In Ireland, COVID-19 restrictions now allow for groups of vaccinated friends and family to meet indoors or outdoors for social purposes. If every adult is vaccinated, social events can take place on any scale, which is perfect for parties and family reunions. For adults that are not fully vaccinated, the rules are slightly different, although you may still see visitors from one other household. Recently, Hog Roast Bray was asked to cater for a family reunion with vaccinated guests, and here is what we provided…
The news that children and vaccinated adults are allowed to meet up was the news that the Dickson family had been waiting for! It meant that they could finally gather together and host a well-needed family reunion after over a year of lockdowns and social isolation. Throughout this time there had been two new additions to the family, as well as many special birthdays and anniversaries. There was definitely going to be lots to catch up on! To make the most of the celebration, the family hired Hog Roast Bray to provide our delicious Slow-Roasted Pig menu.
The event was taking place in a private field, so our Hog Roast Bray catering team set up the catering station outdoors. This was great since the sun was shining and it was the perfect conditions to be cooking in. We began by slow-roasting the pig, which took approximately 4 hours to evenly cook to perfection. Alongside the pig, we also prepared homemade apple sauce, sage and onion stuffing, seasonal vegetables, and home style chips. The dishes were served with fresh bread rolls and wraps, including a gluten-free option.
Once it was time to eat, the guests lined up at our station to have their meat expertly carved before their eyes. Not only was our food delicious to eat, but it also looked and smelt incredible and was an excellent addition to the reunion.
