Gone are the days when a hog roast was simply about serving the roast itself. Today, the hog roast industry has evolved, and exciting new trends are transforming how we experience this classic feast. At Hog Roast Brixton, we’re right at the forefront of these changes, by constantly adapting to meet the requirements of our customers. Here are some of the latest hog roast catering trends that are set to continue into 2025:
Customisation of menus
In our humble opinion, catering is a not a one-size-fits-all approach. Today, customers are looking for a more customised experience to suit their specific needs. Hog Roast Brixton offers a significant amount of flexibility, meaning you can pretty much adapt any dish on our menu, or come up with something entirely different that ticks your boxes. Whether it’s offering a range of meats—like pulled pork, beef, lamb, or even duck—or providing an assortment of sides that cater to dietary preferences (such as vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian options), it’s your call!
Many businesses including catering companies are now opting for locally sourced ingredients. Hog Roast Brixton is no exception, thanks to our partnership with local farmers who specialise in sourcing ethical meats. This focus on sustainability means we have a lower carbon footprint than our competitors, due to the fact that we only source seasonal and organic ingredients from the local area. We are always pushing to make greener decisions for the sake of our planet this year, so keep your eyes peeled!
Impeccable gourmet sides
Throughout 2025, we’re expecting to see rise in gourmet sides that take the traditional hog roast experience to the next level. Think mac and cheese with truffle oil, roasted seasonal vegetables, creamy mashed potatoes, and colourful salads – all combined with delectable smoky pulled pork. Plus, drizzle our very own homemade applesauce on top for that extra burst of flavour. Go for a relaxed food station service, where guests can take their pick of the sides they love most.
