As might be obvious, the catering team at Hog Roast Basildon are specialists in the traditional hog roast. It is the dish that we came into event catering specifically to make. It is what our entire service, our entire business model and dining experience revolves around. It is what has made us a successful and reputed caterer for over twenty years, nearing even thirty now.

But of course when it comes to a customer’s event, we understand that the hog roast may not actually be what the whole world revolves around, after all. As a bespoke caterer, Hog Roast Basildon has a duty to provide alternative options for our customers. Not all come to us for our hog roast, even though it is the main selling point of our service. We still have plenty of quality and style elsewhere in our dining, so in cases where a customer is not after the hog roast dining experience, we find plenty more ways still to bring out all of that spectacle and style.

One such brilliant alternative to our hog roast is our BBQ marinated pulled jackfruit. Cooking for a vegetarian or a vegan diet tends to be the most typical reason that our customers come to us for something other than a hog roast. That is absolutely fine for us, however. As a caterer we are well skilled in vegetarian cooking and make sure to offer up our customers plenty more options to still dine with us in style. You’re not going to get drab, throwaway veggie alternative at Hog Roast Basildon ; we have so much more than just your typical risotto alternative, or unexciting salads or soups. Instead, our pulled jackfruit is made with just as much care and quality as our signature hog roast. It is an alternative in every sense with the taste, texture, and the look of the jackfruit almost exactly matching our pulled pork. It’s got that rich, meaty texture to it without any of the meat! With a slow cook akin to our hog roast, the jackfruit is just as tender and juicy our signature dish, making it the perfect alternative to a hog roast for our vegetarian and vegan customers!
