St Andrew’s Day, celebrated on the 30th of November every year, holds a special place in the hearts of Scots. It’s a day to honour St Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, who, after leading an army of Picts and Scots to victory against Aethelstan’s Angles at East Lothian, became a national hero. Over a thousand years later, St Andrew’s Day continues to be a joyous occasion marked by lively parties, dancing, and plenty of hearty feasts! Whether you’re gathering with friends, family, or the entire neighbourhood, there’s no better way to celebrate this iconic day than with a great meal! And when it comes to delicious, crowd-pleasing spreads, Hog Roast Dunfermline is here to help you elevate your St Andrew’s Day feast to new heights.
While haggis, neeps, and tatties are a staple of the Scottish holiday table, it turns out our national dish is not for everyone. In fact, 44% of Scots admit they’d rather pass on haggis (that’s a pretty big number!). If you want to make sure your guests are happy, why not opt for a hog roast instead? It’s an iconic Scottish meal with roots that stretch back centuries. Hog roasts were once a symbol of grandeur at mediaeval feasts and royal banquets, where kings and queens enjoyed this majestic dish as the centrepiece of their celebrations. Even earlier, Pagans roasted wild boars during Yuletide gatherings as a symbol of abundance and community. While we’ve modernised the method, the spirit of the feast remains as splendid as ever.
