What would you rather served at a wedding? Hog roast or paella?

Trying to decide on the cuisine for 100 people!
Thanks!

hog roast is disgusting I hate pork…

Totally agree.

Hog roast.

I make paella regularly at home, so I'd prefer something I don't/can't do.

Same here. I love paella and it's so versitile.

I’m a meat eater but I couldn’t eat hog roast I find the idea disgusting . I’d be going for the veggie option if there was one

What other options as paella has far too many things for people not to like rice is a major one?

If I were at your wedding I'd try to avoid the paella as I just couldn't trust it wasn't a perfect breeding ground for all the bacteria.

The sight of an entire pig’s head sends my mind immediately to David Cameron and/or Lord of the Flies. So I’d find that a bit unromantic at a wedding. 🤣

Hog roasts are overdone. Go for a paella (vegan & meat / seafood versions).

Please provide seating, proper plates and cutlery. No one wants to stand around in posh frocks eating dinner from a paper plate whilst juggling a glass of wine.

People 'don't like rice'? Really?

Rice, chicken, vegetables, not strongly flavoured or spiced. Paella is one of the most inoffensive meals there is.

Well am veggie so…

I would be happy with either.

Rice, really? I could understand if you said seafood (solved by the vegan version), but I've never heard of anyone not liking rice! It's just a bland carrier to pick up flavours.

And any caterer focusing on hog roast will have crap, third-class veggie options.

While ai would prefer the taste of paella, hog roast has less ability to stain. I would be worried about the potential for paella spillage and then being obviously covered in food for the rest of the night.

I would go for paella.

As a vegetarian I would be disheartened at the thought of a hog roast and would not want to see it. The vegetarian option is also likely to be third rate if the caterers specialise in roasting meat.

I wouldn’t be thrilled about paella either. I would be suspicious of a vegetarian/vegan one not being properly vegetarian/vegan (animal stock??) and it’s not the most thrilling of things to eat. But of the two that would have to be my choice.

Hog roast is safer

Love paella, but hog roast for a wedding I'd say.

Paella not good if you are allergic to seafood

I love meat but hate hog roast and would be disappointed it was the only option.

Would you do chicken, chorizo and seafood in the non-veggie paella. Obviously that’ll need allergy considerations.

Neither. But rotisserie chicken and I’d be there 😝

Another vote for "neither"

Hog roast with plenty of salad but without any bread as I'm diabetic so all that rice would be an issue.
Edit: typo

Oh no. Neither sound good to me.
