If you’re conscious of your environmental footprint, then it’s likely that you’ll have sustainability in mind when it comes to booking caterers. When it comes to eco-friendly catering, hog roasts are surprisingly sustainable — and delicious, too. Therefore, you can have peace of mind that you’ll be enjoying a first-class meal, without waste or risk to the environment.One of the most sustainable aspects of a hog roast is the “nose-to-tail” approach. When a whole hog is slow roasted, nearly every part of the animal is used. The meat is carved and served fresh. Compared to other catering options — where multiple dishes often mean half-eaten portions and waste— hog roasts are a much more efficient way to serve a crowd. Everything is cooked in one place, with little to no food waste left behind. Therefore, you won’t have any guilt.
What’s more Hog Roast Baldoyle machines are designed to be efficient and clean burning. What you may not realise is that they require far less energy than a commercial kitchen running multiple ovens. Plus, since most hog roasts are prepared on-site, there’s less transportation involved for hot food — cutting down on fuel use and emissions. Here at Hog Roast Baldoyle, we offer a buffet-style service which cuts down the need for unnecessary disposables. You can simply opt for hog roast sandwiches, which means no paper plates and plastic cutlery.Since hog roasts are served hot and carved fresh in front of guests, people typically eat what they want — no more, no less. This helps prevent the over-portioning that often leads to food waste at events. And if there are leftovers, it’s easy to package everything up for guests to take home, or you can tuck into hog roast sandwiches the next day. We pride themselves on sourcing locally raised meat. Not only does this support local farmers, but it also means fresher food and fewer preservatives.
