Spring is officially here and at Hog Roast Shillingstone, that can only mean one thing: we’re back outside where we belong.
Don’t get us wrong, winter weddings and cosy indoor parties have their charm but there’s something unbeatable about standing in a field, garden or marquee while the scent of slow-roasting meat drifts through the air. It’s that smoky-sweet smell that makes people drift over “just to check how it’s getting on” (translation: they’re already thinking about seconds).
Judging by our phone ringing off the hook and DMs stacking up since the first hint of sunshine, we’re not the only ones ready to make the most of longer days. Spring and summer diaries are filling quickly – but if you haven’t booked yet, take a breath. Hog Roast Shillingstone still has spaces left and we’d love to help you plan something worth talking about.
Need a nudge in the right direction? Here are a few crowd-pleasers:
1) The BBQ Bash
It wouldn’t be a British spring without someone declaring it “BBQ weather” at the first glimpse of blue sky. Our take on this old classic goes a little beyond a pack of supermarket sausages. Think juicy burgers, properly seasoned chicken kebabs, sticky ribs and butcher’s style sausages – all fresh, all homemade with our own hands. Plus we’ll serve fresh salads and meat-free options that don’t feel like they’ve been thrown together at the last second. It’s relaxed, it’s generous and it keeps everyone happy.
2) The Alfresco Spread
If you like your gatherings to feel a bit special, this one’s a beauty. A full hog roast feast served with vibrant sides, tempting desserts and generous platters of Italian deli meats, cheeses, artisan breads and fresh fruit. It’s colourful, sociable and ideal for those long afternoons that somehow drift into evening.
3) The Classic Hog Roast
Sometimes, simple wins. Our signature hog roast is hearty, flavour-packed and always draws a crowd. Add the theatre of carving on-site and you’ve got an instant focal point for your event.
Of course, these are just the starting points. If you’ve got an idea brewing, we’re all ears. Spring doesn’t hang around forever – so make it count with Hog Roast Shillingstone.
