Choosing the perfect menu for your wedding probably doesn’t seem like it should be all that difficult. But then you start thinking about what you and your partner actually like, what dozens of guests are going to want to eat, who’s vegetarian, who’s vegan, who’s gluten-free and whether Auntie Susan is going to complain about anything that isn’t cooked exactly the way she likes it. Suddenly, it’s looking like a bigger decision than you expected. But it’s worth getting right.
Food plays a surprisingly big part in the atmosphere of a wedding. After all, your guests might not remember the exact shade of the napkins or which flowers were on the tables, but they’ll certainly remember sitting down to a meal they loved – the trick is picking something that feels special enough for the occasion without being so formal that guests are afraid to indulge freely.
That’s probably why Hog Roast Yeovil’s Southern Slow Roast Menu has been proving such a hit with couples looking for a more relaxed, rustic feel. It has all the things you want from wedding food: plenty of it, lots of choice and absolutely no need for anyone to worry about which fork they’re supposed to be using.
Our latest clients chose this menu for their big day earlier in the month, with 62 guests sitting down to enjoy the spread. The couple picked their favourite trio from our seriously tempting line-up of meats, comprising BBQ pork butt, 24-hour Texan beef brisket, Cajun-spiced chicken, sticky ribs and pulled minted lamb. Then there were the sauces, ranging from smoky-sweet BBQ to our legendary Hickory Bourbon, plus the Cajun hot pepper sauce for anyone brave enough to turn up the heat.
Hog Roast Yeovil always makes sure there’s plenty for the non-meat eaters too. In fact, the couple had a hard time choosing between our vegetable kebabs with optional halloumi and BBQ-pulled jackfruit burgers, which sounded equally delicious – but they made the right call in the end.
And if you’re the kind of person that loves a great side dish, the Southern Slow Roast won’t disappoint. Freshly prepared Greek salad, homemade coleslaw, mac and cheese, roasted baby potatoes and a mixture of sweet potato and traditional fries are just a few of the options available, which makes it very easy to end up with an overflowing plate after just a few spoonfuls.
That’s really the appeal of the Southern Slow Roast. It’s hearty without being fussy, relaxed without feeling ordinary and gives everyone plenty to get stuck into. For a rustic wedding where the food is meant to be enjoyed rather than overthought, it’s a pretty hard menu to beat – so if that sounds like your kind of vibe, give Hog Roast Yeovil a call now.
