Some may view catering as just getting food down on a table and leaving guests to it, but in our opinion here at Hog Roast Woking that is not the true function that event catering should be providing. Sure, that could be the bare minimum required of a caterer, but of course any caterer that knows their worth will know that they have to be doing so much more than that.
It’s the argument for why it is better to go for a dedicated caterer for your event rather than using your venues in-house kitchen. Your caterer is freed up to do so much more with the dining experience than an in-house staff as we can look to think outside of the box and try and provide more alternative styles of dining and service to add even more to your day. An in-house kitchen may also have other customers to attend to if they have a usual restaurant, or the kitchen team may not quite be as used to the large-scale demands that event dining requires, and thus don’t have the room to deviate and add more unique services and menus to your special occasion. On the other hand, a dedicated caterer has the skills and experience to pull of some really magnificent stuff for events. Speaking for ourselves here at Hog Roast Woking, we can set up our roasts in a variety of ways, or even in different spots for different effects to add more to your event. For example, when the weather is nice we can pivot to setting up our roast outside for all guests to be able to get the full effect of the authentic and traditional hog roasting experience, its fiery brilliance and smoky aromas having room to run as your roast sizzles away under the lovely sunny weather.
A caterer like Hog Roast Woking is never going to give you the bare minimum. Our goal is to create an overall special experience for your event through our dining, so we are going to search the bounds of dining and service to do so to the fullest that we possibly can.
