Your Sussex Wedding - Jun/Jul 2019 (Issue 79)

CATERING 95 THE HOG ROAST “For a relaxed, festival-style wedding, a hog roast or rotisserie is a great centrepiece that guests will remember,” says Liz. “By Ambience can provide all the trimmings needed to create your perfect personalised portion of piggy!” Pink Pig Catering is offering some new choices for its hog roast this year, such as porchetta – a stuffed rolled pork belly served with pesto and chilli sauce, olive oil, lime juice and lambs leaf on a French stick. “Absolute perfection” says Rebecca. Own the night The speeches are over, and the guests have graced the dancefloor. By this time, your nearest and dearest will be looking around for a little smackerel of something, and your evening revellers will need to line their stomachs! What to do? Fear not – our professionals are here with all of the answers. pinkpigcatering.co.uk BOWL FOOD Liz says: “These wholesome, hearty meals in smaller servings are perfect for mingling guests to carry around. Our favourites are slow-cooked spiced lamb tagine with couscous; salmon, prawn and mussel paella; and Thai green vegetable curry with steamed rice.” byambience.co.uk FAST FOOD Rebecca says: “I believe that most guests will be after a snack in the evening rather than another meal or they’ll miss out on the dancing and celebrating! Think bacon or chip butties, a cheese tower with homemade chutneys, posh mini fish and chips or platters of charcuterie.” WOK AROUND THE CLOCK Pippa says: “An entirely noodle-based wedding breakfast might be risky, so our evening do wok boxes allow your love of Asian cuisine to shine through. You can have all your favourite foods on one day – roast beef AND pizza? Totally doable!” pinkpigcatering.co.uk Sweet treats Food can also be fun. Bring a smile to everybody’s face with our roundup of yummy delights available for all-day grazing. ON YER BIKE If you’d like to offer a canapé alternative for the sweet- toothed or a nostalgic dessert, you can’t go far wrong with ice cream. Allow us to introduce Betty, Fab Food For You’s fabulously retro ice cream trike. Enjoy the luxury Cornish dairy ice cream, complete with sauces, flakes, sprinkles, chocolate buttons and lots more. Not just for the kids, she also serves alcoholic ice creams and cocktail sorbets. THE WALL Never was there a more beautiful juxtaposition of words in the English language than “doughnut” and “wall.” Imagine 108 doughnuts just waiting to be snapped up by hungry party guests. Well, the lovely folk at Parkside Events are there to make that dream come true! parksideevents.co.uk SWEET SURRENDER Make your guests feel special with a sweetie cart or sweet ferris wheel. These are both available for you to display your own treats in or can be provided complete with sweets. Alternatively, for Ferrero Rocher fans, a bespoke heart-shaped stand for this choccy heaven is also available to hire from Parkside Events.
