Hog Roast Catering

Hog roasts are good, hog roasts and salads are better, but a hog roast with salads and a giant slab of the chocolate brownie breeze block…. well that just rocks….

Here’s a list of some of my favourite hungry hog roast salads and an idea of what we can put together for dessert to make it a spit roast banquet fit for a king (or queen). 

Salads

  • Bean Salad- Green beans, kidney beans, cannellini beans, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, coriander, feta cheese, a little chilli, red onion, garlic & lime.
  • Pot Salad- Potatoes, mint/rocket, red onions (or spring onion), bit of wholegrain mustard & mayo.

  • Bulgar Wheat Taboulen - Bulgar wheat, cucumber, cherry toms, mint, parsley & either chicken or feta.
  • Club Salad - Roast chicken, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, free range egg and vine tomatoes with ranch dressing. Then choose one of the following to go with it; cous-cous / crunchy leaves / pasta / deli leaves
  • New York Cobb - Roast chicken, crispy bacon, avocado, cherry tomatoes, a sprinkling of stilton and spring onions with a blue cheese dressing. Then choose one of the following to go with it; cous-cous / crunchy leaves / pasta / deli leaves
  • Tuna & White Bean Nicoise - Tuna chunks, free range egg, blanched green beans, black olives, anchovy fillets and cannellini beans. Then chose one of the following to go with it; cous-cous / crunchy leaves / pasta / deli leaves.

Or

If you're feeling brave try the giant chocolate brownie breeze block!!! A slab of chocolate brownie as big as you can carry. We can even personalise it for a small fee.....

As a bit of fun we can supply a piping bag filled with royal icing so that your guests can sign the brownie before you eat it

If you're not a chocolate freak like me we do 'slabs' of lemon slice and almond slice. Just as big but not as messy!
