Hog Roast Chertsey had the pleasure of catering a remarkable black tie military graduation event at the prestigious Botleys Mansion in Lyne. The venue offered a grand setting for an evening that celebrated dedication and achievement. Roy and James led the catering team and they made sure every detail felt worthy of the occasion.
As guests stepped into the mansion they were welcomed by the aroma of slow roasted pork that had been cooking to perfection. The star of the menu had been a whole roasted pig with golden crackling that caught every eye the moment the buffet opened at seven thirty. Tender slices of pork had been paired with apple sauce and sage and onion stuffing which created a classic and comforting combination. Guests helped themselves to a selection of bread rolls and wraps with gluten free options ready when needed so no one felt left out.
Hog Roast Chertsey also made sure guests following vegetarian or vegan diets had something that suited their tastes. The chefs prepared colourful grilled vegetable and halloumi skewers served with warm wraps plus a cool tzatziki dip and a lively sweet chilli sauce. Alongside this option guests could choose the popular vegan pulled jackfruit that had been steeped in a rich hickory barbecue sauce then served in a soft bun. Both choices stood out nicely on the buffet table and added variety to the evening’s feast.
To complete the menu the team served traditional fries mixed with sweet potato fries which kept everyone returning for seconds. Everything had been presented on wooden bamboo crockery with matching cutlery which fitted seamlessly with the sophisticated theme of the event.
Throughout the night the atmosphere had been relaxed and proud. Families and friends came together to celebrate the achievements of the new graduates and the elegant backdrop of Botleys Mansion added warmth to every moment. The Hog Roast Chertsey team kept the buffet running smoothly and made sure the service area looked fresh until the final guest had eaten.
By the end of the evening the team left knowing they had played a part in a milestone celebration. The combination of a beautiful venue attentive service and a generous feast made this a memorable event for everyone who attended.
