my H2B and I are just back from our caterer as we were choosing our menus. When we got to the buffet section, we noticed that they do a 'scottish buffet' which is basically rolls and sausage, bacon, egg etc instead of the usual sandwiches and quiche. If you were a guest at a wedding and they had hot rolls for their buffet how would you react? As we are thinking about having them as they are a lot cheaper than the usual buffet option.

Thanks x

We're having bacon rolls and potato wedges in the evening for our reception buffet and everyone who I've mentioned it to love the idea.
They are being filled up with canapes and a 3 course meal during the day and then a good bacon roll to soak up some alcohol in the evening. You cant go wrong with it in my opinion x

We had sausage, bacon and cheese sandwiches for our evening buffet. Cheese for the vegetarians, and separate sausages and bacon because I don't like bacon. They were very popular ... so much that I didn't get one!

veggie burgers and salad xx

Yeah we're the same, veggie burgers for veggies but we don't actually have any veggies coming, we're just having them in case x

We are (hopefully) getting married at a venue by Loch Lomond and they have confirmed that they can alter my package from finger buffet in evening to Square Sausage or Bacon Rolls.

Normally the first then I do when i get back home to Glasgow is have a roll n square sausage and a glass bottle of Irn Bru so it will keep me happy! Wonder if they will allow we a crate of Irn Bru lol

Munchkinpie, did you go for the same place as me? They are really flexible with stuff like that :-)

xxxxxxxx

Yummy!
Defo go for it!
xx

aww Kaya thats rubbish - i dont think we have any veggies, but we will defo have a veggie option. As you are a vegetarian, what would you like to have at this kind of buffet? x

We went to a wedding in June that had them and they went down really well, so much so that we decided to go for them rather than have the hog roast (will also save us a huge fortune as well). There are chips on the side and veggie skewers for the veggies as well xx

We can't decide weather to have a 2 course sit down meal with our cake as dessert for the breakfast or a chinese buffet or a hog roast all with our cake as dessert. Then we are only having bacon rolls and mini chip cones for our evening food so I say go for it :-)

we also have a sweet/dessert buffet for the evening!

im having a standard buffett in the evening just as it was a great deal with the caterer but if i was a guest id be well chuffed with a roll and square sausage and a can of irn bru lol or a roll and bacon people like this sort of thing when they are drinking so i think its a great idea xxx

Janetx71 we should totally have can's of Irn Bru!!!!!!!! Lol what a fab idea!

TBH We have only got 30 max extra evening guests.... My work colleages and the rest of H2B's squadron so the bacon roll option is perfect for what we're looking for. If we were having more guests in the evening I agree we'd probably need more munchies.... I'm hoping there will be sweets left on the sweetie table too! Lol xxxx

Most evening buffets are served about an hour after the evening guests are due to arrive anyway!
Ive never been to a wedding where the evening buffet is already out when I get there??

Or do you mean bacon rolls are not enough? lol

yes we are! i dont think bacon butties are enough if u have loads of eveenin guest if theres just a few then bacon rools be gud for 12 ish wen u had loads ot drink

i think i would like them!! however we have a finger buffett instead lol xx

Lol yeah a buffet is needed with 100 guests definetly! We haven't completely decided...... another option was a cheese table with homemade bread crackers fruit etc but H2B thought the cheese might smell in the heat (June)...... I cant think of anything else xxxx

Was it good? xx

Maybe we should reconsider that option and hope its not too hot in the evening lol xx

Right next to an airconditioning unit! lol

Just come back from a wedding and we had sausage, bacon and chip sandwiches and they went down a treat!

for the eve we are doing bacon and sausage rolls with chips. its the cheaper option at £4 per person. i think a lot of people are going for this option =-]

we're seriously considering this option...not a fan on "traditional" buffets.
me and h2b are caterers (not doing our own wedding though!!) and have a wedding in april next year who are having this for evening reception. x

yes any other ideas for the buffet would be great, as my mum says not everyone will want something heavy to eat at that time as most will either have had canapes and a 4 course meal at the wedding, or have not long finished their dinner before heading to the evening reception. So having a buffet where they can pick and choose may be a better option.

Still got a bit of time before anything is set is stone, thanks for the replies. x
