As Gus and Liz approached their pearl wedding anniversary, marking an impressive three decades of love and commitment, they knew they had to commemorate this milestone in a truly special way. With hearts full of gratitude and love, the couple decided to renew their vows in a heartfelt ceremony, surrounded by cherished family and friends.
Choosing a picturesque Queen Anne-style country house as the backdrop for their celebration, Gus and Liz set the stage for a day of romance. Nestled amidst acres of lush lawns and manicured gardens, with a serene duck pond providing a tranquil backdrop, it was the perfect setting to reaffirm their love and dedication to each other.
The ceremony, held on a sunny Saturday afternoon, was a testament to the enduring bond shared by Gus and Liz. Surrounded by their nearest and dearest, they exchanged vows once more, reflecting on the journey they had embarked upon together and the countless memories that had filled their lives with joy.
Following the heartfelt ceremony, guests gathered for a sumptuous reception, expertly catered by the talented team at Hog Roast Braintree. Led by catering manager James, our team presented the guests with a Formal Hog Roast Dining Experience, designed to indulge and delight the senses.
The culinary journey began with an array of captivating canapés, including mini quiche, smoked Scottish salmon, gourmet sausages, chicken liver parfait, and an assortment of Indian delicacies. These delectable bites set the tone for a memorable dining experience to come.
For the main course, guests were treated to a feast fit for royalty. A traditional hog roast, complete with succulent meat, crispy crackling, and homemade applesauce, took centre stage alongside whole roasted sirloin of English beef, served pink with Yorkshire puddings and rich red wine gravy.
Vegetarian guests were delighted by the grilled vegetable and halloumi kebabs, offering a flavourful alternative to the meat-centric offerings. Gourmet coleslaw, roasted new potatoes, classic Caesar salad, and heritage tomato and buffalo mozzarella salad rounded out the spread, adding colour and freshness to the table.
Bringing the feast to an end, Hog Roast Braintree served decadent desserts, comprising sticky toffee pudding and tarte au citron, followed by tea, coffee, and mints.
As the evening drew to a close, Gus and Liz couldn’t have been more thrilled with their unforgettable celebration. They expressed heartfelt gratitude to Hog Roast Braintree for delivering an impeccable spread that garnered rave reviews from all who attended.
