When a local rugby club decided to launch their own comedy night, they didn’t know whether it would be a hit or not, so they wanted to make their opening night as appealing as possible to their patrons. A big part of that was getting the food right so they decided they needed outside expert help. Luckily for them they decided we should be that expert help and after a chat with us here at Hog Roast Shepshed they felt reassured that they could leave all aspects of the food preparation in our very capable and experienced hands!
They wanted one of our classic hog roasts to be the star of the show (besides the acts on stage of course!) and also asked us to provide some of our homemade quiches and veggie skewers for the meat-free option, along with seasonal vegetables and buttery new potatoes, all locally sourced and to be freshly made at their venue!
When the day of the comedy night arrived, the Hog Roast Shepshed team go to the rugby club long before showtime because we always allow plenty of time to make everything from scratch at the venue whilst our skilled on-site chef is taking excellent care of our ethically reared pork!
Whilst the hosts made sure everything was in place and the local comedy acts completed their warm-up, we were putting the finishing touches to the enticing spread, ready for the punters to arrive at 7pm. The turnout was much better than our hosts expected, and our serving table was busy before we knew it! No one had to wait for long though and in no time at all the entire room was seated and tucking into our hearty hog roast fare! As the room filled with laughter is was evident to our very relieved hosts that their new comedy night was going down well with their regular and new customers alike, and thanks to the Hog Roast Shepshed team’s premium pork and freshly made buffet, the food was a big hit with everyone as well!
