There’s nothing quite like the feeling of having a child – especially if it’s your first time! The excitement is unique, and bottling up the news for those first 12 weeks can feel nigh on impossible, am I right? But once you’ve spread the word, letting everyone know to expect the new arrival, there are tons of things for you to look forward to – and we don’t just mean name-picking and nursery-decorating!
These days, pregnancy comes with its own string of celebrations attached, starting with a pregnancy reveal party, followed by an iconic gender reveal and, of course, the ever-popular baby shower! These events are a fantastic opportunity for parents-to-be to enjoy the time leading up to their baby’s arrival, and they’re also a great way to make sure that your friends and family feel included in the experience.
Here at Hog Roast Linthwaite, pregnancy-related parties are a common sight, but they’re also one we never grow tired of! Our team loves helping out with these kinds of events, and we were lucky enough to spend last Saturday cooking and serving a Gourmet BBQ Menu at Chantelle and Luke’s baby shower.
With only a few weeks to go before their baby boy arrives, the first-time parents had planned a baby shower, allowing friends and relatives to celebrate the pregnancy one last time before the little one makes his appearance. As is tradition, the guests brought gifts for the baby and mum-to-be, Chantelle.
Whilst the couple opened the presents, Hog Roast Linthwaite kept everyone’s bellies full with our selection of perfectly grilled meats. Our catering manager, Claire, served handmade British beef burger patties on gluten-free rolls with fresh tomato slices, lettuce and melting cheese, along with gourmet sausages, chicken kebabs, sticky spareribs and grilled vegetable skewers. The team also served some salad options, mixed fries and coleslaw for the guests to dig into.
The meal concluded with a grazing table loaded with chocolate chip cookies, sponge cake slices, brownies and cupcakes, which satisfied the sweet-toothed guests!
The couple couldn’t have asked for a better service from Hog Roast Linthwaite and have promised to keep us in mind for their future events.
