There’s no feeling quite like getting the keys to your new home. After months of stress – endless paperwork, conversations with lawyers, and the all-important house viewings – everything melts away in one blissful moment: the final transaction. And as soon as you’re in, the first instinct is to show off your new place to the people you love most! Cue the housewarming party.
Dating back to medieval times, this tradition is the perfect way to mark the beginning of a new chapter in your life. It’s a chance to celebrate with friends and family, to show them around your new home, and to “christen” the space with good vibes and great memories.
This past weekend, Hog Roast Sheffield had the honour of helping Sonia and Elijah celebrate their big milestone. After years of hard work and dedication, they had finally found their dream home – and within their budget! To celebrate, they invited 40 of their closest friends and family over for a laid-back evening of fun, food, and a tour of their new digs.
Now, after the whirlwind of moving, Sonia and Elijah understandably didn’t want to take on the stress of cooking for a crowd. That’s when they turned to Hog Roast Sheffield for help, and our amazing catering duo, Chris and Kayleigh, were more than ready to deliver!
For hours, they prepared a mouthwatering hog roast that stole the show. The slow-roasting pig, turning golden and crispy over the flames, was a true spectacle. The delicious aromas filled the air, and guests couldn’t resist coming over for a closer look. Once it was ready, Chris and Kayleigh served the succulent pulled meat, crackling, stuffing, and applesauce on gluten-free buns. For the plant-based guests, we had BBQ-pulled jackfruit rolls with a tasty plant-based coleslaw – a delicious option that didn’t compromise on flavour.
As if the food wasn’t enough, the weather was absolutely perfect, allowing the guests to explore Sonia and Elijah’s beautiful garden. The relaxed atmosphere was enhanced by everyone nibbling on their sandwiches and sides. Mixed fries and refreshing salads added the perfect touch to the meal.
Everyone was delighted with the service Hog Roast Sheffield delivered and Sonia and Elijah couldn’t have pictured a better start in their new home.
