A traditional turkey dinner, complete with the occasional perfectly-cooked sprout, plenty of stuffing, Yorkshire puddings, roasties and pigs in blankets smothered with gravy, is something that everyone looks forward to digging into at this side of the year. But so often, the reality doesn’t live up to our expectations. You all know what I’m referring to: that dry, flavourless bird that’s tough to get a knife through and even harder to chew? Sadly, we’ve all experienced it – some often enough to believe that’s how turkey is actually supposed to taste! It isn’t.
Whilst white meat is more susceptible to drying out, there’s nothing worse than when that does happen. But here’s the good news: Hog Roast Consett has more than a few tricks up our sleeves to prevent this from happening and subsequently spoiling your festive experience. So, if you want to sit down to a turkey that cuts like butter, melts like a dream in your mouth and tastes divine this Christmas, then you know who to come to!
Our Full Festive Menu offers everything you would expect from a seasonal feast, right down to the traditional mince pies with warm brandy cream and homemade mulled wine (alcohol optional), which is guaranteed to get your guests in the Christmas spirit. You can even decide against having turkey altogether and instead treat your guests to the OG Xmas centrepiece: a slow-roasted hog, cooked until golden brown and served with crackling, stuffing and our signature applesauce. For vegetarians and vegans, Hog Roast Consett can provide a choice of our grilled veggie skewers with optional halloumi or BBQ pulled jackfruit rolls with plant-based coleslaw.
Whatever you choose, our team of experienced chefs will not let you down, and Stephen, Hog Roast Consett’s catering manager, will be on hand to help you through every step of the process. With us in your corner, planning your event, whether it be large or small, couldn’t be more simple or hassle-free, and with great prices available across all of our menu plans, you’re sure to nab a fantastic deal when you book with us.
