Who says Sundays are for lying around in pyjamas? Not us! This past Sunday, the Hog Roast Gateshead team was up with the birds (literally) and off to help celebrate a fabulous business makeover in style!
Our mission? Feed the hungry, fuel the fun, and fire up the grill for Claire’s big beauty salon reopening bash. After a month of dust, drills, and design magic, Claire was ready to show off her newly revamped space -and what better way to mark the occasion than with balloons, bubbly, and, of course, a legendary hog roast?
We arrived early, coffee in hand, and got the very first peek at the salon’s stunning glow-up. Spoiler: it looked incredible. Think chic, sleek, and seriously Instagram-worthy. We gave Claire a well-deserved round of applause before rolling up our sleeves and getting to the delicious part.
First order of business: hoisting our star of the show – the whole hog -onto our trusty stainless steel grill. We scored the skin, splashed on the water, and salted it like we were casting a spell. Why? Because crispy crackling doesn’t just happen, people. It takes dedication.
Around the hog, we added a sea of sage and onion stuffing to soak up those juicy, porky drippings – flavour central! Then we whipped up our fan-favourite homemade applesauce and prepped our vegan MVP: BBQ-pulled jackfruit buns, topped with crunchy, colourful plant-based ‘slaw. Whether you’re a meat-lover or a plant-based foodie, rest assured that Hog Roast Gateshead will always have your taste buds covered.
By the time guests started to arrive, the air smelled like pure joy – and maybe a bit like sage and roast pork (aka heaven). People were obsessed with the food. The hog roast buns? Gone in a flash. The jackfruit? A surprise hit with even the most dedicated carnivores.
We laughed, we served, and we left with full hearts and empty trays.
Helping local businesses like Claire’s celebrate milestones is our jam. So if you’re in the North East and planning something big – grand opening, staff party, or just feel like throwing a party with pigs – Hog Roast Gateshead is ready to bring the sizzle.
Let’s make your event the next talk of the Gateshead!
