We’ve said it before and we’re not backing down now: there’s nothing quite like a hog roast.
It’s one of those cooking traditions that’s stood the test of time for a reason. Back in the day – and we’re talking way back – it was the centrepiece of grand feasts and royal banquets. Entire communities would gather around the fire, drawn in by that unmistakable aroma. Fast forward a few thousand years and, honestly? Not too much has changed. It still has that same wow factor and ability to draw people in.
Of course, a lot of people still tend to associate hog roasts with winter celebrations – cosy gatherings, festive cheer, plates piled high while everyone tries to warm their hands around a mug of something steaming hot. Or maybe autumn – you know, when fireworks crackle overhead and the smoky scent in the air makes a hearty roll of slow-roasted pork taste even better.
But here’s the thing: hog roasts aren’t seasonal.
At Spitting Pig North Yorkshire, spring is actually one of our favourite times to fire things up. The evenings stretch a little longer, coats get lighter and gardens come back to life with guests eager to celebrate al fresco style. It’s that sweet spot where you can comfortably gather outdoors without worrying about melting in the heat or chittering in the ice-cold rain. And no matter what you’re celebrating, a hog roast fits right in – relaxed, generous, impossible to ignore.
And this year, Spitting Pig North Yorkshire is giving you an extra reason to say yes.
Between March and May 2026, we’re giving you the chance to knock £75 off your catering bill when you choose one of our selected menus across all midweek bookings. Yes, that means between Monday and Thursday until May, you can enjoy the same slow-cooked, flavour-packed pork, the same golden crackling and same bubbly Spitting Pig North Yorkshire team taking care of everything – just a little bit cheaper.
So, if you’ve been looking for a sign to plan something this spring or just needed an excuse to try your first-ever hog roast, consider this it. Let’s make it memorable – crackling and all.
