With the days getting shorter and the tell tale signs of autumn’s approach starting to emerge, the residents of Rutland are determined to savour the last traces of summer before the cold winds and rain showers set in.
With a keen understanding that outdoor festivities become more challenging as the seasons shift, the community has been seizing every opportunity for celebration. Just this past weekend, a vibrant street party organised by local businesses created a memorable farewell to summer, and Hog Roast South Luffenham was honoured to take part, presenting our mouth watering Southern Slow Roast Menu.
The event was a true testament to the spirit of Rutland, a culmination of collaborative efforts by businesses that sought to create a multi-faceted experience for everyone. Attendees were treated to a diverse array of offerings, from craft beer and fizz to wine and gin stalls, creating a festive libation haven. A captivating magician, talented face painters, bustling market stalls, and even a bouncy castle added a touch of enchantment for all ages. To the delight of music enthusiasts, live performances, ranging from ABBA and Queen tribute bands to a soulful blues ensemble and a groove-infused DJ, catered to an eclectic range of musical tastes.
With so much to explore, appetites were naturally ignited, setting the perfect stage for Hog Roast South Luffenham’s culinary creations. Our presence added an irresistible element to the festivities, offering a gastronomic voyage through the American South. The smoky aroma of fall-off-the-bone Louisiana sticky pork ribs, the melt-in-your-mouth tenderness of Texan-inspired beef brisket, and the spicy allure of our Cajun whole roast chicken promised a sensory adventure that lived up to the vibrant atmosphere.
For those seeking a meat-free indulgence, our BBQ-pulled jackfruit rolls provided a delectable alternative, ensuring that every palate was catered to. The feast extended to sides that complemented the main dishes flawlessly. Our mixed fries, with their golden crispness, the tangy crunch of Memphis-style coleslaw, and the rich creaminess of mac and cheese elevated the dining experience, transforming it into a symphony of flavours.
As the sun set on this burst of summer revelry, the unity of the community, the richness of the music, and the delightful flavours of Hog Roast South Luffenham’s delightful dishes created a whirlwind of memories that will endure long into the autumn months.
