If you’ve been wondering what the Hog Roast Hartlepool team has been getting up to lately, pull up a chair – we’ve got a good story for you. We’ve been itching to share our latest adventure, and trust us, this one was a cracker.
For the second year in a row (because who doesn’t love a good encore?), Hog Roast Hartlepool packed up our gear and headed over to Parkdean Resorts Crimdon Dene Holiday Park. If you’ve ever been, you’ll know it’s perched right on the Durham heritage coastline – gorgeous sea views, crisp ocean air, and that holiday buzz that makes you feel like you’ve escaped reality for a little while.
Once again, we had been invited to cater the annual “end of season” bash for around 150 residents who stay at the park during the warmer months. It’s one of those gatherings everyone looks forward to – lots of laughter, music, and of course, plenty of food. We couldn’t wait to meet everyone and treat them to some delicious food.
Our catering manager, Jon, led the charge, and as usual, he brought the festive cheer with him. The clients had asked us to go all out with our Full Festive Menu, setting the tone with succulent roast turkey slices smothered in cranberry sauce, a little (okay, a lot) of stuffing on the side, and our showpiece – the famous hog roast, complete with that perfect crackling and a spoonful (or two!) of applesauce.
Now, you know Hog Roast Hartlepool aren’t ones to leave anyone out, so we made sure the veggie and vegan guests were spoiled too. They tucked into BBQ pulled jackfruit rolls with plant-based slaw and our ever-popular grilled vegetable and halloumi kebabs – both absolute crowd-pleasers.
To finish things off, the resort’s own team brought out some tasty potato sides and desserts, and let’s just say… not a crumb was left behind.
It was another brilliant evening with our friends at Parkdean Resorts. We laughed, we carved, we served, and we left with full hearts (and empty serving trays). Here’s to next year – we’re already counting down the days!
