Besides the occasional rain shower and blusterous breeze, Doncaster has experienced a sunny start to November! With temperatures peaking at 16 degrees (a.k.a. shorts and t-shirt weather for us Northerners!), our clients have been able to continue enjoying their events outdoors!
Earlier in the month, the Hog Roast Parkgate team left our HQ in the early hours of the morning so that they could help Catherine and Stuart with their wedding celebrations.
The couple, who had organised a traditional wedding at one of Yorkshire’s most luxurious 18th-century buildings, had wanted to make the most of the gorgeous landscapes surrounding the remote mansion, and so they had asked if it would be possible to have the meal served outdoors.
Hog Roast Parkgate’s catering manager, Steven, assured the pair that their request wasn’t an unusual one. But, so as to ensure the guests’ comfort on the day and prevent the food from getting soaked if the weather did indeed take a turn for the worse, he suggested the inclusion of one of our marquees. Catherine and Stuart were really pleased with Steven’s attention to detail, and on the day of the wedding, they were pleasantly surprised to see just how spacious our marquees actually are!
All 100 guests were able to fit inside the tent with ease, where they were treated to a scrumptious feast courtesy of Steven and the Hog Roast Parkgate gang. Our caterers presented the group with a selection of yummy canape options, followed by a three-course meal, which began with homemade soup with warm crusty bread rolls, followed by a hog roast, free-range turkey or grilled vegetable kebabs with a variety of side dishes to choose from.
The newlyweds and their guests had so many great things to say about the meal. From the punctuality in which it was served to the presentation, the flavours, and even the incredible views surrounding them, everything was absolutely spot on.
Hog Roast Parkgate concluded this delightful feast with vacherins of strawberries and passion fruit cream and sticky toffee pudding, followed by slices of wedding cake, which were dressed in fresh cream and berries.
