Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year – so wonderful, in fact, that squeezing all the festivities into a single month often feels like an impossible task. At Hog Roast Howarth, December is always a whirlwind of joyful events and fabulous feasts. But the 2024 holiday season seemed even busier than usual! Our calendar was so overflowing that some of our clients, who had left it a little late to book, had to push their holiday cheer into January.
One such client was the wonderful team at Froch Foods Ltd. These Hog Roast Howarth super-fans have trusted us to cater their Christmas parties for three consecutive years. But this time, their December plans collided with our fully booked calendar. Not wanting to compromise on their favourite festive feast, they decided it was worth the wait. And, trust us, when it comes to our Festive Menu, patience is always rewarded! On January 15th, the long-awaited celebration finally arrived, and Froch Foods reignited the Christmas spirit in style. Meanwhile, Hog Roast Howarth’s talented catering manager, Jon, worked his culinary magic to create a holiday feast that was nothing short of spectacular.
The spread featured succulent turkey paired with homemade sage and onion stuffing, tangy cranberry sauce, and golden, crispy pigs in blankets. Perfectly seasoned garlic and rosemary roasted potatoes, vibrant seasonal vegetables, and the ultimate winter comfort food – creamy, indulgent cauliflower cheese – concluded the festive lineup. And, of course, no holiday feast would be complete without our velvety homemade gravy, expertly tying together every rich, delicious bite.
Vegetarian guests were equally spoiled with our grilled vegetable and halloumi skewers, kissed by real flames and paired with tzatziki, sweet chilli sauce, and fluffy flatbreads. Even meat lovers praised these smoky, flavour-packed treats. The verdict? The Froch Foods team agreed the meal was well worth the wait, showering us with glowing reviews about the freshness and quality of every dish. Honestly, hearing their satisfaction made our January feel like Christmas morning!
