Each day brings a new adventure for the Hog Roast Killingworth team, and last Saturday was no exception! We pitched up our trusty catering gazebo at the grand opening of a brand-new art studio – a long-awaited dream brought to life by local creative, Lucy. With a passion for building a community hub where talent can shine, Lucy opened the doors of her working studio to artists and art lovers alike for a spectacular open-day event.
And what an event it was! Over 70 incredibly talented creators came together under one roof – painters, ceramicists, printmakers, photographers, and more. The space buzzed with creativity and conversation, with original artworks on show (and for sale!) around every corner. It was the perfect celebration of artistic flair and community spirit.
To make the occasion extra special, Lucy brought in what she described as the “finishing touch” – a legendary hog roast from yours truly. Having heard the whispers (or should we say enthusiastic reviews?) that Hog Roast Killingworth is the top catering crew in the North East, she had full faith we’d bring the flavour. And bring it we did!
With the Hog Master ignited and a whole pig gently roasting over glowing flames, our team got to work. The result? A feast for all the senses. The aroma alone drew curious guests toward our stand, but it was the taste that truly wowed. Succulent pulled pork, golden crunchy crackling, fluffy sage and onion stuffing, and sweet, sweet applesauce – all piled high in soft gluten-free or wholemeal rolls – made for the kind of sandwich people dream about.
Of course, we also had something special up our sleeves for the vegetarian and vegan attendees. Our grilled vegetable kebabs, served with optional halloumi, creamy tzatziki, and warm flatbreads, were a huge hit – vibrant, satisfying, and just as thoughtfully prepared.
As brushes were swapped for bites and paint gave way to plates, we couldn’t help but smile. Art met appetite in the most delicious way, and Hog Roast Killingworth was proud to play a part in such a memorable day.
