If you’re planning your wedding and starting to think about what to feed your guests, we’ve got something you’ll want to hear about…
At Hog Roast Harrogate, we know a thing or two about putting on a brilliant feast – and we believe wedding food should feel just as special as the occasion itself. That’s why we created our Alfresco Menu, one of our most popular spreads by a mile. It brings together the generous, convivial feel of a hog roast with a few extra touches that make it particularly well suited to a wedding celebration.
While hog roasts are often seen as a fairly casual dining option, let’s not forget they were once a staple of royal banquets. And even today, the appeal of a whole pig roasting low and slow over an open fire is hard to beat – especially when Hog Roast Harrogate is behind the grill! We carefully select the finest pigs for our events, scoring the skin and rubbing it with salt to achieve that gloriously crisp crackling while keeping the meat inside beautifully juicy. The drippings are put to good use, too, enriching the sage and onion stuffing cooking beneath with deliciously savoury flavours, while our homemade applesauce brings a welcome hit of sweetness to balance all that richness.
And you don’t have to worry about any of your guests feeling left out either. Our Alfresco Menu effortlessly caters for vegetarian and vegan guests with grilled vegetable kebabs or BBQ-pulled jackfruit burgers, while freshly prepared coleslaw, seasonal green leaf salad, tomato and mozzarella salad and your choice of potato dish complete the spread.
What really gives the Alfresco Menu its own character, though, is everything that surrounds the main event. Guests can tuck into an eye-catching grazing table or individual antipasti platters, filled with Italian cold cuts, aromatic cheeses, olives, artisan breads and an assortment of dips and drizzles. It’s a lovely way to add a little Mediterranean flair while giving everyone something to snack on as they mingle. Then, when it’s time to finish things off with something sweet, you can choose two delicious desserts, from chocolate-smothered profiteroles and fluffy cheesecakes to refreshing fruit salads and more.
If you’re looking for a wedding menu that combines rustic charm with a more refined touch, we can’t stress enough how much of a brilliant option the Alfresco Menu is.
