As Summer draws to a close and the cooler months are fast approaching, many people are looking to the future to celebrate when it is safe to do so. There are a variety of solutions to help you celebrate in the Winter whilst keeping warm and adhering to social distancing guidelines. In this blog we are going to provide you with some of our top tips for partying during the colder months.

Keeping Your Guests Warm

Parties and gatherings are about uniting together for food and drink and celebrating with loved ones. However, when it comes to the Autumn/ Winter months keeping your guests warm is essential. There are a many ways you can keep your guests warm, such as a chiminea or a firepit. Chimineas and firepits are perfect for heating up and allowing your guests to stand around the fire keeping themselves warm. You can keep a firepit in your garden and use it all year round, even during the Summer months when you are sat outside on an evening and the temperature drops. Leaving blankets scattered around for guests to wrap themselves up is a thoughtful gesture. There may be some people who feel the cold more than others so having blankets and rugs to hand is key.

As you can’t trust the British weather, putting a gazebo or pagoda up is a safe option as it provides shelter and a place to put food and drinks under if it were rain. Gazebo’s can benefit your party decorations as you can use it to support balloons, lights or bunting.

Patio heaters are a great alternative as they are available in different shapes and sizes as well as the option to be free standing or wall mounted. If you are staying out in the garden late at night a patio heater can be easily turned on, they are available to heat using electricity or fuel like natural gas.

Decorations

Not everyone has outdoor furniture so to help cut costs, utilising products from within your home will save you time, effort and money. You can add a nice tablecloth to the table which will prevent it from getting damaged. If you are throwing a party in Autumn/ Winter, you may want to consider the seasonal flowers that you could use as centre pieces such as branches or ivy and any other decorative accessories you think will suit your theme. To help set the tone, dressing the corners of your house or outside buildings with fairy lights can add a magical touch. Paper lanterns or tealights can also help with creating a warm ambiance.

When you are with loved ones you don’t want to have to worry about cooking food and making sure everything is ready on time. Acorn Hog Roast can provide you and your guests with warming, home cooked party food all night long.

If you are looking to plan a gathering for the months ahead, why not call Acorn Hog Roast and we can provide you and your guests with a delicious home cooked meal, perfect for an outdoor event.

As we look forward to what’s ahead, wedding days are going to be huge and everyone is going to make the most of being around their loved ones! In some cases, it may be difficult to get exactly what you want but, that doesn’t mean your wedding can’t be what you dreamed of! So, in this blog we have outlined some ideas for a DIY Wedding!

• Having photos taken is a great way of being able to look back on memories. So why not have a polaroid camera where your guests can take photos and have them printed out straight away. You could potentially have a scrapbook/ memories book next to the camera for guests to stick them in and leave a comment!
• Chalk boards are a real stand out. Writing instructions on them, table names or seating plan. These are a lovely touch.
• Write guest names on ribbons and tie around napkins. A simple but elegant touch and it means more room for centre pieces.
• For those hot wedding days have your order of service made into a folded-up fan which can be unfolded to view the program.

Your wedding day is about celebrating and enjoying time with loved ones. You don’t need to spend tens of thousands of pounds to have an incredible day!

Here at Acorn Hog Roast we are on hand to help with your wedding catering needs when it is safe to return to a new normal. To get in touch call us on 07513 919166 or visit www.acornhogroast.co.uk

This Spring period has been like no other in recent history and this Summer is set to be impacted just as much. Events across the world have been unable to go ahead due to social distancing measures put in place to protect us all from the spread of Coronavirus. Whilst many events have had to be cancelled completely, if possible it is financially a much less damaging option to find another date for your event to go ahead. Read below to find out some of our top tips for postponing your event.

Transparency

When postponing your event, it is absolutely essential that you remain transparent with your customers and attendees. You should put out an honest statement to people via social media and email. In this statement let people know exactly the reason behind your decision for postponement. This should ensure your brand maintains a good reputation, by making it clear to people that you are putting their safety first.

Making It Easy

If you do decide to postpone your event, you should ensure the whole process is simple for people however they choose to proceed. Make your contact details easily available so that people can get in touch with ease if they have any queries.  You should also ensure refunds are easily accessible for anyone who can’t make a new date. Then for people still wishing to attend, make everyone aware that their existing ticket will be valid. If anyone voices concerns about the inconveniences caused, it is always smart to offer them a discount or vouchers as a sign of you appreciating their cooperation.

Take Measures For Your New Date

Even after we are out the other side of the current world situation, society may be a very different place. Events in the future may be required to put a range of measures in place to ensure maximum hygiene standards. You should order extra hand sanitizing products and other hygiene products to help maintain your attendees’ peace of mind.

At Acorn Hog Roast we are more than happy to cover your catering needs for your rearranged date. To get in touch call us on 07513 919166 or visit www.acornhogroast.co.uk

At just about every event that we ever attend, we are complemented on just how tasty our pulled pork sandwiches are. We take great pride in ensuring we offer catering to keep your guests happy and this meal is a key part of that experience. In this blog we are going to let you in on how exactly we achieve the delicious taste of our pulled pork sandwiches.

Going The Extra Mile
Here at Acorn Hog Roast, we always go the extra mile to ensure our pulled pork is as tasty as possible. That’s why we roast our pigs for 8 hours before every event. This ensures the most tender and succulent meat to create an amazing eating experience. This also creates extra crispy crackling to complement the dish perfectly. We even make sure all our meat used is British and locally sourced by an independent butcher.

Buns
Everyone knows that to achieve the perfect sandwich, you need a good bun too! We can provide a range of fantastic options including white flowered rolls, brown rolls and seeded rolls. We also offer one of the most loved North East dishes, the Stottie Cake! You can find out more about this local delicacy by reading our past blog at bit.ly/3di1Hnx

Sides
We are proud to offer a range of tasty sides that are ideal to enjoy with your pulled pork sandwich. Our sides include homemade apple sauce, homemade stuffing, caramelised onions, salad, roast potatoes, chips and gravy. These sides can transform a quick sandwich into a scrumptious filling meal.

Acorn Hog Roast are on hand to ensure your event can feed guests effectively with a range of amazing catering options. To find out more get in touch by calling us on 07513 919166 or visit www.acornhogroast.co.uk

We were recently delighted to update our menu with some brand-new options and more delicious food than ever! Throughout 2020 we are going to be catering for events throughout the North East, as more people get to enjoy our first-class catering services. Below we let you in on some of our latest menu additions!

Veggie Options

In the modern day it is becoming increasingly popular for people to be conscious about what they eat. Vegetarian diets are a choice for many these days and for that reason, we are proud to have created a special, tasty veggie dish. This meal consists of Halloumi and Vegetable Skewers, served with pitta bread, hummus, salad and balsamic dressing. We also have other vegan and gluten free options available.

Kids Meals

We cater regularly for events where children are present, so it made great sense to include some specific kids meal options on our menu. Our kids menu includes chicken nuggets, sausages and chips. We know that kids can be fussy with food so we have added these choices that we think a vast majority of children will like at least one of. We can also offer other food upon request.

Meal Alternatives

Whilst our hog roast is the most popular meal we serve, we know that a range of catering options is always ideal to keep your guests happy. That’s why we can offer a number of meal alternatives such as cooked breakfast rolls, burgers, hotdogs and much more.
