Plan the Perfect BBQ Event – Hog Roasts, Chicken Rotisseries & More

Are you organising a celebratory BBQ or event but don’t want to offer the same boring food menus seen time and time again? It’s a good idea to speak to a BBQ catering company in Lancashire you can trust to deliver quality dishes that will wow your guests.

If you need inspiration, here are some options to help you plan the perfect BBQ event.

Consider a hog roast feast

Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday bash, baby christening party, wedding menu or corporate event, hog roasts go down an absolute storm with guests of all ages. Spit roasts are the ideal way to create a buzz and excitement on the day with food, using a cooking style that ignites all the senses.

From the theatrical visuals of a whole hog roasting over intense heat to the incredible flavours and textures produced, this is a wonderful treat for those looking for an alternative to tried and tested BBQ menus.

BBQ menus to match your theme

BBQ food is highly versatile, so an experienced caterer can choose seasonal produce and beautiful presentations that reflect the theme, style and mood of the day.

For example, a summer garden party in the blistering heat may warrant a live chef station with food cooking over smoke and fire, complemented by zesty slaws and vibrant salads. Or if you’re planning a winter party at an indoor venue, BBQ platters served at banquet tables could be just the thing to warm the soul.

Chicken rotisserie stations

Spit roasts don’t just have to be about whole hogs or lambs slow-roasting over flames. BBQ chicken is one of the most popular options at private parties and celebrations, thanks to its simple yet versatile potential.

Chicken rotisseries are one of the best options to add to your BBQ catering package, cooked evenly in the juices to produce a stunning flavour, perfect crispiness and tender meat. It’s time to ditch the usual dry drumsticks and up your barbecue chicken game.

Plan the best sides and salads

While you can create a memorable feast by getting the balance right when adding spices and marinades to your meat, don’t forget about side dishes. They can make the difference between an average food menu and out-of-this-world barbeque, bringing out the meat’s natural flavours without overpowering the whole plate. As well as fresh bread rolls and tangy sauces, creamy or roast potatoes are always a winner.

You could also consider an array of salads to encourage guests to build their own BBQ plates. For example, offer a Greek salad with tomatoes, feta cheese, red onion and basil, or a pearl barley salad with feta and pomegranate molasses.
