The school summer holidays have officially landed here in Barnsley. And we all know what that means. Six long weeks of “I’m bored” and empty snack cupboards ahead… but also a brilliant chance to spend proper time together as a family. And honestly, if you’re scratching your head about how to keep the kids entertained without driving all over the county, we’ve got the perfect idea: throw a back garden bash.
Nothing fancy. Just some sunshine, good tunes, a few garden games, maybe even a paddling pool, and good food. That’s where we come in.
At Hog Roast Darton, we know how to make a simple afternoon feel like a proper celebration. Whether you’re marking a birthday, celebrating top-notch exam results, or just looking for an excuse to get the family round, we’ve got catering options that’ll suit your vibe and your wallet.
From juicy BBQs and slow-cooked hog roasts to Southern-style spreads, our menus are backed by the whole family. Fussy kids and finicky grandparents included.
No guest list too small (or too big), so don’t panic about things getting out of hand. And don’t worry about sky-high prices either, we keep things realistic at Hog Roast Darton. Many of our team are parents too. We get it.
Now, if you’re more the hands-on type, here’s a fun idea: why not hire one of our grills for the day?
You’ll be the talk of the family when you wheel out a whole hog on a spit or cook up burgers and ribs like a pro. Don’t worry, it’s honestly easier than it looks. Our grills are designed for everyone – from weekend grillers to full-on foodies. Easy to use, stainless steel (so no endless scrubbing after), and properly built to impress.
You take all the credit, we’ll just make sure the equipment is there when you need it to be.
And the best part? It’s all happening at home. No long car journeys, no entrance fees, no packing lunchboxes. Just kids running about, neighbours leaning over the fence for a sneaky bite, and memories you’ll laugh about when the weather turns and winter creeps in.
So if you’re thinking of doing something a bit different this summer, now’s the time. Give Hog Roast Darton a shout and let’s get the party started. Whether we’re doing the cooking or handing you the tools to become the family BBQ hero, we’re always here for you.
