We hired the Far Pig company for our wedding party. Ash was great at getting back to me, especially as we changed the plans for our party a number of times, but he was very accommodating. The team on the day were great. Very warm and professional. Turned up in good time and the food was fantastic. Would highly recommend.

The Fat Pig catered our wedding, we had a hog roast in the day time and then they did a bbq for the evening. The price was very competitive. There was more than enough food to go round and everyone commented how amazing it was! Would highly recommend!

Our event was at lunchtime which meant that the chefs had to be with us by 6.00am. They arrived on time and with minimum of fuss or disruption to the neighbours they set everything up and served 250 people. There was plenty of food, the quality was good and the service was professional and friendly. I would recommend The Fat Pig for any event.

The team got caught behind a motorway pile up which resulted in them arriving around 90 minutes later than planned. However, they kept me updated at all times, and actually served only 15 minutes later than originally scheduled. Everyone was very complimentary about the food and the guys were very professional. Happy to recommend.
