Sporting events are made even more enjoyable when accompanied by delicious food. Whether you are a participant or a spectator, enjoying a great meal is an easy way to elevate the atmosphere and please a crowd. This is true when it comes to sailing, as Hog Roast Blagdon saw on day one of the Blaze Nationals at Paignton Sailing Club.
To celebrate day 1 of the Blaze Nationals, we were asked by Venessa to provide our classic hog roast menu to 120 guests. The event was sponsored by Hartley Boats and Allen Sailing, which enabled the sailing club to host an event with our delicious catering! The Blaze Nationals are an amazing set of races that take place in Paignton among other sailing clubs. It is always well anticipated and sparks friendly competition with fellow sailing clubs. So to commemorate the beginning of another year, Hog Roast Blagdon provided a delicious meal to the sailors and spectators.
Our Hog Roast Blagdon manager Rik was eager to provide our classic hog roast menu since it is always a crowd favourite! It is one of our more simplistic menus but is still packed full of incredible flavour. On the day of the event, we arrived in the early afternoon to ensure that our pig would be perfectly slow-roasting by 19:30. Every pig takes a different length of time to cook, but the average cook time is around 6 hours. Whilst this was roasting, we prepared our meat-free options: grilled vegetable and halloumi skewers or BBQ pulled jackfruit. All of our main courses were served with mixed salad and homemade coleslaw, as well as a selection of fresh bread rolls and wraps.
At 19:30 it was time to serve our delicious menu, which went down a treat with the guests. There was a dish for everyone to enjoy and the inclusion of meat-free and gluten-free options made it appealing to all.
