Some wedding celebrations are so good, they deserve more than just one day — and James’s recovery wedding BBQ at the stunning Fernhill Castle proved exactly that. With 80 guests gathered on a warm Saturday afternoon, the atmosphere was relaxed, joyful, and still buzzing with the energy from the wedding itself.
By 4pm, the castle grounds were filled with the irresistible aromas of our gourmet BBQ. Guests strolled across the lawns, champagne glasses in hand, as the sound of sizzling grills and happy conversation blended together. The beauty of a post-wedding BBQ is its informality — it allows everyone to kick back, share stories from the big day, and enjoy fantastic food in a laid-back setting.
While this was a BBQ rather than a full roast, it carried all the heart and flavour of a Hog Roast Skipton celebration — generous portions, a beautiful outdoor setting, and food that brings people together. Burgers and sausages hot from the grill, tender marinated chicken, and fresh seasonal sides kept plates full and guests smiling. There was something special about watching friends and family gathered under the castle’s grand stone walls, balancing plates and swapping wedding-day highlights.
Events like this remind us why a Hog Roast Skipton or gourmet BBQ works so well for milestone occasions. They’re not just about feeding people; they’re about creating moments — like the spontaneous group toast just as the sun dipped behind the castle towers, or the bursts of laughter coming from guests trying to eat and dance at the same time.
As the evening drew in, the BBQ slowly wound down, but the warmth of the day lingered. James’s recovery wedding BBQ wasn’t just a follow-up to the wedding, it was an event, full of personality, connection, and flavour.
To the happy couple and your new chapter. May your life together be as joyful and flavour packed as your wedding weekend. And for anyone planning a relaxed yet unforgettable celebration, whether it’s a BBQ or Hog Roast Skipton, you can’t go wrong with great food and even greater company.
