What a brilliant summer wedding season it has been this year for Hog Roast Tenterden. Even after doing this for several decades now, it might well be fair to say that 2026 has actually been one of the best summer season’s to date for our wedding catering. It has been weeks of just exceptional sunshine and warmth right the way throughout (though we would be welcome to just a little bit of rain and breeze for at least a few days) which has led to just so many perfect wedding events.

One more to tell you about comes from earlier this month as the Hog Roast Tenterden team catered for the wedding of the lovely Kat and Chris at the beginning of August. All summer long we have had the joy of meeting many bride and grooms all around Dartford. Kat and Chris were another joy to meet and cater for; they were well on board for every suggestion that our head chef Jason made and were more than happy to chime in with their own suggestions and wants, leading to a menu that was both them and us – the perfect combo for any special day. You want a little bit of the bride and groom in each wedding menu, while still being quintessentially Hog Roast Tenterden – that is what leads to the real magic on wedding days!

Speaking of being quintessentially Hog Roast Tenterden, our wedding special for the day was of course our signature hog roast. A favourite on this weekend as it has been all summer long at weddings, our hog roast looked incredible cooking in the authentic spit style out in the sun. Guests surrounded it just to get photos before Jason then had it nicely carved up for serving with crispy crackling, sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce, mixed salad, tomato and mozzarella salad, red cabbage coleslaw, herb dressed new potatoes, and grilled veg and halloumi skewers with a cooling tzatziki dip and tangy sweet chilli sauce.
Another excellent wedding for the 2026 books. Our thanks once more to Kat and Chris for choosing Hog Roast Tenterden for your special day!
