University open days are the main way that prospective students make their decision about where to study. At an open day, the university needs to show off its courses and facilities, while also showcasing community spirit and a good support system for the students. One way to create a good environment is by serving a great buffet, and Hog Roast Crossgates has a menu that is ideal for the job!
In preparation for prospective students applying to university over Christmas, Hog Roast Crossgates was hired to provide catering for a university open day in Wales. The event was being hosted as a way to show off the university’s facilities and to give students an opportunity to look around the campus and find out more information about the university experience. To set a friendly atmosphere for the event, Hog Roast Crossgates was hired to serve a delicious buffet on campus, giving guests a tasty lunch to enjoy while on their tour. After looking through our menus, our catering manager Brad was hired to serve a classic hog roast at the event.
On the day of the open day, the Hog Roast Crossgates team arrived on campus in the morning, giving us more than enough time to roast the hog. We began by ensuring that the pork was cooked to perfection and packed full of natural juices and flavours, before it was expertly carved by our chef and served in fresh bread rolls, alongside sage and onion stuffing, homemade applesauce, and crispy crackling. As well as pork, we also served BBQ pulled jackfruit, as this is a great meat alternative. The rolls were served with homemade chips and seasonal salad dishes to create a varied and tasty lunch. Our catering was a great addition to the open day and went down a treat with the guests and students!
Whatever kind of catering you require, Hog Roast Crossgates has a menu that is ideal for the occasion. To book in today, simply let us know your party size, date, and location and we can do the rest.
