As the temperatures drop and the rain storms roll across Cumbria, Hog Roast Penrith is doing everything possible to keep the festive spirit alive. We’ve never let bad weather spoil our fun before, and we’re certainly not about to start now! This season, the grey skies have been no match for our determination to sprinkle a little holiday magic across the region!
Last weekend, we were thrilled to be part of a local Christmas Market at a nearby rugby ground, which had been transformed into a winter wonderland. The event was pure festive bliss: twinkling Christmas lights, stalls brimming with unique gifts, and the laughter of families enjoying fairground rides and carnival games. The crisp air was alive with the scent of roasted chestnuts, mulled wine, and—of course—our irresistible hog roast.
Nestled away from the other vendors, our Hog Roast Penrith stall was an instant hit for the very special guests who had been invited by the Rugby Club. We served up fluffy rolls bursting with succulent pulled pork, sage and onion stuffing, crackling so crunchy it was practically music to the ears, and a dollop of tangy applesauce to tie it all together. Each bite was a warm hug on a chilly day.
Hog Roast Penrith’s caterers worked tirelessly all day, their enthusiasm unfaltering even as the crowds kept coming. It’s hard not to smile when you’re serving something you’re proud of and watching people’s faces light up at the first bite. By the time the event came to a close, we had run out of pork – not a scrap remained, which is the best compliment we could ever ask for!
If you couldn’t make it to this Christmas Market, don’t worry—our journey isn’t over yet. With there still some time left before big day, Hog Roast Penrith is gearing up for more events across the region. Keep your eyes peeled for us, and when you spot our stall, don’t hesitate to swing by. We’d love to share a hog roast sandwich and a hearty dose of festive cheer with you!
Rain, snow, or shine, Hog Roast Penrith is here to make this holiday season a delicious one!
