We hired Spitting Pig for a family celebration, and I couldn't be happier with the service. The whole process was seamless from start to finish, and the hog roast itself was absolutely delicious.

HUGE thanks to Olly and his team for a great service. They were friendly, professional and fed the masses with great charm. The hog roast was a great success, I had positive feedback from the vegetarians too. The salads were lovely, the new potatoes were delicious. Overall I could not fault anything, we were delighted once again. Thank you

Hello! Yes, the food was perfect! Having a Christmas lunch made for us was such a nice treat! With us baking desserts all day it was nice having someone cook for us for a change! The food was so full of flavour and piping hot from start to finish. It was just an all round perfect afternoon for us! Cant thank you all enough! Charley

Great service and fantastic food! For our 400 guest event, we were apprehensive of how smooth the serving process would be but the staff on the day had no problem getting through each guest with ease and ensuring everyone was greeted in a friendly manner. The Southern Slow menu was a hit with all dietary requirements catered for with the large range of food available. We will definitely use Spitting Pig again for our future events. Joe

Hi Sophie, Apologies for the delay it's been a hectic August and back to school September. Spitting pig was fantastic! We organised spitting pig for our summer party for our family and friends. The food was incredibly tasty and plentiful.  The guys did a great job setting up and preparing the roast, a presentation which was a great photo opportunity! 😀 The clean up was also so smooth. Sophie was brilliant during the full process in planning. Even sorted out a mistake I made in the dates which I'm extremely grateful otherwise I would have had a lot of hungry guests!  Thank you to the whole team for making my summer event so wonderful. Highly recommend and hope to use again! Thanks Rochelle

Hi Sophie The day was perfect thank you and the food was unbelievable, everyone loved it and I believe someone is hoping to book you guys in for an event they are planning around the end of October, everyone with in the company has been amazing, helpful & friendly. So glad we went with you guys and I will definitely be passing on details. Thanks Cara

Hello Sophie, We had an amazing party and we can’t thank Spitting Pig enough for being part of it. We are not quite sure we got the names of the two chefs correct Aiden/Arron and Dave but they were fantastic.  They were able to park close by and just got on with setting up everything.  We had a perfect space for them to operate in. The Hog Roast was amazing, everyone loved it, the meat very tender, the vegetarian skewers also went down well as did the salads, which lasted out just for Mike and I to get the end of!! (A few more people turned up that we had not catered for!!). Everything went like clockwork and I asked the chefs if we could have any pork left as I could not bare this to be wasted, they carved and plated up a mountain of pork which I am very pleased to have in the freezer. We would recommend you to others for sure. Thanks once again for playing a big part in Mike’s 70^th Birthday party 😊. Best wishes Lindsay

Hi Sophie, We had an amazing event thank you. The staff were excellent. Very attentive. No problems at all 😊 Thank you for all the hard work! Kind Regards Lauren Seldén Mast Limited

Good morning Sophie, Well how does one start! Wow Wow Wow 😊 Thank you so much for the amazing food for our wedding party. The Chef was incredible and went above and beyond to help Josh & Juliet make the most amazing memories ever! So many guests from around the world that were super excited to taste the hog roast and were definitely not disappointed with the quality, quantity. Professionalism of the chefs was second to none we will 100% recommend but more importantly use you again for all our events in the future. Thank you. Ailing Kind regards, Reception Team The Hartley Clinic

Hi Sophie, I am happy to say that everything was perfect. All the comments about the food were very positive. The quantity was more than enough and everyone I spoke to thought the pork was fantastic- in fact we will be eating it for months!!! Mathew and Paulina were really nice too. It all went better than I could have hoped for. Thank you to all at The Spitting Pig company!!! Julie

Hello, Thank you all for such a fab service. You were so helpful from the second i got in contact with you and im so happy with what we eventually decided on. The anti pasti and grazing table was just beautiful and everything was so fresh! It really made my day feel special! Cant thank you enough, Laraleigh

Ordered some sharing boards for my cocktail party and i was not disappointed. Was exactly what i wanted and everybody said how fresh and tasty everythign was! Thanks again, Alice

Booked some Anti Pasti boards for my friends hen party and we loved them. They looked so special all laid out and made the evening really start off with style. It also made the older members of the group feel special aswell to be involved with everything. SO fresh and tasty and just a really lovely experience in itself! Thanks to everybody! Selina

Hi, We had a great time over the weekend. The food was great and all piping hot and served exactly on time. Everybody looked like they were enjoying themselves and i enjoyed eating it for the next few days afterwards aswell. Thanks again, Heath

Hiya 🙂 You guys were just perfect at my engagement party. I wanted everything to feel special and have a fancy edge to it so when i saw all the Anti Pasti boards laid out together they were exactly what i wanted and so so good, as was everything else. Thanks again, Lucy

Planned an early anniversary/ valentines get together for ourselves and our friends and wanted something that fit in with the vibe of the evening. I wasn't sure as we were only a relatively small group if this would be feasible but we were assured it would be. I went for a stripped back choice of mainly the individual Anti Pasti boards and they were just to die for, everything on them was just so so fresh and tasty. You could really taste the quality. Thanks Again, Polly 🙂

So glad we booked you guys for our wedding. The food was absolutely amazing and we still had leftovers! I loved the charcuterie it looked and tasted amazing! All the staff were great, everything was on time and the whole process was smooth throughout. Would highly recommend! Roxy

Hi, Just wanted to let you know how great everything was. The food was fantastic and everything from making the booking to leading up to the day was an easy and stress free experience! Will certainly recommend you and we have already made our next booking ourselves! Thanks Again, Dom

We wanted to entice people to our AGM meeting for our local Riding club so getting the perfect catering was a must. The variety of options you provide and allergy's you cater for is perfect and adding that you were catering the evening to our invitations actually had our numbers up by 50% which was a real help! The Hog Roast barms were perfect and the service was quick and easy. We will definitely be booking you again for our next one! Kind Regards Alison

Me and my husband hired Spitting Pig to cater for our wedding day and I cannot thank you enough for taking part in making the day as perfect as it could’ve been. My husband loved the hog roast, said it was the best he’d ever had and I couldn’t have been happier with the vegetarian options offered. Spitting Pig really offers a great selection of food for anyone’s taste and I couldn’t be happier with their service! Kind regards Nicole and James

Hi there, My feedback on the catering for my 40^th birthday can only be words of praise to be passed on to the caterers. Their high level of communication made it easy to trust them to be organised and professional. The hog itself was succulent and delicious; it became the talk of the night! Thank you Spitting Pig and see you again soon!

Hi Sophie, I would like to say a massive thank you to your wonderful colleagues who catered at our house, they were so polite and helpful, an absolute pleasure. I would not hesitate to recommend your company as it was the best tastiest Hog Roast, crackling salads, coleslaw and the freshly made chips made it a very filling delicious meal. I am so glad I found your company. Our guests kept commenting on the delicious food, it was a great success. Thank you all and a big thank you to the chef of the hog roast, he cooked it to perfection. Kindest regards

Hello Sophie!

The hog roast form Raffa and Anna was outstanding. Lots of people commented that it was the best they’d ever had.

Raffa was a total legend all night and kept serving as people kept coming back for seconds and thirds. He even kindly boxed up a massive pile of left overs for us which are now safely in our freezer.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone I knew.

Cheers,

Hi Sophie It was a lovely day, thank you! All our guests commented on how delicious the hog roast was. Some of them had never had it before! I think you’ll have a few more orders coming after the success of our party. Kind regards

Hi, Please find below review for 2/7/22 Can't thank the team at The Spitting Pig enough! They provided an amazing BBQ for our evening food at our wedding, the food was tasty, fresh and a great variety including a veggie option that went down a storm. Extremely helpful, friendly service offered from the 1st email to the catering team on the day who were brilliant. 100% recommend The Spitting Pig! Thank you for helping to make our day so special.

Hi there Sophie Well, what can we say? It was the most tasty hog roast we have ever had and would totally recommend Spitting Pig to anyone. We loved the fact that the salads were prepped on site and so fresh, the staff were very friendly, smiley and happy, our guests all raved about the food. So thank you so much for providing us with first class food and service. Kind Regards

Dear Sophie, We had a very positive experience with Nick and the Spitting Pig last Saturday.  Nick and his son worked hard from the moment they arrived. The food was excellent - we had some great feedback from our guests - and the service was great too.  We were particularly impressed with the clear up and leaving, which didn't interrupt our party at all. The site was immaculate. Many thanks and we'll definitely use again, and recommend his service.

Hi The hog roast on Saturday was amazing. Everyone said it was the best they'd had. The chef was great. Will highly recommend in the future. Thank you Kind regards

Hello Sophie, Thank you for your email, and for your support with our event. Nick the catering manager was wonderful and helped ensure that our event went really smoothly. The roast hog was delicious and the vegan option was a real hit too. All on all, a top notch service, thank you very much! Kind regards

Hi Sophie The event was a great success. Your team were fantastic, the food was marvellous and everything just worked really well. A number of the guests commented on how good it all was – I wouldn’t be surprised if you received some bookings from them. All in brilliant – can’t speak highly enough of your team and what they delivered for us. They were an enormous factor in how well the event went. Thanks for everything … I’m sure we’ll be booking another event with you in the future All the best

Hands down the best catering I've ever had at a party! This was the first time I had ever attended a Hog Roast and I will not be looking back now. Everything tasted delicious, the staff were friendly and set and packed up with no hassle at all! Definitely recommend!

Thank you for catering my brother’s wedding! The food was delicious and we all wanted more! Everything was very fresh and cooked to perfection. I will definitely use you again in the future.

Thank you to Spitting Pig for your service, amazing food and every one that helped me from booking to the chef who prepared and made my food at the event. It was fantastic!

From start to finish, the whole process was very easy with help from the admin team. There was something on the menu that catered towards everyone. The food was just excellent and the staff on the day were so friendly. We all had a great time, thank you.

Excellent food and service. We were really impressed by the quality and presentation of the food. The team was very accommodating and responsive to our needs and the service was second to none and really outstanding . Thank you so much for helping us have such a memorable party. I have already passed your details onto a few people at the party who have asked.

I just wanted to email you as we were so happy with Rafa He arrived at the right time very lovely man who was so organised and made everything look lovely, what can I say about the food except it was delicious all very tasty and cooked to perfection we were all very happy with what we received from Rafa he was very friendly towards us all and made the hog roast extra special. We all want to say a great big thank you to Rafa for today you are a star and totally blessed us today thank you. Take care

Hi, Thanks for your email. The event went great and everyone in attendance raved about the food. The guys were so accommodating, and the food was sensational. We will definitely be using you again! Kind regards

Hi, Just to say the hog roast was amazing. Everyone was very complimentary, the pork tasted wonderful and Rafa went above and beyond, he even helped our elderly uncle with getting the food which was very kind of him. Thank you for helping to make my daughter Megan and her husband Shane‘s day really special. I would definitely recommend your company. Kind regards

We were delighted with the whole experience, from the initial enquiry to the event. Excellent communication both beforehand and on the day. The food was delicious and all our guests enjoyed it. 10 out of 10!

Just a quick message to say how pleased we were with the hog roast you supplied last weekend. We had a family get together organized for when the restrictions lifted and we are so glad we booked you to cater. There was an option for everyone, the grilled vegetable skewers with halloumi were a big hit! Hope to use you again in the future!

We chose Spitting Pig Hampshire to cater for our wedding. From the very first meeting they were friendly and approachable. The food choices were fantastic and we were able to create our ideal package. On the day the food was simply superb, served in super quick time and piping hot. All our guests commented on the quality, taste and decent portion sizes too! What more could you ask?

I had a small get together last summer when restrictions were lifted slightly and had your company cater for us. Everyone was catered for, a few vegetarian friends said how lovely the skewers were, and the meat was very tasty! Hoping to use you again in the future.

The hog roast was a massive talking point at my mum's 60th birthday celebrations. A great selection of breads and salads were provided (my favourite was the potato salad - yum!) as sides to the mouth wateringly delicious pork. Thanks for a great day Spitting Pig.

Spitting Pig Hampshire was terrific. We used them for my daughters wedding. They were so helpful. The food was great. The servers were so nice and helpful. I would absolutely use them again and I very much appreciate all of their help.

We are over the moon with the service we received from the Spitting Pig. Raffa, our chef, was professional yet super friendly and even gave us a little bit of background into hog roasting and the processes which was great! He also set everything up quickly and served with a smile which everyone loved!  The food was second to none as well. The meat was excellent quality and was served with a range of sauces and condiments which went down a treat. I have received great feedback from our management team and colleagues at our head office so I’m very grateful for the service you provided for us. 10/10 – will definitely be returning to you guys next year, thank you!

Orione Care hosted a garden party in May this year where the Spitting Pig provided the catering. In spite of the name they provided a range of foods to meet all needs, vegan, vegetarian, non-pork eaters and an excellent addition of supplementary breads and vegetables to ensure a healthy, mixed diet. The desserts didn't disappoint either. The catering cooked on site, served at the table, cleared away afterwards and all in a hygienic and safe manner. We would have no hesitation in recommending this team of professional and friendly caterers to anyone faced with entertaining a large number of guests.

September 15th was an overwhelming success. Thank you. We were served by a very professional team who established the cooking and serving areas with no disruption. They were a friendly and knowledgeable team who clearly had a lot of experience with this type of event. The food was wonderful and we have had many appreciative comments in the few days following the event. As the cooking came to a close the team worked in a very co-ordinated way packing up all of the equipment quickly and efficiently without any disruption to the event which continued around them. In all honesty it seemed as though they were just spirited away. Please accept our very sincere thanks for the excellent job that you did for us. We would recommend this team whole heartedly.

We were extremely pleased with the hog roast provided on Friday. Please pass this on to our chef, Rachael, and feel free to use the following feedback on your website etc. We book The Spitting Pig company for our recent wedding- we chose them based on their friendly, prompt and informative correspondence as well as their flexibility with dietary requirements, of which our guests had quite a few. The price for the amount and range of food available was also extremely reasonable. On the day, two chefs turned up to cook, lay tables and serve the food- one of whom was Rachael who had been extremely helpful in arranging dietary needs in the run up to the wedding. We had many compliments about the amount of food and how tasty everything was. Our chefs then cut up the remaining meat and left it with us as we requested. They left shortly after without leaving a trace. We would not hesitate to recommend Spitting Pig to others or to book them again in the future. Thank you for helping our wedding day to run smoothly!

I would like to thank Lee our chef for his professionalism, and spot on timing which was very important to us as our production workers have a set a lunch time, and this was met perfectly. The food was plentiful and served quickly, and everybody enjoyed the hog roast very much. Other than that, this was our second time using Spitting Pig and no doubt will use again when the occasion arises. Many thanks to all who were involved in the booking, all went very smoothly, and I have no hesitation in recommending your services to others.

Hello! So sorry this is a late reply but better late than never I suppose! We were thrilled with the service provided by Spitting Pig so thank you very much! The staff arrived on time and were very friendly, set up efficiently and provided us with the left overs which was great. The event was a great success and the hog roast was such a nice addition, I was very happy with the price for the service and food. Overall I'm not sure I have anything negative to say at all, I have already recommended your services to someone so hopefully you will have some custom from them. Thank you again and all the best!

Our event was fantastic thank you, my colleagues thoroughly enjoyed it. Rachel and her colleague (sorry I didn’t get her name) did a truly brilliant job, the hog roast was cooked to perfection with some colleagues having seconds and thirds!! Overall the experience with Spitting Pig was very professional, Rachel and the team were very efficient in setting up and preparing for the mad rush. Please pass my comments on to Rachel, as I really appreciated her efforts.

We were really pleased with the event, thank you. Spitting pig arrived earlier than arranged and had already set up when I got there. They had anticipated my needs and set up in the exact spot in the field that I wanted them to which was great. They were very professional and polite. They answered all my questions about the pigs cooking process and were very knowledgeable. They even saved me some of the best bits of meat and crackling as they could see I was busy organising the sports games. Our staff were full of good comments about the food, saying it was very tasty and plenty to go around, one employee even went back for thirds The site was left very clean at the end of the event. Nothing but praise for them.

We had a fantastic party, made all the better by your team (Olly and Adam). They were a great team, well organised, very friendly and superb chefs.  They also helped us set the party up, constantly offering help and more to the point entertained our 3 young children, who adored them and were in fits of laughter with them all day. Our guests really enjoyed the food, loads of compliments and I would not hesitate to recommend you to others. Many, many thanks, to the guys- they helped make the whole day and evening really special. I know they were tired after a long day and really appreciate their hard work.

Rachel and her team were wonderful. We had a large proportion of children and vegetarians and she was very helpful in designing a menu that suited all our guests. The food was delicious and I lost track of how many people said it was the best crackling they ever had!. We were worried that we'd have loads of leftovers as a number of people dropped out late... but I was surprised to see very little left. It seems that quite a few of the guests went back for seconds and thirds 🙂 Will definitely be recommending the Spitting Pig to friends. Thank you so much for making our event such a roaring success.

Rachel was an absolute star from start to finish.  She offered helpful ideas and suggestions during the planning phase, when I was completely flummoxed. Whatever I threw at her, she was able to come up with a plan and sort everything for me. On the day she was impeccably presented in smart chefs whites and set herself up quickly and efficiently with the most delicious food served bang on time.  All the party guests commented on how delicious it was with most going back for second or third helpings. As promised, at the end she cleared everything away for me – you wouldn’t have even known she’d been there. I can’t thank her enough for playing such a huge role in a very successful party and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to anyone planning a function or event.

The event was a cracking success and the feedback on our catering arrangements extremely positive. Rachel and Lee could not have been  more helpful, provided a first class dinner without intruding on the other activities. The table was well dressed , the food delicious, plentiful and well presented. We would not hesitate in recommending your organisation to anyone else running an event and certainly intend to use you again ourselves. Many thanks from all of us at Portchester Community School.

Thanks Lee and his team for providing us with the most delicious food for our wedding on 27th July. From the moment we got in contact with you, all those months before, to the day after our wedding, when you were having to deal with the aftermath of the party, you were super organised, friendly and a pleasure to do business with! The beef was absolutely delicious and we continued to enjoy the cold cuts for lunch the day after the wedding. The canapes and salads were imaginative and tasty and the waiters and waitresses attended to our every need, including the two bar staff that stayed on until 2am! Thank you again for making our special day one to remember!

Once again many thanks for your superb contribution to our Golden Wedding Anniversary celebrations. The freshly cooked and delicious canapés provided a delightful start to the proceedings. The Hog Roast was, of course, the highlight - beautifully cooked and much appreciated by all our guests. The range and quality of the freshly prepared salads were most impressive and the desserts were greatly enjoyed by all. The availability of tea and coffee after the meal and throughout the evening was a great addition. We have had so many comments from our guests regarding the high quality and presentation of the entire meal. It was a pleasure to meet your team of very professional chefs and waiters who were a delight to have in our home. Their cheerfulness and willingness to please throughout the pressures of preparing and producing a meal for seventy people from scratch was quite outstanding. They obviously thoroughly enjoy their work. It enabled us to relax and enjoy our party to the full. We cannot thank you enough and would highly recommend you to anyone wishing to host a similar event.

We had the greatest day ever! We really did – I loved it all. The food was excellent – we have had LOTS of complements and you and all your staff were really amazing. So warm, welcoming and it felt like nothing was too much trouble. Lots of people commented on how lovely it was that they were all so friendly and smiley. Cant thank you enough and it was good to finally meet you.
