Weddings sure have changed a lot over the years, haven’t they? We’re old enough to remember when nearly every wedding followed the exact same script, complete with a near-identical menu – soup or prawn cocktail to start, steak or chicken to follow (and you’d count yourself lucky to spot a vegetarian option anywhere on the card), then a slice of wedding cake to finish.

Making sure the non-meat-eaters were just as properly taken care of, Hog Roast Wokingham rustled up grilled veggie skewers, plus vegan pulled jackfruit smothered in hickory and served on a soft cob. And because decent sides are non-negotiable, seasonal vegetables, buttery corn cobbettes and a mix of sweet potato and classic
fries also made it onto the serving table for guests to help themselves.
