Hog roast or fish and chips for evening guests? Opinions please!

OH and I are having a disagreement over what food we serve at the evening reception.  The wedding breakfast is going to be a conventional 3 course sit down affair.

OH reeaaally wants a hog roast however I like the idea of having a posh fish and chips van (friend's BF owns a company that will do this).  Some of our guests don't eat pork (one is Muslim and a few just don't like pork or they are veggie).

My argument is most people eat chips - and we might get a discount if my friend's BF can do it - however OH has always wanted the hog...

What do you all think?? x

Hmm - I love hog roasts so my vote would be for that.  And if your OH has always wanted it, it would sway my vote.

But...  if you can get a discount, the chip van would be appealing.  Our mates had this last year and it was a great success.

Tricky!  And my post hasn't really helped much has it 

Sorry I'm with your OH,  I love the idea of a hog roast and wanted one at our wedding but OH not keen.  I'm a veggie so wouldn't have eaten it anyway.

Personally, i'd have the hog roast, mainly because i have an unhealthy obsession of apple sauce and crackling, and i hate fish.

But, if you have fish and chip 'contacts', that makes sense too! I always thought it seemed a pretty cool idea, i wish i liked fish and chips! The issue with your Muslim guests is an important one too.

Not if it's only one    I assume there'd be a choice for veggies/people who didn't eat pork anyway.   

For me it would boil down to budget and how important food was to the pair of you.  In other words - pick your battles lol! X

Id have either... we are hoping to have fish and chips, pie and chips or sausage and chips at our wedding breakfast (mainly cause they all are english and we are getting married on st george's day)

hth

I like the thought of a a fish a chips van!   But a hog roast sounds fab.  Whats the cheapest?

What about a lamb roast? I could ask my parents if they'll sell you a cheap organic lamb

(I can't find you on FB?!)

ooh la la:

Thanks for all your opinions ladies!  OLL I've deleted meself off FB for a little while - was getting a tad political with a few people and was getting fed up of it!  Might venture back at some point but looong story as to why I've deleted my account (shan't bore you with it!) Lamb roast is a good idea too OLL :) x

Hog roast chappy said he would do veggie and fish BBQ alternatives for non piggy eaters but when my friend suggested the chish & fip van I LOVED it as I haven't been to a wedding that's had one.  It might not happen as the fish and chip van might be at Bestival that day. 

Although I love the idea of fish & chips, I would have to say hog roast is a better option. Just to throw in some more confusion - I always liked the idea of bacon and sausage butties.

I think Im in the minority here, but out of the two it would definately be fish and chips for me. Love love love them, would pick it everytime x

We had a hog roast and veggie paella and everyone loved it!

Im having a hog roast at my wedding so my vote is biased!

Hog roast, definitely.  It's the one thing I wish we could have given our guests in the evening.

I love the idea of a fish & chip van & I'm afraid I'm 1 of those people that doesn't like eating food that still looks like the animal (like fish with faces!) so I wouldn't like getting the meat.

Hard decsion to make, hope it works out
