January really does come in with a lot of pressure attached to it. New year, new you, fresh starts, big plans. Somewhere between the midnight fireworks and the taxi ride home we all convince ourselves that this is the month where everything clicks into place. We’ll be organised. We’ll be energised. We’ll finally sort our lives out…
And then BOOM, real life kicks in.
The Christmas decorations disappear back into their boxes, the alarm clock starts shouting at you again, and suddenly you’re leaving the house in the dark and coming home in the dark. The weather isn’t playing ball, your bank balance is still sulking after December, and that “fresh start” feeling fades pretty quickly. It’s no surprise January often feels more like survival mode than a motivational reset.
That heavy, sluggish feeling even has a name now: the January Blues. Millions of people feel it every single year – the low energy, low mood, and the sense that spring is taking its sweet, sweet time to arrive. If that’s you right now, you’re in very good company. But it’s not all doom and gloom – there’s plenty of pick-me-ups to get you through the blues and Hog Roast Exeter has the best one yet.
Now, we’re not about to pretend food solves everything. But we are firm believers that it helps. A lot. At Hog Roast Exeter, we’ve seen first-hand what good food can do in the middle of winter. We’re talking proper, warming, comforting stuff that makes you feel human again. Yes, like a hog roast.
Seriously, a hog roast in January just hits differently. The smell alone is enough to lift the mood. It’s the kind of food that makes people slow down, grab a plate and appreciate the little things. No rushing. No stress. Just full plates and full bellies.
So if January hasn’t quite lived up to the hype so far, don’t write it off. Give yourself something to look forward to. A small get-together, a midweek treat, or a “why not?” meal with the people you enjoy being around.
Good food, good company – what better way is there to start the year?
Get planning with Hog Roast Exeter now.
