The magic of Christmas is just around the corner, and Hog Roast Dovecot is ecstatic to announce that Merseyside will see the return of winter markets this year! Are you as excited as we are?
Starting in the coming weeks, residents will begin to see these open-air festivals take shape in their local town centres. Market stalls selling handmade goods will pop up along with children’s carnival rides, Santa’s Grotto, ice-skating rinks, and tasty hog roasts made by yours truly! Yes, our team has been invited to lend a helping hand at several of these upcoming events, and we couldn’t be more excited for the celebrations to commence.
With event planners determined to make a huge comeback this year, our team has a busy few months ahead of them, to say the very least, starting with the outdoor market that Gerry and Beth have planned.
Gerry and Beth were the first winter market event organisers to have approached us this year, and after speaking with Sam, our catering manager here at Hog Roast Dovecot, they were able to find a menu that they are confident will entice their guests. The open-air festival will be taking place in only a week’s time and, like many of these celebrations, it will last the entire weekend, so our team has been working hard, non-stop to get everything ready for the occasion.
Over the two-day period, our catering team will cook our trademark hog roast rolls, which involves serving the juiciest and most tender pulled pork on a crunchy wholemeal or gluten-free roll with sizzling crackling, sage and onion flavoured stuffing and fresh, homemade applesauce. With it being the festive period, we’ll also be serving everyone’s Christmastime favourites – pigs in blankets with cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes smothered in rich gravy.
For the veggie and vegan guests, Gerry and Beth have chosen our BBQ pulled jackfruit buns with a crunchy vegan coleslaw and a side salad, which will be finished off by a delicious dessert that everyone will be able to enjoy: Hog Roast Dovecot’s famous mince pies served with warm brandy cream. Delicious!
