Rain, grey skies, a bit more rain, occasional hail just to keep things interesting – if you’ve spent any meaningful amount of time in Dublin, you already know the score. And hey, sometimes (just sometimes) that kind of weather can be genuinely lovely. Wandering through Temple Bar when the cobblestones are slick and the light is doing something atmospheric, or exploring castle grounds that feel like they’ve been snatched straight out of a Bram Stoker novel. Moody Dublin has its charm and we’ll defend it.
But sometimes you just want the sun – actual warm, no coat required sunshine. And this summer, it has finally arrived. With temperatures sitting comfortably in the low twenties – warm enough to actually enjoy, cool enough that you’re not a melty, sticky mess – Dublin has collectively decided to make the most of every single day of it. The garden furniture has been dragged from its dusty spot at the back of the shed, the paddling pool is out and all anyone can think about is a BBQ. And honestly, that’s fair enough.
If there’s one thing that takes a sunny afternoon in the garden from nice to noteworthy, it’s a BBQ. There’s something about food cooked over a grill that just hits differently. That smoky char, the way it gets into the meat and changes everything about it, the smell alone doing half the work before anyone’s even picked up a plate. Burgers, sausages, chicken kebabs, spareribs – all of them taste good on their own, but all of them taste infinitely better when they’ve spent time over an open flame.
At Hog Roast Ballybrack, this is what we do. Using industry-leading equipment that takes the guesswork out of getting it right, we’ve figured out how to nail a BBQ every single time – and our
gourmet sides make the whole thing even harder to walk away from. Fresh, well-seasoned and put together with the same care as everything else on the spread, our salad and potato options earn their place at the table.
So, if this weather has you thinking about getting friends and family into the garden for an afternoon of proper food and good company, now is the time to get in touch with Hog Roast Ballybrack. Dublin sunshine is precious and unpredictable in equal measure – we genuinely don’t know how long this dry spell has left in it.
