Turning 75 is a significant milestone, marking three-quarters of a century filled with memories, experiences, and accomplishments. It’s a momentous occasion that calls for a grand celebration, and birthday girl Maureen wholeheartedly embraced this opportunity to commemorate her journey through life.
With her heart set on reliving her favourite decade – the 70s – she spared no effort in planning an unforgettable birthday bash that would transport her and her guests back in time.
Maureen’s love for the 70s era was evident in every detail of the party planning process. From the moment guests stepped into the venue, they were immersed in a nostalgic ambience adorned with disco balls, lava lamps, and groovy floral wall hangings. The air was filled with the sounds of classic tracks from the decade, courtesy of a talented DJ spinning vinyl records and the room was flooded with psychedelic light projections, which added to the atmosphere.
One major highlight of the evening, though, was undoubtedly the attire, as guests arrived dressed in their best 70s-inspired outfits. From funky flares to groovy prints, everyone embraced the theme with enthusiasm, with some even channelling iconic figures like David Bowie and Elton John.
Of course, no celebration is ever complete without delicious food, and Maureen entrusted Hog Roast Sparkhill to cater to the culinary needs of her guests. As Birmingham’s number one hog roasting provider, Maureen had full confidence in our ability to deliver an exceptional dining experience – and we certainly didn’t disappoint!
The menu featured melt-in-the-mouth pulled pork served on gluten-free baps with sage and onion stuffing, homemade applesauce and crackling. Fresh salads bursting with seasonal flavours added colour and vibrancy to the spread, while vegetarian and vegan guests were treated to delectable BBQ-pulled jackfruit rolls.
In addition to the main course, guests indulged in charcuterie platters teeming with Italian meats, cheeses, and artisan bread, and balancing out these savoury flavours, Hog Roast Sparkhill presented a buffet of tangy tarte au citron and decadent chocolate-smothered profiteroles.
As the evening drew to a close, it was clear that Maureen’s 75th birthday celebration had exceeded all expectations. Surrounded by loved ones, laughter, and Hog Roast Sparkhill’s delicious food, she couldn’t have asked for a better way to mark this significant milestone.
