It’s not often you get to cater for one of Britain’s most recognisable TV personalities, so when our team at Hog Roast Nuneaton was invited to serve Jeremy Clarkson whilst he hosted an event at Hawkstone brewery, we knew it would be a day to remember.
One of the most rewarding parts of what we do at Hog Roast Nuneaton is connecting with guests through food. Every event brings its own individual and exciting energy – but when the host is Jeremy Clarkson, there’s a real sense of occasion. It was a privilege to be part of a gathering that blended the delightful company of 150 guests with a summery yet undeniably hearty meal.
The atmosphere was vibrant and full of character. The sun was shining, warming the air, and the guests were enjoying cold pints from the brewery – just as we were gearing up the grub to serve some “Top Grills” to a top-notch event! Behind us, a striking spray-painted mural of Clarkson and one of his sons that acted as the perfect backdrop to our canopy setup and added an incredible charm and uniqueness to the venue. Alongside this, the variety of wooden elements and natural features created a rustic, woodland feel, a truly beautiful place!
Clarkson may have been the star appearance that afternoon… but our signature slow cooked hog roast with a perfectly crisp crackling, was some fiery competition. And that’s not all on the day’s menu! Our something for everyone grilled vegetable and halloumi skewers were a perfect vegetarian addition and could be paired with our seasonal leafy green salad and coleslaw brought together with a soft white or seeded bread rolls or even a fresh wrap to tie all the fillings together.
The guests adored food, and I mean can we blame them? On a day like that, the sun, the fun and the company, Hog Roast Nuneaton brought the right energy to the table.
We must wave a reluctant goodbye to Clarkson and guests, but we hope this isn’t the end of the road for us, we anticipate seeing you all again in the near future!
