Ever wondered want goes into a full day of wedding catering? Well with Hog Roast Wimborne you can learn as today we are going to take you through the steps and processes of the nation’s favourite hog roast catering service and with a real life example from one of our own weddings.
This was a wedding over Halloween weekend held at the brilliant Moonacre Dorset wedding venue. Anytime we get a wedding request Hog Roast Wimborne will do our due diligence in learning about the venue and how our dining can best be set up there. Typically our hog roasting services work best when conducted outdoors. More ventilation for our signature hog roast and a better effect for guests with the flames on our roaster – especially as it gets to nighttime. Luckily for us in this instance, Moonacre is one such venue that is prized on its outdoor camping areas.
The next thing is the menu. Our hosts here had requested several parts to their wedding dining experience from Hog Roast Wimborne. The first was a canape service. This is a popular one with big weddings as it gives a good welcome to the reception and offers guests a good way to mingle and meet. With our canapes our head chef Jack will be on site early to get everything nice and prepared from fresh. The party here enjoyed our pan seared fillets of beef, handmade gourmet sausages, roasted halloumi and tomato crostini, and mini Indian snack bites. Each goes out on a platter from fresh for our servers to rotate around the room, ensuring every guest gets a quality experience with dishes that have not had to sit out for a while.
Then came our main course, which as it was our hog roast had been cooking since the morning. On our mobile roasting machine the hog roast will take around 6-8 hours, so we start early and keep it going as we arrive on site. Guests get the spectacle; we get to serve again from fresh for an even better experience.
Our work didn’t end with the main buffet, as evening guests were then due to arrive to our antipasti grazing tables ready for them. Another fresh preparation of finely cut Italian meats, cheeses, artisanal breads, and delicious salad options for a colourful arrangement that leaves the night and our service out on a high!
