The wedding day might be the headline act, but why wait until you’re actually walking down the aisle to start celebrating? A pre-wedding dinner, or rehearsal dinner if you prefer, is a brilliant way to kick off the festivities early, giving you real time with the people who matter most before everything gets a bit hectic.
It’s also a lovely way to properly welcome guests who’ve travelled from further afield, especially if it’s been a while since you’ve seen them. And with everyone gathered somewhere more relaxed, it’s a great way to break the ice between family and friends meeting for the first time, meaning one less slightly awkward introduction to worry about on the actual day.
Then, of course, there’s the food. It probably won’t shock you to hear that any excuse for a good meal gets our full approval, and a pre-wedding dinner is the perfect moment to make a bit of a fuss before the main event kicks off. Whether you’re picturing something small and intimate or inviting a whole crowd, Hog Roast Minehead is here to handle the catering and give your celebrations a genuinely tasty start.
We recently had the pleasure of catering one lovely couple’s pre-wedding dinner, which brought 50 guests together the night before their big day. With excitement already building, and everyone
And as always, we made sure the vegetarians and vegans were equally well catered for, with grilled vegetable and halloumi skewers with cooling tzatziki, and vegan pulled jackfruit burgers, while Greek salad, homemade coleslaw, potato salad and a mix of sweet potato and classic fries provided an inclusive choice of sides everyone could enjoy. Even the younger guests got their own portions of mac and cheese, which, unsurprisingly, went down very, very
well!
looking forward to the day ahead, Hog Roast Minehead’s Southern Slow Roast Menu gave them a generous spread to enjoy while they chatted about the celebrations to come.
Throughout the evening, guests tucked into a buffet of BBQ pork butt, Texan beef brisket and Cajun-spiced chicken, served with bread rolls and wraps, plus a trio of sauces ranging from smoky-sweet BBQ glaze and Cajun hot pepper through to our legendary hickory bourbon BBQ sauce.
With a room full of happy guests, a genuinely delicious spread and a wedding just hours away, it was the perfect way for the couple to spend their final evening before saying “I do”. Hog Roast Minehead was delighted to be part of the fun and we hope our delicious meal helped make the start of their wedding celebrations just as memorable as the big day itself.
