With Christmas firmly in our rearview, our attention has already shifted to the next big holiday: Valentine’s Day! Love it or loathe it, there’s no denying it’s one of the oldest celebrations on the calendar. Dating all the way back to the year 496 and believed to have roots in the Roman festival of Lupercalia, Valentine’s Day has been around a lot longer than heart-shaped chocolates and teddy-shaped-rose bouquets.
Over time, the traditions have definitely changed. What started as a celebration of romance has grown to include friendships, family, and pretty much anyone you fancy spoiling for the day. And honestly, we’re all for that. Any excuse to show a bit of appreciation – and enjoy some good food while you’re at it – sounds like a win to us.
At Hog Roast Reading, Valentine’s Day is one of the holidays we look forward to most. There’s just something about it that brings people together – whether that’s couples planning something special, friends organising a get-together, or teams marking the occasion with a shared meal. With less than two weeks to go, the countdown is officially on, and the excitement is definitely starting to build.
No matter how you’re planning to spend Valentine’s Day – or who you’re spending it with – Hog Roast Reading is ready to help you make it memorable. Our menus are designed to suit all kinds of celebrations, from intimate gatherings to larger events where love is very much in the air. And, of course, everything we serve is hearty, comforting and guaranteed to put smiles on faces (and probably put people back in the queue for seconds).
We know that no two events are the same; that’s why Hog Roast Reading offers menus to suit a range of styles and budgets. Going all out? Keeping things simple? Somewhere in between? Whatever you need, we’ve got you covered. Our caterers are also more than happy to work with you to create a bespoke menu that feels uniquely ‘you’.
One piece of advice, though? Don’t leave it too late to place a booking. Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays that sneaks up on you and our diary is already filling up. So, if you’re thinking about booking, now is the time to act.
