Autumn weddings are always a beautiful event, with the setting of orange leaves, cosy venues, and beautiful sunsets. For an autumnal reception, it can be a great idea to provide a delicious and warming meal for your guests to enjoy, to match the cosy atmosphere. At Hog Roast Lewisham, we have a selection of menus that are ideal for this occasion, including this one…
Stevie and her partner both have summer birthdays, so they didn’t want to also have a spring wedding or wedding anniversary. Instead, they decided to get married in October and enjoy a wonderful autumnal wedding. October is the ideal month for this as the nights begin to get longer but it is not yet too cold to enjoy some time outdoors on your big day. For Stevie’s wedding, she planned to have a traditional ceremony, followed by a cosy and warm reception at a local function room. The theme of the reception was autumnal, with guests being asked to follow a warm-toned dress code to suit the event. Hog Roast Lewisham was hired to cater for this event as our classic hog roast would be an ideal addition to this theme.
With the menu being served at 2:00pm, the Hog Roast Lewisham arrived at the venue in the morning to get everything prepared. We began by slow-roasting the hog and ensuring that it was cooked to perfection before it was expertly carved by our chef. The sliced meat was then served in fresh bread rolls, alongside sage and onion stuffing, homemade applesauce, and crispy crackling. For meat-free guests, we also served BBQ pulled jackfruit in bread rolls, which is a delicious pork alternative. The main dishes were accompanied by a selection of salad dishes and homemade chips, to create a varied and delicious main meal, with something for everyone to enjoy.
Whatever level of formality you require for your event, Hog Roast Lewisham has a menu that is just right. To book in today, simply let us know your party size, date, and location and we can do the rest.
