The ultimate benchmark of success for any company is when the name of your brand becomes synonymous with the quality of something. For example, you might call a watch brand the “Rolls Royce” of watches, or a Hog Roast Barnoldswick service the “Rolls Royce” of catering services.
But what about when you are with the very company that the phrase comes from? Well, for our highlighted guests of this week from Rolls Royce, they don’t have to imagine too hard what that might be like.
Famed around the world for its lavish motor cars and it’s ingenuity in engineering and aerospace, Rolls Royce is easily one of the most sought-after brands in the world. So, then, it was a true privilege for the entire Hog Roast Barnoldswick team to be asked to cater for Rolls Royce plc staff in Barnoldswick last Friday. For a very festive Friday afternoon of festive foods and good cheer with a very special guest, we had a whopping 400 odd staff members to cater for. That meant all hands-on deck as we had to prepare food for every single guest to at least be able to have seconds if they wanted, along with the capacity to serve them all in an efficient and timely fashion. Thankfully, since it was efficiency and ingenuity we were after, we were certainly in the right place for plenty of inspiration with the Rolls Royce team!
As our chefs prepped hog roast after hog roast, turkey after turkey, our serving staff put the final prep to our festive serving tent. All of their hard work in making our special event with Rolls Royce as festive as possible certainly seemed to pay off, because it drew in a very special surprise guest: Santa! Santa couldn’t help but come join us for a hog roast roll or two, and even hung around to take pictures with all of the Hog Roast Barnoldswick serving staff.
It was an incredible event that we can’t wait to share more of. In many ways, you could say it was the Rolls Royce of catered events!
