What a whirlwind of excitement we recently experienced at Hog Roast Garsdale! Our catering managers, Chris and Kayleigh had the absolute honour of attending a party fit for a winner—and not just any winner, but Gedling’s very own MP Michael Payne!
After a trying campaign that saw him rack up over 23,000 votes (47.8% of the vote!), Michael secured his first seat in Parliament, and, naturally, he was keen to celebrate his success in style. What better way to do it than with a garden party for 100 of his closest friends, family, and supporters—and, of course, Hog Roast Garsdale on the catering!
Despite the classic British weather (think drizzly and dreary), the celebration was anything but dampened. With gazebos and garden parasols saving the day, the guests stayed dry and cheerful—and the sight of our delicious hog roast setup certainly helped boost those smiles!
We pulled out all the stops for this one, serving up our iconic hog roast complete with irresistible crackling, perfectly seasoned stuffing, and a tangy applesauce that had guests going wild.
And that wasn’t even half of it! Our side dishes were stars in their own right! We whipped up a gourmet coleslaw with a zesty lemon mayonnaise, a heritage tomato and buffalo mozzarella salad, and a fresh, seasonal mixed salad bordered by thinly sliced cucumbers. Each dish was prepared and presented with precision and flair, making the spread almost too pretty to eat…Almost!
The guests certainly weren’t shy about digging in—plates were piled high, and no one held back! As they tucked into the feast, the compliments started rolling in faster than we could keep up. Everyone loved the balance of flavours, the generous portions, and the vibrant presentation.
As for Michael, he was the perfect host, mingling and chatting while enjoying the feast. He was so impressed that he couldn’t wait to recommend Hog Roast Garsdale to his constituents— we can’t think of a better endorsement than that!
Being part of Michael’s celebration was an absolute delight, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to help him and his guests make unforgettable memories. Here’s to more victories, more parties, and of course, more delicious hog roasts in the future! Cheers to you, Michael Payne!
