December has arrived, and here at Hog Roast New Longton, we’ve hit the ground running in true festive style! The season of joy and indulgence is our favourite time of year, and we’ve been busy travelling across Lancashire, sprinkling Christmas cheer wherever we go. Most recently, we had the pleasure of catering for an epic office Christmas party thrown by Simon, a top-notch boss who pulled out all the stops for his 50 hardworking staff.
Everyone knows office Christmas parties are a cornerstone of holiday tradition – a time for colleagues to relax, bond, and share a laugh (or several) over karaoke and Secret Santa shenanigans. Simon knew just how to set the tone for a fantastic evening, and we knew just how to feed the party spirit. Sophie, our brilliant catering manager, led the charge, curating a festive feast guaranteed to delight.
The star of the show was, of course, our Festive Menu, designed to be the ultimate winter warmer. Guests swooned at the sight of our beautifully golden hog roast, complete with crispy crackling, stuffing, and tangy applesauce. But we didn’t stop there! Hog Roast New Longton paired this dramatic centrepiece with creamy cauliflower cheese, crispy roast potatoes, a vibrant medley of glazed seasonal vegetables, and the undisputed champion of Christmas sides: pigs in blankets. A generous pour of homemade gravy tied it all together, transforming plates into pure magic.
The festive flavours were complemented by glasses of our signature mulled wine – or as we like to call them, “merriment makers” – which fueled the evening’s antics. Laughter echoed through the room as Simon’s party games brought everyone together, and the karaoke mic saw a few surprise stars emerge (and a few hilarious fails too!).
As the party wound down, Hog Roast New Longton served up our homemade mince pies topped with warm brandy cream – a sweet finale to a perfect meal. Our team worked hard to ensure everything went off without a hitch, and the guests’ smiles made it all worthwhile. Simon’s glowing thank-you to Sophie and the team has left us beaming as we gear up for our next adventure.
Here’s to more delicious meals, unforgettable parties, and spreading joy this holiday season!
