Abbotside Events can help you reduce the stress of planning your wedding day, not only can be provide a catering option that fits your budget and type of wedding we can through our contacts arrange a fully licensed outside bar, marquee hire, crockery and cutlery hire, furniture and linen hire, lighting and toilets should you need.
Hog roasts and spit roasts fit all occasions from an informal wedding to country house silver service. If your budget is limited in these difficult times a hog roast buffet can feed 150 people in a very economical manner. Or we can offer a higher level of service starting with a Champagne and Canape reception followed by a four or five course waitress served wedding breakfast.
These two options are examples of what we can do. Nothing is set in stone and we will work with you to provide the most suitable wedding catering for your day.
A more economical option for wedding catering, can be cooked fresh on site or brought along (within certain distances) ready cooked. A Chef and assistant will layout the buffet and carve the hog roast for your guests.
