At Christmas we’ll often say the calories don’t count. Between the Christmas dinner, the leftovers through Boxing Day, the candy canes, the masses of chocolate, the mince pies, we truly have to believe that because there is just too much food goodness on show during the Christmas holidays.
One team that really might mean it is the staff team of Gym 7R – The Training Club | CrossFit Woolwich, who Hog Roast London had the pleasure of catering for during their Christmas party this month. For one night only the 75 staff swapped the squats for the pork roasts, the dumbbells for the pigs in blankets, as Jason and the Hog Roast London team treated them all to our very special Winter Warmer menu to enjoy for their company Christmas party.
We can call it bulking season for the Gym 7R team, because this menu was vast and consisted of some truly delicious and fatty delights. Take our signature pork roast, which cooks atop our famed spit as one whole pig before then being carved up excellently for roast that is just as crisp as it is tender and juicy. For added crispiness, our golden crackling does the trick served along with sage and onion stuffing, and fresh apple sauce. For a vegan alternative, our BBQ pulled jackfruit comes looking and tasting just like the real deal. Both could be enjoyed with our Yorkshire puddings, perfect for pooling all your rich homemade gravy into, only to spill out onto the pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, seasonal glazed veggies, and cauliflower cheese. For a dessert, it had to be our Christmas chocolate yule log, served with fresh cream and guaranteed to put a topper to an incredible night. We reckon even the Gym 7R team were willing to forget their fitness goals on this night, once presented with such a delicious and almighty feast!
The whole Hog Roast London team had an excellent time joining the Gym 7R team for their Christmas party. You were all so wonderful to cook for, and we wish you all the best for the well-deserved Christmas holidays to come!
