At Hog Roast Howden, we take pride in being one of Yorkshire’s most trusted catering providers, bringing delicious and affordable catering to life’s special moments. We know how to add that extra sprinkle of flavour to any event, and recently, we had the joy of helping Liz celebrate her husband Rick’s milestone birthday bash. Turning 60 is no small feat, and Liz wanted to ensure that this celebration was unforgettable for Rick and their 50 closest friends and family.
As the big day approached, Liz was determined to pull off a party that Rick would cherish forever. Luckily, the weather gods smiled upon them, providing a sunny day. But, being the savvy planner she is, Liz also set up a gazebo just in case the skies decided to change their mind. A wise lady indeed! With our own gazebo pitched and ready a few feet away, the stage was set for a fantastic BBQ spread that would leave everyone satisfied.
Our team rolled up their sleeves and got to work preparing a mouth-watering feast. The aroma of handmade British beef burgers, gourmet sausages, and chargrilled chicken kebabs—glistening with tomatoes and peppers—filled the air, drawing guests to the buffet table like moths to a flame. And let’s not forget the sticky spare ribs that had everyone talking—who doesn’t love ribs that just fall off the bone?
Of course, Hog Roast Howden strives to make every guest feel included, so we also had delicious grilled vegetable and halloumi skewers for our vegetarian and vegan friends. Alongside these delights, we served up a huge bowl of pasta salad brimming with roasted veggies and a tangy coleslaw that made for perfect sides. And because no BBQ feast is complete without them, we laid out an army of condiments and dips that encouraged guests to get creative with their meals.
As the food was unveiled, it was clear that guests were more than ready to dig in. They happily filled their plates and returned for extra helpings, making quick work of our tasty offerings until the dishes were nearly empty.
The day was a resounding success! Liz beamed with pride at pulling off an epic party, and Rick, the birthday boy, felt genuinely spoiled by the love and laughter surrounding him. As for Hog Roast Howden, we had a blast doing what we do best—sharing our delicious food with wonderful people!
