THE OLD KENT BARN
WEDDING SHOW
SUNDAY 5th APRIL 2009
We prepared a 45 kilo pig and set the spit turning at 0530.
The weather was clearing as the mist rose over the
Old Kent Barn.
The Hog ready to go !
The Hog part way through cooking
The hog was taken off the spit at 12pm and by 1-30pm had been completely consumed by visitors who queued patiently for a taste.
We served and produced in excess of 230 bread rolls / baguettes with pork, crackling and apple sauce and 40 + bread rolls with BBQ sausages and onions.
This event was a massive success for us and we would like to thank everyone who viewed and subsequently sampled our Hog Roast.
A big thanks also to the 'couples' who specifically requested a formal quote for a Hog Roast for their wedding event.
October 2008 - Wedding at Temple Ewell, Dover
Pipe Major John F.J. Spoore RVM - The Gordon Highlanders.
We had the great privilege of meeting John at the wedding of Annabel & Ross Moat held in Temple Ewell Sept 2008.
John piped the bride & groom into the marquee as they arrived back from the church, a truly memorable moment.
John was Personal Piper to the Queen Mother for five years between 1985 and 1990 playing for her every year on her birthday, he also came out of retirement to play at her funeral on 5 April 2002.
