Ever wonder what bikers get up to when they’re not cruising highways and turning heads with their roaring engines? Sure, you’ll likely find some tinkering with their beloved rides or planning their next road trip. But here’s a twist you might not expect: some of these leather-clad road warriors swap their jackets for sharp suits, elegant dresses, and polished dancing shoes!
Just last weekend, Hog Roast Preston got an insider’s look at one of these fabulous events, and let’s just say – bikers sure know how to throw a party. Even better, this event was all for a great cause!
Every year, a North West motorcycle club hosts a glamorous dinner dance, bringing together members from chapters far and wide for an unforgettable evening of food, fun, and fundraising. This isn’t your typical rough-and-tumble biker gathering. It’s a sophisticated soirée where the laughter is as lively as the music, and the passion for giving back is as strong as their love of the open road.
This year’s event was nothing short of exquisite. Hosted at a nearby hotel, the venue was transformed into a dreamy wonderland. String lights glittered like stars, chiffon ceiling drapes gave the room an air of elegance, and a balloon arch served as the perfect backdrop for photos. As guests arrived, they mingled and toasted the night ahead, all while anticipating the highlight of the evening: Hog Roast Preston’s legendary feast.
And what a feast it was! The festivities kicked off with trays of delectable canapés – think roasted duck, mini pizzas, chicken liver parfait, and more. It wasn’t long before the main course stole the spotlight. The hog roast, with its crispy crackling and succulent meat, was a crowd favourite, while the mustard-brushed sirloin had its own fanbase. Add to that smoky vegan BBQ-pulled jackfruit rolls, gourmet salads and roasted potatoes, this buffet was brimming with options that ensured no-one was left hungry.
For dessert? Hog Roast Preston prepared a banquet of cheesecakes so creamy they melted in your mouth and vacherins layered with strawberries and passionfruit cream that no one could resist. With plates licked clean and glasses refilled, guests hit the dance floor, grooving to live music that kept the energy buzzing well into the night.
But the real star of the evening was the cause. Through raffles, auctions, and ticket sales, the event raised an impressive amount for charity, proving once again that bikers have hearts as big as their engines!
