I think we can all agree that birthdays are that much better when there’s great food involved. But as plenty of hosts discover the hard way, finding a menu that actually works for everyone is easier said than done – and the longer the guest list gets, the more impossible it can start to feel.
Whether you’re a meat lover after something properly juicy, or a vegan keen to try something new, good catering should have a bit of everything for everyone. But not every caterer plays fair on this. Some charge a small fortune just to bolt on one sad meat-free option, while others don’t bother offering anything at all, leaving you to bring in a second caterer just to cover the gaps.
Thankfully, that’s never a problem you’ll run into with Hog Roast Henley-on-Thames. Our team genuinely loves crafting flavour-packed dishes across every diet, which means alongside serving some of the best hog roasts in the region, we also offer a full range of meat dishes plus equally tasty vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, so nobody on your guest list gets left out.
Our whole aim is making the catering the easiest part of planning your event, and if you ask us, we’ve got pretty good at that over the years. Recently, we helped a client plan their mum’s 80th birthday, and with 50 guests to feed, they admitted feeling a bit out of their depth at first. But they didn’t feel that way for long. Once Hog Roast Henley-on-Thames stepped in, we quickly put together a menu that genuinely worked for the whole room.
A hog roast sat at the centre of it all, complete with crackling, stuffing and applesauce, with juicy butcher’s sausages alongside to ensure our meat-loving friends were spoiled for choice. Meanwhile, colourful grilled vegetable and halloumi kebabs, finished with sweet chilli sauce and served with tzatziki and flatbreads, meant vegetarian guests felt just as looked after.
Rounding it all off, Hog Roast Henley-on-Thames brought out a proper lineup of sides, including fresh tomato and mozzarella salad, mixed salad, coleslaw and a mix of sweet potato and classic fries, with sauces and dressings on hand for guests to help themselves.
The food went down brilliantly, just as we knew it would, and it lifted the whole atmosphere of the day – so if you’re planning something similar, you know exactly where to find us.
