Street food is growing in popularity with 47% of surveyed Brits saying they plan to enjoy more of this kind of food during 2015 and one of the most popular options is the hog roast.
Hog roasts have never really gone out of fashion. They are a big part of all kinds of cultures across the world and have been for several hundred years. Roasted pigs are the national dish of Puerto Rico a traditional Christmas dish in Spain as well as many parts of the Caribbean and it is an important part of Chinese New Year feasts.
In the UK roasting a whole hog has been an important part of feast days. This tradition goes back to Saxon times and for centuries roasting a hog was an important part of Yuletide celebrations. The head was a great delicacy which is one reason so many pubs are still called The Boar’s Head. There is even a carol about eating it.
In modern times they were mainly reserved for big celebrations such as weddings and large corporate events but the development of electric and gas spit roasting machines began to change that. These machines made it possible for hog roasting firms to cater for smaller family parties and today you see them at markets and other street venues.
They are particularly popular at food festivals. Hog roasts look spectacular and they are a familiar food that people love which is one reason they make such popular street food. The new Ripon food festival featured hog roasts as well as more adventurous option which included Indian treats and lobster. Hog roasts are also being used by pubs to attract customers on summer evenings and they are a popular option at fetes and other events.
Naturally the fact that demands is growing means that more people are getting involved in this sector. These days finding a is relatively easy. There are even firms that sell re-conditioned machines or offer the option of hiring a machine which makes it easy for people to take on a couple of jobs and work out if they can make money out of the business.
