We used The Roasting Pig for a three-day corporate event with over 200 visitors. Steve quickly responded to our initial enquiry and efficiently secured our booking. Dylan served the hog roasts throughout the event and his service and communication was fantastic. The food was delicious, fresh and served with a smile. Great feedback from our visitors and we look forward to welcoming The Roasting Pig team again next year. Faultless experience from start to finish - thank you!

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!

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.

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.

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.
