With so many weddings being cancelled or postponed indefinitely due to the continued uncertainty of the pandemic, lots of couple have been left in limbo wondering what to do for the best. This was the case for Claire and Tim, who were initially supposed to get married in May. Whilst they hadn’t planned a large or elaborate wedding reception, having to cancel everything was still very upsetting for them. As soon as small weddings were permitted to take place again, they realised they needed to make a decision, and being the decisive types, they opted to go ahead with their wedding but completely rethink the reception. They decided that they would host their reception outdoors with limited numbers and a friend kindly offered them the use of their large garden. They felt that they needed to do everything themselves in order to pull it off, including the catering, and having had a memorable hog roast experience in the past, they decided to hire a hog roast machine. As Tim’s brother was a chef and used to catering for groups, they asked him to step up to take to helm, which he was only too happy to accept!

After getting the green light from Tim’s brother, they wasted no time in getting in touch with us here at Hog Roast Helston. The couple were looking for a versatile piece of equipment that could simultaneously produce perfect pork and prepare other dishes such as jacket potatoes, without the whole process being too labour intensive for the chef. Was this possible, they wondered? We informed them it would definitely be possible if they hired one of Hog Roast Helston’s multifunctional Platinum hog roast machines! The couple were delighted, and so was their chef for the day when we delivered the Platinum ready for the reception. He said it was the most efficient, effective and easy piece of cooking equipment he had ever used and that he would love to have one for his own restaurant! The bride and groom were equally pleased with the results that Tim’s brother achieved with the help of the Platinum and they had a lovely DIY wedding reception. They were very glad they decided to go ahead with their wedding and absolutely delighted that they had chosen to hire one of Hog Roast Helston’s impressive Platinum machines!
