We like to run fairly rustic here at Hog Roast Treddiog, but even we can get in the mood for the luxurious high life now and again, especially when it comes to our corporate catering where we always seek to right by our clients, some of which come from the biggest brands in the world.
So, when we get a call requesting a canape service for a gala evening from one of said corporate clients, we’re more than happy to put on our black-tie uniforms, load up on fresh produce, and get out there!
This past week saw the Hog Roast Treddiog team helping out a corporate client with their own gala evening which was to include drinks and canapes, some musical entertainment, and an auction for charity. Guests arrived in their most luxurious dresses and smart suits, so we were glad that we had put our most luxurious and best with our canapes, too, to greet them all. Knowing that our team would also be responsible for serving out wine (provided by another supplier), our chefs tried to pair down the menu for some of the wines. This meant that rather than our mini pizzas or quiches, we want for more appropriate tastes such as our mini pan seared fillets of beef, our roasted tomato and halloumi crostini’s, beer battered “fish and chips”, roasted duck prepared as spring rolls, chicken liver parfait, small veg skewers, and Scottish smoked salmon cracked with black pepper and sprinkled with lemon to be served on fresh brown bread.
Our Hog Roast Treddiog servers are some of the best in the industry and did an excellent job rotating through the room, dishing out canapes as they went and refilling glasses. Our chefs meanwhile stayed busy in the back preparing each canape fresh so that every single platter that came out to the floor was freshly made and of the same high quality as the last. With no formal dinner for the evening, we knew we needed to keep the canapes going in their dozens.
It ended up being a lovely and classy evening which we massively enjoyed, and believe our client did too!
