But doing this on a day with 39 C or 102,2 F is no fun. We had to climb up the hill to get to the festivity and stayed up there after the ceremony quite a while. We just had 2 umbrellas to duck under and that meant a lot of bright sun. Afterwards we went down the hill to reach our cars and drove to the farmhouse cafe, where the wedding reception was held.
They have a huge inner court Yard when you step through the door and then a big former stable, where the actual Restaurant is in. Sitting outside at 39 C at 5 : 30 PM was not an option and we went inside where it was a lot cooler.
After a lot of Cold Drinks like water and other non alcoholic beverages we were ready to get to dinner.
A creamy bell pepper soup with a skewered king prawn was the start. So delicious.
Then we had time to go to the salad buffet. It was not the usual greens and tomatoes or cucumbers, but cauliflower salad with sour cream and chives, red lentil salad with lots of cumin, a chickpea salad and a tabbouleh salad. These are great in this weather and standing in bowls of ice, really refreshing.
Next course was the entree. There was a choice of a couple different plates. For the less adventures there was the German Schnitzel with different sauces. Always a winner with the older folks.
Then there was pulled pork with sweet potato fries, cherry BBQ sauce and Cole slaw. Very good. The sweet potato fries were crunchy and nicely seasoned. The pork was juicy and sauce and slaw were good.
For the whole group there was coconut tiramisu as dessert.
Since I was full and wanted to drive home, I did not try it.
