The team catered our wedding reception and the food was delicious! There was plenty of the hog roast and sides to go round (including some people going back for thirds!) and they were also able to provide perfect pizzas later on to fuel all our dancing. The team were quick to respond to any queries and checked in with us before the big day so there was no stress on our part. Would highly recommend: fantastic food, clear and prompt communication, and a great price. Thank you for the excellent service!

We used the The Roasting Pig for our sons birthday party last week and it was first class service from start to finish. Dylan, our chef, was brilliant and the food was absolutely delicious! Loads of it too - we had so many compliments about it. Cannot recommend The Roasting Pig highly enough - will certainly be booking again for my next party.

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...

Really excellent hog roast company. Dylan set off in plenty of time so was able to navigate to where we had our do (the middle of nowhere!) in good time. He was able to accommodate being outdoors at nighttime and left us all the spare meat and bread, which we had for breakfast. The meat was great, as was the stuffing and apple sauce. The booking was very hassle free, as was paying and all the setting up, eating etc. Highly recommend the Roasting Pig.

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.

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!!

Requested the services of Steve & The Roasting Pig for an outdoor event with 150 people. The company was extremely helpful, very well organised and the food was excellent. We received lots of compliments from our guests. It's rare to find companies that simply turn up and perform the way they did. Very helpful and very friendly. I would recommend The Roasting Pig to anyone without hesitation!

We had the Roasting Pig for our wedding reception on the 26th August. Charlie and team were fantastic from start to finish, the timings were perfect from our arrival canaps, to the pizzas for our wedding breakfast and the evening hog roast it was all served when we had asked it to be, the food was absolutely delicious and every single one of my guests commented on how lovely the food was and how brilliant the team were, fantastic value for money they were worth every penny, 100% happy to recommend them to anybody looking for stone baked pizzas, hog roast and definitely something different for your wedding breakfast! Amazing!

I hired the roasting pig for my wedding reception and everybody said how great the food was especially the pork and apple cobs. My veggie guests were all very happy with the veggie burgers and the fact that the catering assistant changed gloves before making the veggie burger without even being asked. I personally thought the food was amazing and all of the left over food was made into cobs and packed up for us. Great service and arrived on time I highly recommend.

We just used the Roasting Pig for our wedding and they were fabulous. Nothing went to waste and we were happy to hear the pig was UK bred and it's welfare was important to the Roasting Pig team.
Charlie who served our function was prompt and polite with our guests. The set up was well organised and efficient. They also catered for members of our party who were vegetarian and gluten free.
Cannot recommend these guys enough.
