Named after the scenic town in which it is located, Aberdour Hotel is a charming, family-run establishment that is known for its rich history and visually stunning architecture which attracts guests from all over the world. With the budget-friendly hotel bustling with tourists all-year-round, owner Amanda and her hard-working team of staff needed some TLC, and knowing that there’s no better opportunity to let loose than the annual Christmas party, she decided to enlist in the help of Hog Roast Lockerbie to make the highly-anticipated event even more spectacular for the 80 people who were expected to attend.
Taking the lead on the Xmas do, our lively catering manager, John recommended our classic hog roast menu which provides an informal experience while delivering an exceptional feast of traditional hog roast flavours, along with an additional vegetarian and vegan-friendly alternatives. Amanda was so pleased that in barely any time at all, Hog Roast Lockerbie had successfully come up with the perfect menu to suit her needs, and that we had even managed to cater for those of her guests who had dietary requirements restricting them from the meat options.
With the typical winter weather making it impossible to serve the feast outside, Hog Roast Lockerbie was invited to set up the catering equipment in one of the hotel’s spacious function rooms. Striving to meet the serving time of 8pm, the team worked tirelessly to prepare the whole pig which had been rubbed down with salt and evenly scored to create a layer of crispy crackling that our clients always look forward to. As well as the meaty main, the catering crew used a selection of freshly cut vegetables and haloumi chunks to create the grilled veggie skewers which were served up with flatbreads and tzatziki dip.
By the time the staff had arrived to celebrate, the meat was tender and ready to be served; and almost driven wild by the tantalising scents, they eagerly filled their plates with a little bit of everything on the menu. Amanda has since reached out to thank Hog Roast Lockerbie once again for the excellent service and outstanding food which she has since recommended to others.
