At Hog Roast Courtsend, it may seem obvious that our hog roast steals the spotlight. It’s the dish that is in our name, that our events are built around, that customers come from far and wide to enjoy. It is, of course, one of the very best dishes in catering for good reason and we have little reason to stop serving it anytime soon.
But for just a moment we would like to take the spotlight away from the hog roast and instead highlight the simple yet elegant potato. The foundation blocks of any good roast, the potato is saviour in our catering menus. So versatile, so simple, so delicious – it can help add just that little something more to any dish and menu. Quite honestly, we’re not sure what we would do without the potato.
It’s the sidekick that our hog roast needs. Happy to do the gritty work and let the hog roast continue to take the plaudits. Always there, always satisfying and ever loyal. It may be the hog roast that has allowed our business to grow from strength to strength across three decades, but it is the potato that gives everything the foundations to continue.
Think about it. There are so many ways to prep and cook a potato, it’s the perfect accompaniment for just about any dish. Diversifying any dish is easy when you can get so creative and diverse with just the simple potato. As Samwise Gamgee in Lord of the Rings said, you can boil ‘em, mash ‘em, stick ‘em in a stew! At Hog Roast Courtsend, we can also roast ‘em and crisp them up nicely, dress them in butter with plenty of fresh herbs, make fries out of them, a salad, a gratin or dauphinoise, or even just simple and fried. No matter how you prep them, they are always a crowd winner and ensure that guests stay well fed throughout an event. Winners with the kids as much as the adults, there is no better sidekick than the potato.
So here’s to the best accompaniment around. The next time you are ordering from Hog Roast Courtsend for your catering, make sure to give some props to our many potato side dishes too!
