Catered with pizzas for our wedding party at home. Service was absoultely fantastic - great communication before the event, fairly priced, and I got a call two weeks before to confirm everything and to go through any questions. On site the team were professional, courteous and most importantly, made fantastic pizzas! We are super impressed with all elements of the service and would gladly use them again for a future event. Thanks to Steve, Dylan and the team - if I could give ten stars I would!

The Roasting Pig was absolutely fantastic! Weve had many guests commend us on our choice!
Dylan arrived perfectly on time, got set up quickly, interacted perfectly with the guests and served probably the best hog roast cob Ive ever had!
He then ensured everything remaining was properly packed and ready for us to take for some lovely morning cobs.
Thank you again!

Just wanted to comment on the fabulous service we received. All communication was sent in a timely manner. I was provided with all the information I needed and prompted to think about people attending with food allergies and specific requirements.
The price was more than fair and the service excellent
I would definitely recommend this company
Completely forgot to say the food was excellent...

We had the roasting pig for a garden party this weekend, to celebrate our wedding. Simon was absolutely brilliant, from setting up the roast halfway down the garden(a bit of a trek), nothing was too much trouble, he went the extra mile wherever he could. The pork was delicious, and the sides were perfect. Overall one of the best hog roasts we have ever had. Thank you so much!!

We hired the Roasting Pig Company this weekend for my daughter's christening.
I don't usually write reviews but I wanted to share our experience. It is safe to say the hog roast and pizza's were the best we have ever had. Glorious, mouthwatering food, competitive prices and very approachable, friendly guys. We would not hesitate to recommend the team and will be hiring again for any future events we have. Well done Steve and the team! Thank you for making our day even more special than it already was.

A huge thank you to the Roasting Pig for catering for our evening wedding reception. They quickly fed all of our 250 guests and everyone was raving about how amazing the hog roast was. Would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a hog roast and we will definitely use the Roasting Pig for any future parties!
