Alternative to a Hog Roast – The Carvery Bar
We’ve all been at an event, be it a wedding, fete, or corporate do, where the food provided is a hog roast. Hog roasts have been gaining popularity for the past few years, as they have a certain retro appeal which chimes with both hipsters and those of us who remember them from the first time round. They also make a (somewhat controversial) centrepiece as well as a talking point. Yet their appeal is waning for a number of reasons, and this has led event coordinators everywhere to search for a hog roast alternative for social gatherings.
One option only
A hog roast might suit some of your guests, but it won’t satisfy them all, and usually when the catered food is a hog roast, that is the only option on offer. This can be shortsighted for a number of reasons. First of all, there are religious restrictions on pork that mean some of your guests can’t eat it. Secondly, vegetarianism and veganism are both on the rise, which puts an event planner at further risk of alienating guests not only by neglecting to provide a vegetarian option but also by installing a rotating animal carcass as the event’s centrepiece.
5-a-day?
Today’s society is better educated about nutrition than ever, and so you will find that vegetable sides are almost universally appreciated amongst party goers. Not only that, but vegetables round out a plate and perfectly complement meat mains to make for an overall satisfying meal. Of course, vegetarians and vegans will thank you for providing for them also.
Back of the queue
Another way in which hog roasts can leave guests feeling shortchanged is that some will get a much nicer cut of pork than others, depending on how quickly they muscle their way to the front of the queue when it’s announced that the food is ready. This is not the nicest atmosphere to foster at a supposedly fun event, where guests should feel carefree and sociable.
A smarter & tastier option
A solution to this would be to pass by on the hog roast and instead opt for a carvery bar. Our menu allows you the choice of mouth watering hand carved beef, Pork sausages or roast turkey, along with delicious vegetable sides like roasted vegetables & roast potatoes with gravy. To top it off there are two sumptuous desserts on offer; New York cheesecake or chocolate fudge cake.
Diversity like this in a menu lets you cater to all of your guests’ needs, and the set-up of a carvery bar allows for mingling and chatting between guests as they fill their plates. In this unique way, a carvery bar adds to the atmosphere at any type of event, from weddings to fetes to corporate events, such as team building days.

I used KK Catering for a company event at Cottage Delight on the 18th July and I hired the pizza van with Terry and Mike.I can honestly say they were the nicest people I could have asked for to cater for our event. They were polite and … More professional at all times and had a great friendly manner about them. Nothing we asked was too much trouble and the whole day was a massive success.I would absolutely recommend these guys to anyone planning an event and when we plan an event again I will definitely be booking them in future.Top marks from us!!

Have used KK CATERING many times for friends weddings and company events and I would highly recommend anyone who's looking for van catering, they are very professional and very hygienic, the staff are extremely friendly and know exactly … More what they are doing, I would highly recommend everyone to use this company. Honestly don't listen to the bad reviews as they don't have a clue what they are talking about, I have no doubt they released their anger on the company as their staff weren't following their rules. This company deserves 5 stars

Absolutely terrific! Booking and getting an initial quote was easy to do, follow up was generally good (i just had to phone to get my changes sorted, but it was all dealt with very quickly). Terry and Michael turned up in really good time, … More they were helpful through out the evening with many guests saying how good they were and how good the food was. They got fresh hot fish and chips out to 120 very happy people. Excellent!!
