refreshing and original salad for the summer.

Surprise your guests with our North African hog roast this summer.

Check out the hog roast sub page and get familiar with all that we have to offer. You will probably be drawn to our new “Taste of Italy” package. We have been inspired to bring our customers new and exciting flavours this year. We have already introduced you to the new African Combo, and now it is time for the Italian treat. Anyone who has visited Italy knows what “porchetta” means. It means a succulent, delicious slow roasted pork, enriched with fennel and rosemary in a bread bun. This is a traditional street food for Italians. We have taken that and turned it into a sophisticated meat fiesta for you party. We have spiced up the pork loins with fennel, garlic, lemon and rosemary. This brings out the pork flavour with a new and interesting taste. If you want to drizzle your meat with some sauce – we have thought of that too – a rosemary-lemon sauce. Is there anything better than lemon flavoured pork loin? To complement the pork we came up with three traditional Italian salads with an innovative twist. Caprese salad with added spinach, olives and lemon dressing. The Rocket Parmesan salad is a delicious mix of rocket leaves, pine nuts, shaved Parmesan, tossed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. The Pesto Potato salad is mixed with lemon mayo and basil pesto sauce.

The hog roast sub page is where you can find all the pricing for the Italian combos and see what other great deals we offer.

Hire A Catering Company Or Do It Yourself?

Hog roast hire or do it yourself? This question pops up in your head whenever you want to throw a nice party and impress your guests. Here is why it is better to hire a company to throw your party. First of all, not everybody can make a nice roast or BBQ. You have been at parties where you were expecting a nice meal, but instead you got it undercooked or too dry. Hire a company – they are professionals and the meat is going to come out cooked to perfection. You do not have to get messy, get stains on your clothes, sweat near the BBQ, smear your make up, and get BBQ smell all over you. All you have to do is mingle with your guests and have a good time. Second of all, hiring a company will save you a lot of time. The time you would have spent behind the BBQ or organizing the tables and making sure the quests have everything they need like clean plates and silverware could be spend in nice chatter, laughter, dancing and interesting conversations. Not to mention all the time before the party. Hire a company and spend more time on preparing yourself and looking gorgeous! If you hire a company, they can provide all the glass and silverware for you too. They can offer you appetizers, drinks, even entertainment. And the best part is – you are not going to clean after the party.

If you are looking for a hog roast hire – we are the ultimate company for throwing a party – we will roast your meat and then some!
