Our guests were so happy with the delicious food!

Thank you so much for helping make our wedding reception such an amazing evening! I received countless compliments from our guests about how delicious the food was. The catering manager James and his team were very efficient in accommodating for various dietary requirements, as well as additional requests such as extra plates for serving cake.

There was plenty of food to go around

We were delighted with the service we received from our initial enquiry right up until the moment everything was packed up and taken away. It was our son’s wedding on one of the windiest days of the year. We heard that outdoor festivals had been cancelled and roads were being closed but we received a text from Jean Paul to say he was on his way and they arrived and set up with no fuss at all. There was plenty of food to go around, the vegetarian option, stuffing and the sides were excellent.

Our guests loved the food and ate a ton of it!

We booked Spitting Pig for our wedding on 29 July 2021. James and the team served a stunning Southern Slow BBQ of pork, brisket, chicken, mac'n'cheese, fries, Greek salad, coleslaw and veggie skewers. Our guests loved the food and ate a ton of it! The team were very hygienic as well making good use of antibac and cleaning surfaces down before and after cooking. We higher recommend them.

The food was incredible and the staff were so kind

We hired The Spitting Pig Company for our wedding reception on 26 July this year. The food was incredible and the staff were so kind and helpful. The guests kept complementing the food days after the actual wedding. Can't recommend enough.

The Spitting Pig Team were totally superb!

The Spitting Pig Team were totally superb! They were all very polite and super helpful and mucked in with serving drinks to our wedding guests as our bar let us down and didn’t show up! I would 100% recommend them as a business and we would definitely use them again should we have another party. We would like to make a special mention to the team members who were John, Callum and Liam who went above and beyond! Total professionals! Kelly & Phil (a very grateful Bride and Groom) xx

Amazing food & service for our wedding day.

Amazing food & service for our wedding day. We had just under 60 guests and we still had plenty of food left over. We had the hog roast and it tasted delicious, the vegetarian option also went down well with the vegetarian guests.
