Most people think Valentine’s Day is all about roses, cards and overpriced chocolates… but the day itself is far older than you might realise. Way back in the 8th century, the 14th of February was marked by the Feast of Saint Valentine. The romance didn’t come until later – a lot later. Fast forward a few hundred years and suddenly it’s all candlelit dinners and heart-shaped everything. And then – because modern life loves an upgrade – we got Galentine’s Day for the girls, Palentine’s Day for the pals and basically a reason for everyone to celebrate something in mid-February.
Whatever label you stick on it, the one thing that never changes is this: food matters. Chocolate is great – obviously. Chocolate-covered strawberries? Elite. But let’s be honest, chocolate is not a meal and when you really want to celebrate properly, you need something a bit more substantial.
That’s why you need Hog Roast Blackpool this Valentine’s Day. We’re big believers in the idea that love (in all its forms) is best expressed through a seriously good meal. Whether you’re planning a cosy night in with your favourite people, hosting a Galentine’s get-together, or throwing a full-blown Saint Valentine-style feast, the right food sets the tone for the whole event.
Naturally, our hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. It’s hearty, full of flavour and always gets people talking. But if pork isn’t your thing, no problem. At Hog Roast Blackpool, we also serve up chicken, beef, lamb, turkey and plenty of meat-free options, so everyone feels included. Add some fresh salads, comforting potato dishes, soft rolls or wraps, and you’ve got a spread that keeps guests hovering near the buffet table all night.
And here’s the cherry on top. If you book with Hog Roast Blackpool between now and the end of the month, there are some pretty lovely savings to be had. We’re offering £100 off our Alfresco Menu and £150 off our wedding menus, which makes February feel a little sweeter all round.
So however you’re celebrating this Valentine’s season, skip the predictable bits, gather your favourite people and make food the main event. It’s what we do best.
