The first few weeks of December were pleasantly crisp. But it didn’t take very long for winter to really make its presence known, now did it?
Bringing below-freezing temperatures, a slew of snow flurries and lots and lots of icy rain showers, this exceptionally chilly season has had most of the UK population wanting to stay indoors. But if you thought a little cold weather would be enough to stop Hog Roast Malham from doing what we love best, think again!
Even with Jack Frost nipping at our fingers and toes, our catering crew has continued serving our wonderful menus outdoors. Most recently, we had a fantastic time serving our Full Festive spread at an open-air community event, which gave locals the chance to enjoy a variety of winter activities, including ice skating, fairground rides and an igloo-themed photo booth, which made for some excellent picture opportunities!
As well as the vast selection of entertainment options available, there were a number of food stalls dotted around the venue. Some were selling fresh churros and doughnuts, while others offered candy floss and rock candy. Hog Roast Malham was among them, of course, and we’re proud to say that the aromatic smells that wafted from our stall, combined with the theatrical appearance of our spit-roasted hog, kept our line busy all evening!
It seemed that everyone was desperate to sink their teeth into our mouth-wateringly delicious hog roast, and determined not to let anyone down, James, our catering manager, and the rest of the Hog Roast Malham crew worked fervently to serve everyone in a timely manner.
Our hog roast was served on gluten-free rolls with crackling, sage and onion stuffing, applesauce and a choice of seasonal accompaniments. These included pigs in blankets, cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes with piping hot gravy. As an added treat, Hog Roast Malham also prepared homemade mince pies and a choice of alcoholic or non-alcoholic mulled wine.
Hog Roast Malham’s winter warming menu made the biting chill that bit more bearable for the attendees, and, after wolfing down our wholesome grub, many of them came back for more!
