The Gourmet Hog Roast Company Ethos & Values

The company holds firm to its core values of bringing the traditional cooking styles of the UK, Mediterranean and African continent. We are fanatical about customer service, and are firm believers that the service received is as important as the taste of the food.

The Founding of The Gourmet Hog Roast Company

Founded in 2012 by Nick and Marco, The Gourmet Hog Roast Company began with humble origins in Wimbledon.

Both founders shared a passion for barbecuing for friends and family, leading them to create a catering company specializing in hog roasts and barbecues.

They identified a gap in the market for a high-quality service that offered delicious pork, avoiding dry meat served in cheap bread rolls.

Marco Nick Tagline 2012

Marco

Marco, a passionate South African, operated a small olive grove in Italy where he produced traditional cold-pressed olive oil.

Each year, he travelled to Italy to hand-pick the olives and manufacture the oil using traditional methods.

Nick

Nick spent seven years working alongside a pig farmer in Lincolnshire, where he developed a deep appreciation for fine meat production.

He was eager to bring this passion to their new catering venture.

Ghr Nick

Fast forward 12 years, and the company now boasts teams stretching across the UK, delivering the same high-quality hog roasts and barbecues that Nick and Marco have provided for over a decade.

They work closely with local butchers and suppliers to ensure that every event offers an excellent customer experience and delicious food.

We booked Gourmet Hog Roast for our EEB Conference at Coleg Gwent in Ebbw Vale and they were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Communication was clear and easy throughout, and on the day they were incredibly organised and professional.The food was fantastic — we had so many comments from attendees saying it was the best hog roast they’d ever had. There was loads of it, the service was quick, and everything ran so smoothly.A huge thank you to the team for helping make our event such a success. We’ll definitely be booking them again!

Absolute fantastic company! They’ve catered our wedding at Olton Mere sailing club yesterday for 80+people and the food was amazing. The canapés, mezz and anti pasti boards and hog roast was impeccable. Nothin but compliments from every guest. The staff were amazing from set up to clear down. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a bespoke event! Thank you to all the team

We recently hired The Gourmet Hog Roast Company for a joint celebration—our 25th wedding anniversary and our daughter’s 21st birthday party, they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The hog roast was perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, and full of flavour.The team was friendly, professional, and efficient. The staff were incredibly attentive from the time of booking to the end of the event, making sure everyone was well looked after and that the food was served smoothly and promptly. They arrived on time, set up quickly, and served everything with a smile.All of our guests commented on how nice the food was.

We had the best time at my party food provided by Gourmet Hog Roast and the chef was the wonderful Anthony. The guys worked so hard in the blistering heat and provided amazing food. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family. They were easy to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was cleared away without fuss there was so much food left over and I was scared we wouldn’t have enough as we had a few guests turned up but I didn’t think we’re coming but there was plenty for everyone. Thanks again.

I would highly recommend Gourmet Hog Roast for their exceptional communication skills and want to thank them all for making our wedding reception an extra special event, your fine catering service and friendly spirit helped us make this a memorable time. We couldn’t have done this without you. Even though our wedding was a small gathering, the canapes were served to our guests warm, well-presented and with friendly staff. The Hog roast was amazing succulent and was accompanied with the most amazing side dishesCaz&Paul 26/06/25

I hate leaving reviews, but we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to promote and praise the team that provided the food at our event in West Drayton near Heathrow. The portion size were huge, the quality of the food was excellent. We are looking forward to inviting them to do many more events for us. Thank you so much for your hard working on what was an extremely hot day, your professionalism is second to none.
