Charity fundraisers come in all shapes and sizes, with common events including sponsored walks, hair cuts, bake sales, and raffles. The event you choose will depend on the charity you are fundraising for, as well as your budget and organisation. For example, fundraising for a local charity will not require the same level of hosting as a national charity, such as Children in Need. At Hog Roast Ampthill we have a variety of different catering styles, with something suited to every event. we recently catered for a formal charity ball, and this is the menu we provided…
Each year Oakwood Shopping Centre choose a charity to sponsor. They host events and fundraisers throughout the year and present the charity with the money during the final event. This year, one of the events was a charity ball. The guests paid a ticket price for their attendance, which included a delicious Hog Roast Ampthill sit-down meal, with a percentage of every ticket sale going to charity. The ball was a formal event, with a black-tie dress code and delicious catering.
As the guests arrived at the venue, Hog Roast Ampthill served them a selection of canapés: roasted duck breast, fresh salmon, mini fish and chips, mini pizza, and an Indian selection. Following on from this, the guests were shown to their seats by our waiting staff and then served their main course. We provided roasted sirloin steak and whole-roasted chicken, as well as pulled BBQ jackfruit for vegan guests. The mains were served with a selection of side dishes and salad options, creating a nutritious and delicious meal. To end the catering, we served fresh fruit salad and delicious profiteroles, both served elegantly on plates dressed with cream and berries. This was the perfect way to end the menu, with the guests now ready to enjoy the excellent entertainment.
