I’d highly recommend the Shakespeare spitroast

I used Shakespeare Spitroast for my wedding in July. Simon made the whole catering process easy - he provided canapés, a formal sit down meal and a hog in the evening, all of which tasted amazing. It was seamless from start to finish. His team were great - very professional and provided an A class service to my guests. I’d highly recommend the Shakespeare spitroast to anyone looking for anything from casual to fine dining catering.

Great food and a fantastic service

Recently attended a wedding catered by Simon and his team. Great food and a fantastic service. He even provided advise on a faulty generater and was willing to help in any and all ways he could through his 22 hour day. Why can't all wedding services be of such a high standard!?

Really great food

The guys turn up on time, looking professional and served the food at our wedding party all afternoon. Really great food which all the guests agreed was moist and tasty, the crackling was out of this world. Friendly guys who I would recommend and definitely use again.

excellent food

Simon recently catered our wedding at Mickleton Hills Farm and provided excellent food throughout the day, from canapes, wedding breakfast to evening food. We had an initial meeting with Simon and we were so impressed with his passion for food and innovative ideas, as well as his willingness to ensure we achieved our dream food for a great budget. Loads of guests on the day commented how much they loved the food and it became a real feature of the day - something that was really important to me

The hog roast was amazing

Simon, Kate and Mark were excellent! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Shakespeare Spit Roast Company. They were spot on with everything. The hog roast was amazing. They communicated with me throughout the organisation of our wedding, were very accommodating and professional. Thank you all so much! Carla.

FANTASTIC

Simon provided us with a bespoke menu for our marquee wedding in October. From our initial phone call all the way through to the wedding day, he was FANTASTIC. His passion for food and delivering exceptional guest experience was second to none and this was coupled with an excellent sense of humour and a clear realisation of how important our wedding day was to us. Simon provided a full catering service from canape reception through to evening hog roast, which was so delicious
