Hog Roast Newquay couldn’t have dreamed up a better way to start August than with a wedding booking landing in the diary – so honestly, we felt pretty lucky when this one came through.
A hundred guests, one very happy couple and a brief that sounded simple enough on paper: keep it relaxed, but make sure it still feels like a wedding. We hear that a lot, actually – more than you might think. So we knew almost immediately that our Gourmet BBQ Menu was the answer.
It’s British BBQ, but with a bit more polish than your usual back-garden effort. Free-range meat, sourced locally from farms that actually care about welfare standards, and veg picked out by hand from local greengrocers rather than pulled off some wholesaler’s list. It might sound obvious, but trust us when we say that freshness shows up in the food. Guests can always tell the difference, and it’s what makes Hog Roast Newquay a popular choice for all sorts of events across the region.
For this wedding, the couple went with our homemade British beef burgers, which never seem to go out of fashion, plus our chef’s own sausages, thick and properly seasoned, plus Thai-spiced chicken kebabs that disappeared faster than anyone could keep track of. And then there were the spareribs – marinated and sticky enough that half the guests were still licking sauce off their fingers ten minutes later. Veggie burgers and plant-based sausages were on hand too, so nobody not eating meat was left standing at the edge of the buffet wondering what was for them. Fried onions and melted cheese sat out as extras, and Greek salad, homemade coleslaw, and a mix of sweet potato and classic fries rounded out the rest.
By the end of the night, the couple were absolutely buzzing, and the guests kept drifting back to Hog Roast Newquay’s buffet table well into the evening until every dish was picked clean.
What a way to start the month – we’re sure it’s only going to get better from here on. If you want to be part of our August event highlights, get in touch now and get something booked in.
