Not many couples can say they’ve been married for 60 years! In fact, a Diamond Wedding Anniversary is a true rarity with only a tiny percentage of UK couples reaching this monumental milestone. So, when it does happen, it’s a huge cause for celebration! And what better way to mark the occasion than with good food, great company, and a whole lot of fun?
Hog Roast Hull was beyond thrilled to be part of Flora and Eddie’s special day last Saturday, helping them celebrate their incredible 60-year marriage!
The celebrations were organised by their wonderful family, who wanted to give Flora and Eddie a day they would never forget. Annabelle, the couple’s daughter, took the reins on the catering and worked closely with our very own catering manager, Jon, to create the perfect menu for the day.
The venue chosen for the occasion was a local bowling club, which was decked out in stunning black and silver décor. Faux diamonds sparkled on every dining table, and a giant balloon arch proudly displayed “60 Years Married!” It was truly a glitzy affair, fit for a couple who’ve spent six decades together.
As soon as Hog Roast Hull arrived, we set up in a cosy corner of the hall, ready to whip up a mouthwatering feast. Jon and the team dove into action, preparing an epic spread that would satisfy even the most discerning appetites.
As the guests arrived, our serving staff got straight to work, making sure everyone had a chance to sample our delicious canapés. Mini pizzas, quiches, and freshly made Indian bites were an instant hit. For the main event, we served up an authentic hog roast with stuffing, crackling, and applesauce, alongside succulent roast chicken with chipolata sausages. We didn’t forget about the vegetarians either, offering BBQ-pulled jackfruit rolls that were full of flavour. Fresh salads, creamy coleslaw, and buttered new potatoes completed the spread.
As the party kickstarted, the energy in the room soared! Despite being in their 80s, Flora and Eddie were the life of the party, dancing, singing karaoke, and thoroughly enjoying themselves. Hog Roast Hull‘s buffet was picked clean by the end of the evening, and everyone left with smiles on their faces.
It was an absolute honour to be a part of Flora and Eddie’s Diamond Wedding Anniversary celebration. Here’s to many more years of happiness and love!
