Oink-oink! Thank you 2023 ❤️
Cheers to a cracking year, and here’s to another one to come!
We’ve had a wonderful year, and our little business has gone from strength to strength.
Congratulations to all the wonderful couples whose weddings we were invited to cater for - it’s always a privilege and delight to be part of someone’s big day! 💍💒
We’ve also catered for birthdays, retirements, anniversaries, charity events and christenings this year - and thank you all for having us be part of your celebrations 🍾🎉🥳
Thank you to @thehopkettlecirencester, @farpeakevents, @appfestuk, @fairford_fairfest, @westonbirthouse, The Drillman’s Arms, @cirentownfc, and Cherington Show (amount others!) for having us at your events or letting us take over your kitchens this year! 🎤🎪🎭
In the interest of balance, here are our highlights and lowlights from the year:
👍 Total sellouts at the summer’s festivals, surprising even ourselves!
👍 Seeing your happy faces and hearing your lovely feedback
👍 SO. MANY. PIGLETS.
👎 Piglets with no respect for electric fences
👎 Poppy’s trip to Bristol Burns unit
👎 SO. MUCH. RAIN.

We’ve been cooking up a storm tonight with these chateaubriands, along with garlic and chilli buttered monkfish, tandoori chicken and lemon & herb halloumi on the BBQ. It’s not everyday you get asked to cater for an album launch party. Thank you for having us and for the cheeky copy of the album @vincefreemanofficial, we had a great time. Listen out for Vince’s first single coming out later this year! #catering #eventscatering #privatecatering #bbq #bbqlovers #chateaubriand #localbeef #backbritish #britishbeef #bbqsteak #steak #steaksofinstagram #filletsteak #steaklover #albumlaunch #cotswoldcatering #gloucestershirecatering #ukfoodies #gloucestershirefood #cotswolds #gloucestershire #foodies #cheltenhamfoodies #glosfoodies #cotswoldfoodies #supportsmallbusiness
Pigs tend to get ignored when talking about sustainable farming and regenerative agriculture, and there’s no doubt that intensive pig rearing systems are not environmentally sound. However, left to their own devices in an outdoor system pigs have real ecological benefits. They clear saplings and undercover from woods allowing new growth, they munch their way through invasive species like rhodendron and those that other animals can’t eat like bracken, when kept outdoors they also produce an incredible, natural fertiliser which reduces the need for chemical interventions. Our middle whites naturally have a lower propensity to rootling (because of their silly snub noses) so contribute less to soil erosion too. Our biggest bunch are currently working their way through around 4 acres of heavy scrub and poplars in an old quarry which will ultimately improve the field for wildlife and other livestock. #pigs #outdoorpigs #adayinthelife #feedingtime #pigsofinstagram #freerange #sustainable #sustainableagriculture #regenerativeagriculture #wildlifefriendlyfarming #pigfarming #regenerativefarming #environmentallyfriendly #cotswoldfarming #backbritish #eatlocal #supportlocal

It’s all about the burger here at @thehopkettlecirencester tonight!
Burger of the day is:
Double stacked beef burger with bacon jam, cheese sauce, garlic mayo and beer braised onions. Delicious!

This little piggy… is self-isolating with a bad leg - what a bed hog!
A hog roast is a great addition to any garden-based work’s meeting. Message or email us now to make an enquiry!
Ps. We’re sorry but you’ll have to BYOB, we can only supply the hog rolls.
Hog looking good at The Butchers Arms, Oakridge!
