Hog roasts might have put us on the map, but Hog Roast Truro is more than just a one trick piggy!
We’re delighted to offer diverse and bespoke catering packages for events of all scales, styles and budgets, ensuring each and every guest is treated to a mouth-wateringly tasty meal that they’ll remember long after the last bite.
One of our most-asked-for spreads is the Southern Slow Roast. Inspired by the hearty and wholesome flavours of America’s Deep South, this finger lickin’ banquet is perfect for grill-seekers looking to chow down on something epic. Whether it’s the height of summer or the thick of winter, this menu slots right in, creating a flavour explosion that’ll have your guests talking for all the right reasons.
Hog Roast Truro recently served this menu at a wedding over at The Barn at Pengelly. Tucked away in the heart of the Cornish countryside, surrounded by lakeside views and sprawling hills, this award-winning spot was the perfect place for our clients’ rustic celebration.
The happy couple had decided to keep their celebration smaller, and more intimate, with just 40 guests in attendance. But no matter the size of the guest list, you can always count on our catering manager, Paul, to give it 100%!
Paul and the Hog Roast Truro team spent all afternoon lovingly prepping the meats. Using our secret recipe rubs to tenderise and bring out the natural flavours of the meats, he rustled up a trio of Cajun-spiced whole roast chicken, fall off the bone Louisiana sticky pork ribs and pulled quarter of minted lamb.
By the time the guests were ready to dig in, the meat was so succulent it fell apart at the prod of a fork. We also set out a trio of sauces for those looking for some extra flavour – smoky sweet BBQ glaze, hickory bourbon BBQ sauce and fiery Cajun hot pepper sauce for the bravest diners. We also set out vegan pulled jackfruit buns topped with plant-based coleslaw for non-meat-eating guests, making sure everyone had something delish to eat.
And, of course, it wouldn’t be an American-style feast without some legendary sides. Our mac and cheese, green leaf salad, sausages, roasted new potatoes and mixed sweet potato and classic fries proved an instant hit!
The guests (and the happy couple) were over the moon with the food and service Hog Roast Truro provided and by the end of the night, our chafing dishes were all but licked clean!
