Testimonials

The meats were so tender and full of flavour, everyone kept asking us if they could go up and get seconds.

The food and service was exceptional

I just wanted to thank your team for an amazing lunch yesterday. The whole event was great, and everyone said how delicious the food was. Thank you for all your help organising

I just wanted to say that everything was amazing and the staff were superb. We had issues with our bar and they assisted. Can’t give enough praise!

Absolutely the best hog roast I have had, feedback from others was the same. Thank you so much for catering for our event, looking forward to next time! 🙂

Spitting Pig Colchester catered for our End of Summer party (my 50th)! Julian and Kirsty made the whole process completely stress-free from the moment we contacted them to the delivery on the night. They wore the happiest smiles all night, even when the naughty teens helped themselves to seconds before everyone was served (sorry – it was clearly too good)!! The food was absolutely delicious and loved by all of our guests. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Great value for money, delicious food (& huge quantities) and fantastic service. We’re still enjoying the leftovers as we cope with our post-party/end-of-summer blues. Thank you Julian and Kirsty – you (& your team) were brilliant!! Katie & Ed xx

We booked the team for our wedding and couldn’t have been happier with the service! From start to finish they were professional, friendly, and made everything stress-free. The food was incredible! All of our guests commented on how delicious it was, and the portion sizes were spot on.

We absolutely loved the food! Everything was delicious and the fact that you provided gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options, meant that we were able to meet the needs of all of our guests. The left-over sausages meant that we didn’t have to make dinner the next day either! The service was swift and the staff were so helpful. I would absolutely book you again for other events and would not hesitate to recommend you to others.

Honestly, the best birthday party food. There really is a bite for everyone, there was just short of 40 guests including my mum who is gluten-free and we were able to easily accommodate for her. Anyone who a family with lots of allergies or requirements, hire here! They are so flexible and the food is  out of this world.

I have used spitting pig on several occasions now! Different team members but always an incredible service, great communications, perfect punctuality and of course wonderful food ! enjoyed by all ! and a spotless tidy up afterwards ! I had hired a Helicopter for the day to take guests on 10 min hops , but they arrived early 30 mins before any guests were due ! so to add to the occasion and a bit of quick thinking! Got the catering Girls up on the first flight I think, along with several of the band members and all 6 of the Static Spitfire display team which was great and appreciated by all! .Fantastic service by team ‘Spitting Pig’ as always .

We were all very pleased with the catering service you provided for us here at T.E Connectivity we hope to do business with you again soon, Thankyou to the amazing staff,

The team and food were exceptional. Everyone commented on how lovely the food was, it was displayed well and there was plenty! We also enjoyed the leftovers of hog, stuffing, sausages, coleslaw, salad and the halloumi kebabs were amazing. Everything was tidied up afterwards so we didn’t have to worry about that. It was very well organised and effortless from our end which is all I wanted for a garden party of 100. Highly recommend. Thank you.

We were really impressed with both the service and the food from the Spitting Pig Co. The slow-cooked meats and sides were spot on. Big thanks to The Spitting Pig crew for smashing it again, this isn’t the first time we’ve hired them, and it definitely won’t be the last!

I just wanted to say thank you very much for catering for our wedding, we’ve had so many positive comments not only about how good the food was but also the kindness and hospitality from you and your team. Everyone commented how friendly and professional you guys were. Genuinely everyone raved about the food and how they all had enough food too. But also from my perspective, I was so grateful you guys just got on with it and everything was so smooth and seamless. Thank you.

Can I just send a HUGE THANK YOU, to your guys who did our BBQ on Saturday. They turned up on time set up quickly, were totally professional, organised and tidy. The food was incredible, the service impeccable and the young lady serving was polite and kind. The guy cooking was also chatty, pleasant and completely on top of everything. I cannot recommend you enough and would be happy to provide any reference/recommendation

We couldn’t recommend you guys enough!! From the first emails to the day of our wedding nothing was too much. The food was absolutely exceptional. The whole team were just incredible, friendly and efficient. You made our wedding day a complete success. Thank you so much!! Mr and Mrs Howell

Amazing and friendly staff, i love working with these guys!

They arrived early, got prepared and served exactly on time. The food was amazing, so very well presented and everyone commented on how tasty both the pork and vegetarian options were – I even got to sample the crackling just before serving!

The selection and service was top notch, and despite the weather they made every customer feel like they were at a 5-star roast. Their attention to detail and faultless food hygiene/management was also perfection. They were excellent brand ambassadors.

We hired Spitting Pig to cater for our garden party, we’d looked around for different catering options but as soon as we found these guys we couldn’t not book! The set up was absolutely flawless but the food was the real star of the show, the meat was melt in your mouth and the sides were beautifully presented and equally as delicious, highly recommend!

Kirsty and Julian were fabulous! By far the best Hog Roast we have had here at Milbank for our staff event which has been going for a good few years. The meat was so juicy it was delicious and the staff were very professional, friendly and helpful. Well done! 10/10

Communication excellent. Dropped off and picked up at a time which was convenient for me, and on time. Really friendly

Thank you for catering our Grandsons’ Christening! We were so pleased with the catering and how efficient the team at Spitting Pig Colchester! Everyone had a really good feed and enjoyed every mouthful!

We were so impressed with the food on Saturday Night! Everything down to the salad was super tasty! Thank you Julian & Kirsty!

Spitting Pig Colchester provided amazing food for our daughters birthday party! They arrived on time, set up and the food was incredible! You wouldn’t of even known they had been there as they cleaned everything up! It is so much appreciated that the whole side of catering was taken care of allowing me to enjoy my night with my daughter. Thank you!

Alexis, Kirsty and Julian arrived on site they set to business straight away, once we had got the paperwork completed, and the Hog was served at 12noon as requested. The layout was inviting and Julian made short work of shredding the Hog, Kirsty and Alexis made a great team serving to our hungry guys and no one stood in the queue for longer than a couple of minutes. Thanks guys for your hard work and your passion to serve good food to hungry workers. Much appreciated.

A massive thank you for catering my 60^th Birthday this weekend! Everyone loved the food!

I’ve been to many business events, but this was next-level. The selection of food available for our staff suited everyone. It made the networking event better! Highly recommended!

The hog roast from Spitting Pig at our party was a hit with everyone! The meat was succulent and flavourful, and the team were professional and efficient. I highly recommend them!

Hire and pig supply only. Communication excellent. Dropped off and picked up at a time which was convenient for me, and on time. Really friendly

Hands down the best hog roast I’ve ever had. The team was fantastic from start to finish, and the food was a real showstopper. Can’t wait to book again!

We hired Spitting Pig for my dad’s 60th birthday, and it was the best decision we made!

The lamb was melt-in-your-mouth good, and the antipasti boards were beautifully presented with a great selection of meats and cheeses

We had the hog roast, and the food was DELICOUS!

All of our guests couldnt stop talking about how much they loved it.

The food at our works staff function was incredible—everyone loved it. The team was professional and made the event run smoothly.

Would like to say a massive thank you for catering for our engagement party! Food was awesome and everything was super professional and made the evening one to remember!

Hi! My husband brought me half of his plate home from the catering at RAF Lakenheath today, and I just had to tell you this was the BEST barbecue I have ever had. Better than anything I have ever had in the US. I have no idea what was in the mac n cheese that made it so melt-in-your-mouth, but it was insanely good. All the meats were cooked and seasoned to perfection. I am going to send anyone who needs a caterer your way!!! All the best to you!

Our second year using the Spitting Pig for our annual Christmas party. We always received positive feedback from the team regarding the food.

What an excellent experience!

We hired Spitting Pig for our family gathering, and everyone was so impressed with the quality of the food. The crackling was perfect, and the stuffing was out of this world. Friendly service and everything was taken care of for us.

Thank you again!

Spitting Pig catered our anniversary celebration, and the food was outstanding. The hog roast was cooked to perfection, and the apple sauce and coleslaw added a lovely touch. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the food.

Spitting Pig catered my 40th birthday party, and wow—what an experience! The food was beyond amazing, and the staff made sure every guest was happy. People were raving about the pork and the incredible crackling. Highly recommended!

This was a hit for my 40th birthday! The entire experience—from the setup to the presentation—was incredible. It was such a unique addition, and everyone had a blast enjoying it. Will be a hard one to top!

Amazing food and even better service. Our guests were raving about it all night! Perfect addition to my 50th birthday.

When we hosted our summer BBQ, the hog roast was brilliant and the service was amazing, we can’t wait to book again for one of our events- Sarah T.

Dear Kate

Everything from booking to the end of the party was superb! Thank you. Kirsty and Julien were brilliant. The day before the party we had to change venue because of the  terrible weather and Kirsty and Julien were absolutely fine with it and dealt with it all so marvellously, thus relieving my anxiety and stress! They really were so lovely and the food was amazing! Everyone commented on how gorgeous it all was and the coeliacs and vegetarians felt well catered for too.  We wouldn’t hesitate in booking you again for an event. Marvellous! I personally don’t really like pork but I had some on Saturday and it was so delicious I had a second! I’m a convert!

Thank you again for everything.

Nothing short of fantastic.

The whole process of booking Spitting Pig and planning the menu was so easy and straight forward.

On the day the team were exceptional and really friendly, the food was superb and helped us to deliver a really great day to our customers and staff.

Thank you Spitting Pig!!

From Day 1 of enquiry to actual delivery, all personnel were polite and went the extra mile to ensure our needs were met.

The food was excellent and all our guests were very pleased with the type of food served. So much so, they all asked if they could take home doggy bags of the ample leftovers!

We can easily recommend our chefs on the day to anyone who wishes to ask!

Hi Kate,

Hope you’re well.

Hi Kate,

Thanks for the email.

Our event was certainly a success and people were bowled over with the quality and quantity of the food served. I was very worried when more people than confirmed arrived but somehow we managed to cater for everyone and no one when hungry which was important for me.

I have to say the service, attentiveness, efficiency, and quality of food were exceptional. We will certainly be using you again should we need to put on anything like this again.

Best regards

John

We hired Spitting Pig Colchester to cater for our company summer party and they did not disappoint.

The set up and close down was seamless, the food was delicious and the team were really friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend them.

Hi Kate!

Just wanted to say what an absolutely amazing time we had over the weekend!

I was so nervous when i first started looking for catering as it was something i had never done before but after looking round and enquiring at a few different places i was so so happy when i found you!

From the second i first started talking to you you put my mind at ease and the help was greatly appreciated when deciding on our menu!

The food was just as you described and somehow even better that we expected!

I cant thank you all enough and the next time we need catering it wont be a hesitation to come straight back to you guys! I’m still dreaming about how good that crackling was!

Thanks again,

Shannon
