Nestled in the heart of Norfolk, surrounded by breath-taking views and forests that are rich with wildlife is The Fire Pit, a small family-run campsite with plenty of rustic charm, retro character and cosy gathering spots to go around. If you’ve yet to visit, this place makes for the perfect backdrop for an all-manner of intimate events including boho-chic weddings, corporate outings and, of course, family adventures!
Just last weekend, Hog Roast Coston had the pleasure of visiting this idyllic campground after being asked to whip up one of our delicious menus for a group of 70 people. As the event organiser, Ellie was keen for us to serve an inclusive menu that would appeal to both the adults and the 30 children who were expected to attend the outdoor gathering.
So, with this in mind, our Hog Roast Coston catering manager, Lee suggested our classic hog roast feast with the addition of BBQ 100% handmade beef burgers and juicy sausages in gluten-free rolls with sides of chips for the kids to enjoy. Instead of this, most of the adults were to be treated to a whole slow roasted pig with all the good stuff; including crispy crackling, sweet applesauce, pulled pork and accompaniments of crunchy coleslaw, freshly tossed mixed salad and fries. For everyone else, who were either vegetarians or vegans, an extra option of grilled vegetable skewers with optional chunks of Greek halloumi cheese, tzatziki dip and flatbreads were added to the menu.
The warm summer glow was the perfect start to the event that Hog Roast Coston had been hoping for, and once the catering duo (which consisted of Lee and Brad) had arrived on site, they worked together rapidly to get everything set up and ready ahead of the 6 pm serving time.
As the guests began to arrive, they were greeted by aromatic plumes of white smoke which poured from the sizzling meats and filled the entire camp with hunger-inducing scents! With that, the Hog Roast Coston team began dishing out platefuls of the exquisite feast which had everyone (especially the kids!) rushing back for more!
