Booked pig and a half for our wedding for a half p

Booked pig and a half for our wedding for a half pig plus veggie options for 90 people. Too much food (which is a wonderful problem to have!). The pig was delicious and the veggie option really well received. All our guests were super happy with the roast. Only comment I would have is that in the run up to the big day - some proactive communication from the team would have been welcome. But these guys are very professional and great cooks. Would definitely book again.

We used Monika and Angel for our wedding party on

We used Monika and Angel for our wedding party on Sunday 25th June and I have to say it was the easiest and most friendly company I’ve ever dealt with. Nothing was too much trouble and they were extremely competitive. They arrived on time set everything up without any fuss and the food was absolutely delicious! They were professional to the end and cleared everything away you wouldn’t have known they had been there. We can’t recommend them enough!

The team at Pig & a Half are absolutely brilliant!

The team at Pig & a Half are absolutely brilliant! Couldn't recommend them more. They catered for our 120 person wedding, alongside doing all the bar and serving canapés. Our guests were so happy. Every step of the way the team went out of their way to make sure we had everything exactly as we wanted it on the day, including serving for vegan's and vegetarians. They could not have been more accommodating and led to the perfect wedding day. Thank you so much!!

Absolutely amazing team who helped with the cateri

Absolutely amazing team who helped with the catering for our wedding. Arrived on time, set up and were serving within the hour. The food was out of this world and nothing can compete with the smell of a hog roast around the garden making all the guests hungry! I would highly recommend Sebastian and his staff, excellent service, polite and smart. Everything you need to host is provided at an extremely high standard. We will be looking to use again for my mums 65th. Thanks again for everything on

Pig and a Half were fantastic to work with when arranging food for our wedding. From start to finish it was easy to navigate their website , communicate with a real person who was very helpful and friendly. The food choice was amazing and at an affordable price.

Pig and a Half did exactly what they said they would do. Excellent service at the beginning when arranging the food package for my partner's 60th birthday even after changing the details four times!

What is your most memorable wedding?

One of our most memorable weddings was a rustic outdoor event set on a picturesque countryside farm. The bride and groom wanted an unforgettable BBQ and hog roast experience to match the laid-back, festive atmosphere of their big day.

We set up an open-air kitchen where guests could watch the hog roast slowly cook to perfection, filling the air with mouthwatering aromas. The BBQ spread included smoky brisket, ribs, and grilled vegetables, with a variety of sauces for guests to customize their plates. The highlight was when we served the hog roast as the centerpiece of the meal, carving it right in front of the guests. The couple loved how interactive and relaxed the meal was, and it really set the tone for the entire evening.

To top it off, we had a late-night BBQ snack station with mini pulled pork sliders and grilled corn, keeping the party going well into the night! It was an event where the food became the heart of the celebration, and we were thrilled to be part of it.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

One of my favorite personal touches at a wedding is when couples incorporate elements of their own story into the event. For instance, some couples choose to feature family recipes or traditional dishes that have special meaning to them. This could be a unique BBQ sauce recipe passed down through generations or a special marinade for the hog roast that tells a story. It adds a personal and memorable flavor to the celebration, making it even more special for everyone involved.

How would you wow the Judges on Masterchef?

To wow the judges on Masterchef, present them with a dish that features irresistibly crispy crackling paired with mouthwatering slow-cooked pork. Ensure the crackling is perfectly crispy and golden, providing a delightful contrast in texture. The pork should be tender, juicy, and infused with deep, rich flavors from the slow cooking process, creating a dish that's both visually stunning and incredibly satisfying to taste.
