If big events aren’t quite your style but you still want to dive into the Oktoberfest fun, why not take a page from Kevin and Laura’s playbook? Instead of heading to a large-scale celebration, the couple decided to bring the Bavarian festivities to their own back garden with an at-home Oktoberfest party, and they knew just who to call for the perfect catering: Hog Roast Darenth! After all, no Oktoberfest celebration is complete without some delicious hog rolls.
When Kevin and Laura reached out for our help, we were thrilled to be part of their event. Our catering manager, Jason, worked closely with them to craft a menu that would satisfy their cravings and make their party unforgettable. On the big day, Jason and the crew arrived at the client’s home, ready to bring our culinary A-game.
Setting up was a breeze. We quickly assembled our catering equipment and gazebo in Kevin and Laura’s beautifully decorated garden. Meanwhile, the hosts were busy adding their own festive touches—bunting, balloons, and blue-and-white tablecloths transformed their backyard into a mini Oktoberfest wonderland. Their garden beer bar was stocked with an impressive selection of refreshing ales, setting the stage for an afternoon of fun.
By the time their 50 guests arrived at 2 pm, Hog Roast Darenth was fully prepped and primed. We carved the hog roast right in front of the guests, adding a touch of theatrical flair to the event. The crackling and succulent pork was served on gluten-free and wholemeal buns with stuffing and applesauce, accompanied by sides of creamy coleslaw, a zesty tomato and mozzarella salad, seasonal mixed greens, and herb-dressed new potatoes.
To enhance the Oktoberfest experience, Laura and Kevin also requested our gourmet sausages. We happily added these to the menu, knowing they’d be a hit. On top of that, the couple had set up a grazing table filled with pretzels and apple strudel—adding a delightful touch of German tradition.
As the afternoon rolled on, guests enjoyed Hog Roast Darenth’s delicious food. Combined with the festive atmosphere created by Kevin and Laura’s decorations and the refreshing ale, it made for an unforgettable celebration.
If you’re thinking about hosting your own Oktoberfest party, remember that you don’t have to go big to go Bavarian. With Hog Roast Darenth by your side, you can create a fun, flavourful, and festive event at home!
