The dishes below are our most popular choices for

weddings here at the Ferry House Inn.

This is not a definitive list, so if you would like

something else – or you have eaten a dish here you

would like, please let us know. Once you’ve

shortlisted your menu, you email it to us so we can

confirm it is suitable. Your menu, once agreed, will

then be confirmed to you in writing.

Food plays a huge part of every wedding – every

Wedding menu we cater for is completely different –

from afternoon teas to formal three courses. The

food we will serve at your wedding will be

memorable for all the right reasons – 1/3rd of our

wedding bookings come from previous Ferry House

wedding guests, and another 1/3rd from restaurant

visitors – a true testament to the superb quality of

food our chefs create.

We produce on our family farm our own Beef, Lamb

and shoot our own Game for our menus. We have

an extensive kitchen garden supplying us with

homegrown vegetables, herbs and salads, and we

use as much locally sourced food as we possibly can.

Not sure what to choose? No problem, book a menu

tasting with us to help you decide. Our Head Chef will

cook for you, and discuss the best menu to suit your wedding.

request).

Guests will be invited up a table at a time for self-service – this option is less formal and therefore

only suitable for certain styles of wedding.

For afters, please select a choice of 2 desserts for self service by your guests.

*Please note, an equal proportion of each will be offered i.e. for 70 guests, we’d provide 35

cheesecake and 35 chocolate tart – therefore some guests on the last tables may only have a

choice of 1 option, if one choice proves popular with earlier tables…

If you choose just one choice for dessert, this will be waited to the table, which is preferable as in

reality it helps the flow of the meal.

As with all our food, the bespoke nature means we can cater for special dietary requirements or

unusual requests. We have catered for entirely Vegan weddings, Polish cuisine, a New York theme

menu and – our favourite – a seasonal ‘Harty’ menu – focused on the main ingredients we ‘home

grow’ (Beef & Game).

Nearly as important as the food!

Whether you include drinks for your guests is your choice –

and you can choose whatever drinks you’d like to serve as

welcome drinks, at the wedding breakfast or throughout

the day.

Our Main Bar is open to the public (unless you wish to opt

for exclusive hire) and your wedding guests from 11:00 to

23:15.

Our new wedding bar will be available from summer 2015.

The private bar will be open from 12:00 – 23:15 for

weddings using the large day marquee, or from 19:00 –

23:15 for weddings using the small evening marquee. Weddings having their receptions just in the

barn will block the bar access, therefore, this is not currently an option for weddings not having a

marquee option.

The Cart has become an important part of Ferry House Inn

wedding history! We will serve your welcome/reception

drinks from here, outside on the patio (weather

permitting). Or if you would like to provide a mini self-

service bar we can stock this with drinks for your day

reception (space permitting depending on the layout of

your wedding).

If you wish to provide guests with a drink after your ceremony or on arrival we will stock the cart

with up to 3 drinks of your choice. Options which work well include: Pimms, Prosecco, bottled Beer

(Peroni, Corona or Becks). Ribena for tiny kids, and Fentimans for older kids/non-drinkers.

Self-service jam jars prove popular – we will set up 2-3 large Kilner

jars with taps for guests to help themselves. Options which are

popular include: No 1 Pimms, Special Edition Elderflower Pimms,

Fruit based cocktails or mocktails.

Want something a bit special? We can add a blackberry to your

Prosecco, pop a stripy straw in your jam jar, personalised tags to tie

on, serve the girls pink cider and the boy’s apple cider – we will

work with your ideas.

We can serve to the table the usual sparkling offering’s for your

toast – Prosecco, Cava, Asti, Champagne. Fancy something a bit

special? Hush Heath’s Balfour Brut Rose is a gorgeous pink

sparkling wine that really has a special edge – it is served on the

Orient Express, British Air ways First Class and was served to the

QUEEN at her Jubilee!!

We have an extensive list of wines available, from

all over the world including some fabulous

varieties from Kent.

Don’t fancy wine? We offer an elegant range of

still ciders (apple or strawberry) which are the

perfect alternative to wines.

All tables have iced tap water as standard.

Informal weddings may prefer informal speeches

outside - this creates an intimate feel but is

obviously weather dependant!

We have the following items which you are able to use free of

charge – all items subject to availability.
