Matt Sworder Chef plating wedding food

In 2025, luxury weddings are about more than just elegance they’re about meaning, sustainability, and experience. Enter the farm to fork wedding feast: a celebration of local Kent produce, curated by award-winning chef Matt Sworder and served exclusively at Byre Barn by The Corner House.


Why Local Is the New Luxury

Kent’s rich agricultural heritage offers a treasure trove of seasonal vegetables, fresh herbs, grass-fed meats, and day-boat fish. Couples are seeking more than ‘nice food’they want their menus to reflect their values. By sourcing within miles of Byre Barn, Matt Sworder crafts dishes that are fresher, more flavourful, and deeply rooted in the Kentish countryside.


“Our philosophy is simple food done well, using the best Kent has to offer. The quality speaks for itself.” – Matt Sworder


Sample Dishes to Inspire

  • Roasted Kent lamb with heritage carrots and garden mint oil

  • Asparagus and pea tartlets with local goats cheese

  • Day boat sea bass with courgette ribbons and wild garlic


Each ingredient tells a story, from the farmer who grew it to the chef who plates it.


Supporting Local, Celebrating the Season

Choosing local suppliers isn’t just sustainable, it supports the Kent economy and guarantees a unique menu no one else will have. At Byre Barn, seasonal menus evolve throughout the year, making each wedding distinct.
