Happy Halloween, everyone! We hope you had as much fun as we did this spooky season!
At Hog Roast Bedale, we were positively swamped with bookings throughout October, but nothing could have prepared us for the thrilling finale at the local botanic gardens. This immersive, family-friendly event was a Halloween extravaganza filled with jaw-dropping sound and light displays, unmissable photo opportunities, and an outdoor adventure route that perfectly captured the spooky spirit of Halloween!
As families roamed through the eerie landscape, they encountered a spine-chilling CarnEvil, a hair-raising haunted house, the kooky Clown Town, and a creepy cemetery that could make anyone jump! But, if you ask us, the real magic happened at the end of this ghostly journey—a bustling gourmet street food village awaited, and Hog Roast Bedale was in full swing, ready to serve up some deliciousness to guests as they finished the trail!
We worked tirelessly to ensure that each of the hundreds of attendees was fed promptly, and let me tell you, our team was on fire! Our signature hog roast sandwiches were a star attraction, brimming with succulent, slow-roasted pork, savoury sage and onion stuffing, crispy crackling, and a generous dollop of sweet applesauce. Served alongside a choice of crispy sweet potato or regular fries, our offerings kept the crowd warm and well-fed throughout the eerie evening. Guests could top their fries with a variety of Sauce Shop sauces or dress them up with classic salt and vinegar, making each bite a perfect blend of seasonal flavours.
The best part of the night for us was seeing the smiles on the faces of all our guests as they indulged in their delicious meals while soaking up the festive atmosphere!
As well as our unmissable hog roast, the event also featured a roaring campfire where families roasted marshmallows and crafted gooey s’mores—an absolute must for any Halloween celebration! Plus, little ghouls and goblins had the chance to get creative at the pumpkin patch, carving out their own pumpkins to take home as spooky souvenirs.
Hog Roast Bedale had a blast being part of this thrilling evening, serving delicious food and creating unforgettable memories. With laughter, chills, and our incredible hog roast sandwiches bringing everyone together, this Halloween was truly one for the books! We can’t wait to do it all again next year.
