In case you somehow didn’t know, summer is very much here! So much so that the Europe and the south of the UK have been undergoing an intensive heatwave of late. Record temperatures broken, the hottest June on record for some continuing on into July now – it is a hot summer alright.

As an event caterer that can come with certain challenges, but here at Hog Roast York we have taken them all in on stride. Our main concern with any event is just the health and wellbeing of the guests. We want them to be comfortable; our foods are a means of doing so. That means we likely won’t be serving hot soups while the sun is blazing outside, for example. It also means that we a have a duty to ensure that our foods remain unspoiled under the summer heat (as well as our chefs and servers too, of course). Fortunately, we always come armed with our handy serving tent so that all of our foods, chefs, and even guests can stay nice and shaded while they are cooking and dining with us. On particularly hot days we’ll also do our part to ensure guests are staying well hydrated, too. We want the event to be fun, but to be fun it has to at least be safe, too!

Fortunately, all of that sun and heat has not got in the way of us doing our job out at our customer’s wedding this past week. We all want a good bit of sun to come out on our wedding days, but perhaps not to the extent that it has in some places. Still however, the show must go on and Hog Roast York made sure to do our part to keep the bride, groom, and all of the wedding guests as comfortable as possible. It’s fortunate that we already had a refreshing menu planned for the wedding with our al fresco menu and grazing tables. Plenty of salads, light cheese, finely sliced meats, artisanal breads, slaws, etc, all geared toward summer dining, even with the heatwave on!

It was a wonderful day in spite of the weather. Hog Roast York would like to thank the lovely newlyweds for having us out once again!
