Last Sunday was a day of excitement and community spirit as Hog Roast Newquay’s catering team ventured beyond our usual grounds to support a meaningful charity event. Organised to benefit retired working horses and hounds, the event drew families from near and far, promising a day packed with fun and goodwill.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the thrilling equine performances in the main arena by The Light Cavalry, police, horse rangers, and other skilled riders. Their displays mesmerised audiences of all ages, showcasing the grace and power of these magnificent animals. For animal lovers, the petting zoo was a big hit, offering children a chance to interact with adorable creatures while learning about their care and rehabilitation.
Beyond the animal attractions, the event buzzed with live music, games, tractor rides, fire and rescue demonstrations, and even unconventional delights like ferret racing – a quirky favourite among attendees! Retired canines stole hearts as they soaked up the attention, enjoying belly scratches from guests and adding to the day’s heartwarming atmosphere. Visitors were also encouraged to bring their own furry companions, making it a true family affair!
Amidst this lively backdrop, Hog Roast Newquay proudly served up our signature hog roast to hungry crowds. Guests enjoyed sinking their teeth into soft, gluten-free or wholemeal rolls piled high with tender shredded pork, crispy crackling, and our secret sage and onion stuffing, all topped off with a dollop of sweet and tangy applesauce. The aroma alone was enough to make mouths water – and even the dogs seemed impressed!
For Hog Roast Newquay, catering at this event was not just a job but a joyous opportunity to contribute to a great cause. We’re thrilled to report that the event organisers surpassed their fundraising goals, a testament to the generosity and support of the community. Seeing families come together, enjoying good food and entertainment, all while supporting retired animals in need, was truly heartwarming.
As Hog Roast Newquay packed up after a day filled with laughter, delicious aromas, and wagging tails, we couldn’t help but feel proud to have been part of such a paw-some event. Here’s to more moments of furry fun, good eats, and making a meaningful difference together!
