With wedding season here that also means it is the season for stag and hen dos as well. The old tradition of the stag and hen do is a brilliant one; one last night of freedom where you each get together with groomsmen/bridesmaids and friends and family and enjoy a celebratory night or weekend away. As a wedding caterer, we at Chef and Griddle are often asked if we can conduct a stag party dinner, sometimes even as a wrapped in part of our overall wedding service, and the answer is of course yes, we love to do stag and hen dos!
If ever there was a reminder of just how much fun we can have with a stag do it would be the one our Chef and Griddle team were invited out to this past week. Celebrating the wedding of the soon to be Mr and Mrs Lars, the Chef and Griddle team were invited to provide a set course dinner for the groom, Kyle Lars, last weekend. We had actually already gotten to know the future Mr and Mrs Lars a few months prior when they had us in for their engagement party last year, and it is there where we met Kyle’s best man Liam who then remembered how much everyone had enjoyed our hog roast buffet and contacted us to come out for Kyle’s stag. We were of course all too happy to do so.
The stags were set up for a brilliant weekend, so as part of it Liam arranged for a more formal sit-down dinner before the more ‘chaotic’ festivities began out in the town centre as the party headed out to the casino. The theme, therefore, for our dinner service was to be a Casino Royale theme as the boys all came down in their best tux’s and black-tie suits while our chefs prepared our formal hog roast dining experience for them.
It ended up setting the tone for what we hear was an excellent night out – with some big winnings from the casino too as we understand it! – so we would just like to say a thank you to Liam for inviting us out and a hearty congratulations to Kyle when the big day comes!
