Turning 70 is a milestone worth celebrating in style, and that’s exactly what one gentleman in St Dennis, Cornwall did this August. Surrounded by family, friends, and plenty of sunshine, his garden was transformed into the perfect party setting. And at the heart of the celebration? A mouth-watering hog roast feast from Spitting Pig Cornwall, led by Catering Manager Paul and his team.
The centrepiece of the menu was a whole roasted pig, cooked slowly until the meat was tender and the crackling perfectly golden. Served with classic accompaniments of sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, this main 
attraction was a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Guests were invited to build their own plates with a choice of soft bread rolls and wraps, including gluten-free options, and to help themselves to a delicious spread of sides. Fresh tomato and mozzarella salad, crisp mixed salad, creamy coleslaw, and roasted baby new potatoes made for a colourful and satisfying table.
For those preferring a plant-based option, Paul’s team served their ever-popular vegan pulled jackfruit – rich, smoky, and drenched in tangy hickory BBQ sauce, served in soft buns with crunchy slaw. As always, the vegetarian and vegan guests were well looked after, making sure no one missed out on the feast.
The catering team received glowing feedback from both the hosts and their guests. As the birthday celebrant’s wife put it: “My husband’s 70th birthday in our garden was a great day for our family and friends with sunshine, and without doubt the pièce de résistance was your amazing hog roast, together with roasties and salads. We received many accolades concerning the food and will certainly recommend Spitting Pig – and would certainly use your services again.” She also made special mention of how friendly and accommodating the staff were on the day, ensuring everything ran smoothly and guests felt truly looked after.
From the first serving to the last slice of crackling, this 70th birthday was full of laughter, great company, and unforgettable food. For Paul and the Hog Roast St Dennis team, it was a joy to be part of such a special family milestone in the heart of Cornwall.
