Great Food Brings People Together: Catering for Every Occasion

September often feels like a natural point to get plans back on track. The summer holidays are over, routines are returning and diaries are beginning to fill up with birthdays, weddings, corporate gatherings and celebrations taking place over the months ahead.

Whatever you are planning, one thing can make a huge difference to the experience your guests have: great food.

At Acorn Hog Roast, we provide mobile catering for events of all shapes and sizes across the North East, helping hosts create memorable occasions without having to worry about feeding everyone themselves. From relaxed family celebrations to large events, our catering can be tailored to suit the occasion.

Catering That Becomes Part of the Event

Food is much more than something to tick off your event planning checklist. Done well, it becomes part of the experience.

A traditional hog roast is particularly good at creating a focal point. The sight and aroma of freshly prepared food adds to the atmosphere, while the relaxed serving style encourages guests to gather, chat and enjoy themselves.

Our hog roasts are slowly cooked for around eight hours in purpose-built ovens, creating tender pork and crispy crackling. Served with favourites including apple sauce and sage and onion stuffing, with a choice of a traditional North East stottie or floured roll, it is hearty food designed to satisfy your guests.

Perfect for Events Big and Small

You do not need to be planning an enormous event to bring in professional caterers.

At Acorn Hog Roast, we cater for occasions of different sizes, including weddings, birthdays, christenings, anniversaries, corporate events, sporting events, outdoor shows and family gatherings. Our mobile approach means we can cater for both indoor and outdoor events, giving you greater flexibility when choosing your venue.

Perhaps you are organising a milestone birthday and want to spend the evening with your guests rather than worrying about the kitchen. Maybe you are arranging a company event and want something more memorable than the usual buffet. Or you might be putting the finishing touches to your wedding and looking for a relaxed catering option everyone can enjoy.

Whatever the occasion, good catering gives you one less thing to think about.

Something for Everyone

When you are bringing a large group of people together, dietary requirements are always an important consideration.

Although hog roasts are our speciality, we also offer gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options, helping you make sure everyone attending your event has something delicious to enjoy. We can also provide a selection of mains, sides and desserts depending on the catering package you choose.

It is all part of creating a catering experience that works around your event rather than expecting your event to work around the food.
