One of the greatest aspects of this line of the work is the ability to connect with our guests. Whether we hit it off with great chat between staff and guests or a simple connection over the love of food – we love sharing that experience with our guests. And just recently, Hog Roast East Grinstead catered for the bright and beautiful couple Bethany and Elliot who got married over the weekend.
We catered at the wedding reception which kicked off with fresh bubbly being served to guests upon arrival. For the little bites, there was beer battered mini fish and chips, fresh Scottish Smoked Salmon on brown bread with cream cheese, grilled chicken skewers accompanied by a spicy Indian selection served to each guest. As for the meats, we of course served our signature whole roasted free-range pig alongside a whole roasted free-range chicken – all of which is part of our bespoke wedding menu.
As for the vegetarian guests, colourful grilled vegetable and haloumi skewers and three different salad choices: tomato and mozzarella salad, homemade coleslaw and a selection of seasonal leaves. And for the potato option, herby and buttery new potatoes plus a mixture of traditional and sweet potato fries. All these options were served on China crockery and cutlery with bread rolls and wraps on the side.
The venue was gorgeously decorated with neon pink, orange and blue paper pom poms dangling from the barn structures and brightly coloured florals potted and placed on every table – and bulbed fairy lights stringing across the barn interior walls. All of the staff at Hog Roast Grinstead were in awe of the atmosphere. It was vibrant and reflected the guests’ bright smiles, constant chatter and laughter throughout the afternoon.
After a brilliant afternoon that carried on into an evening of dancing and love, we had to wave a reluctant goodbye to the newly-weds and their family and friends. The Hog Roast Grinstead team packed and cleaned up as if we were never there and gave a congratulations to the couple before taking off.
One final one from us, congratulations Bethany and Elliot.
