Here in the UK we might like to tease our American cousins from time to time, and they may like to do so back as well. But sometimes we can put aside our funny little odd differences and realise that both of us like much the same things in our foods. We love a classic old roast here in the UK, and the Americans love their spice rubbed roasts and smoky cookouts. Though we might claim the superiority of our roasts, and they theirs, here at Hog Roast Allerdale we merely see each as two sides of the same coin. And with that, the two can come together seamlessly for a brilliant catered dining experience, right here at Hog Roast Allerdale!
As a caterer for events, our signature dish is the hog roast, but we also have plenty other menus that exist within the same culinary family. One such favourite is our Southern Slow Roast menu which takes the classic cookout style of dining from the Americans and transports to our own events here in the UK. Unlike roast dining here, the southern slow roast tends toward smoky and spicy flavours. Spice rubs are a huge component of the southern roast and the cooking style tends to favour a lot of smokiness which is why it is a dining style typically seen outdoors in the hotter states. But amongst the many classic American dishes are some truly excellent flavours that we know can sizzle up your summer plans too, right here in the UK.
With our mobile roasting machines Hog Roast Allerdale are capable of doing the cookout style for your events. You can get some really delicious meats such as our Texan style beef brisket, BBQ pork butt, Cajun spiced whole roast chicken, or our Louisiana style sticky pork ribs. These are all roasted low and slow to allow the meat to become really tender while also letting you enjoy your “cookout” at leisure. Such a style of dining goes great with a couple friends and a couple drinks out in the sunshine.
Along with plenty more American classics – like mac and cheese, corn on the cob, potato salad – you could also add in our own classic British hog roast to really make it a fusion of US and UK dining for your event!
