I cannot recommend GHR more highly. From the moment I began communicating with Marco prior to our wedding, he put my mind at ease and seamlessly navigated through the various obstacles that were thrown at him in regards to the logistics of the day. We had around 3 phone calls in the lead up to the big day where he ran me through every detail; his calm and can-do attitude reassured me we were in very safe hands. We didn’t have a chance to taste the food before the wedding, which felt risky but I’d read plenty of reviews about how excellent it was, so we went ahead with the booking and hoped for the best. The best is exactly what we got; I had no reason to worry as all of our guests said the food was incredible - and we agreed! The meat was to die for, the potatoes superb, salads and canapés delicious, tiramisu divine. I honestly couldn’t fault any of it. Oh, and the bite-size super soft sourdough cheese toasties were absolutely amazing, and exactly what our tipsy guests were craving as a late night snack.Though the food was of course faultless, it was Marco and John who really shone on the day. John, our FOH manager on the day was an utter superstar. A truly lovely bloke who’s absolutely incredible at his job - he was on top of timings, details, staff, service, everything. I don’t know what we’d have done without his expertise and commitment to ensuring everything ran smoothly.John and Marco, we can’t thank you enough for everything - you two are utter heroes.Do not hesitate to book GHR for your event, they are the best of the best.

We found the whole experience to be wholly positive. So many of our guests commented both on the excellence of the food and on the friendliness of the Gourmet Hog Roast team who served us. My wife and I were very pleased. Russell and his team were friendly, helpful and so approachable. It was a great day and Gourmet Hog Roast helped make it so. We will certainly recommend you to others.

Scott and the team were incredible from the planning and organisation, to the on-the-day setup, to the wonderful food. It really made our wedding day easier knowing the food was in safe hands.I highly recommend this company, honestly brilliant!

The Gourmet Hog Roast Company supplied the catering for our wedding celebration in October. Everything was absolutely superb from start to finish. We couldn't fault it. Whenever I have asked our guests if they enjoyed our celebration, every single one has mentioned how excellent and tasty the food was.Both Scott and Marco were fantastic at every stage of the process. Communication was so easy, they answered all my many questions promptly and made everything seamless. I cannot thank them enough and all the other staff who worked so hard on the day. I would definitely recommend this company to anybody looking for an event caterer.

The gourmet hog roast company delivered a perfect meal for my husbands 50th birthday celebrations. Every aspect of the preparation, execution and tidying up was handled expertly. Thank you very much.

Tracy Rushin

The Gourmet Hog Roast Company provided the most beautiful food and amazing service at our wedding this summer, we couldn't recommend them highly enough. All of the food, from the canapés, hog roast, homemade vegetarian quiches, deserts and cheese toasties in the evening, was absolutely delicious and we received so much positive feedback and compliments from guests. The service was also fantastic; the team were so helpful and friendly and having the hog roast served to tables was especially lovely. Considering the quality of service, the delicious food and generous portions, they are fantastic value, exactly what we wanted for our wedding. Thanks so much to Scott and the whole team.

The Gormet Hog Roast company provided a BBQ buffet for our wedding yesterday and not only was was the food fantastic but the staff were very friendly and accommodating.We couldn't have asked for anything more and wouldn't hesitate to book them again.

Alan Lightfoot

We hired Gourmet Hog Roast for our wedding in Oxted and they were fantastic! The food was amazing - we also had the Hog Roast served to the tables. Our guests commented that the even the canapés and the dessert was some of the best they have had at a wedding! Nick, Marco and John were a pleasure to work with in the run up and on the day itself. On the day John was absolutely amazing and made sure everything ran smoothly - even doing a site visit a few days before to make sure he knew the layout and requirements to ensure everything went to plan. All the waiting and bar staff were super professional, friendly and a pleasure to have around. The team were also incredibly tidy and went above and beyond to help clean everything up on the night. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gourmet Hog Roast Company for a wedding!

J A

Thank you so much to Scott and colleagues for the brilliant job you did with our hog roast and evening toasties at our wedding! Everyone loved the food, it was absolutely delicious! We will definitely recommend your catering company to any friends looking for a hog roast in the future.

Katie Flaherty

We had the Gourmet Hog Roast Company at our recent festival and just wanted to say they were fantastic. The food was great and service was professional.

Giles Savage

We hired the Gourmet Hog Roast company for our wedding recently and they were excellent! The setup on the day went very smoothly with minimal input from myself or anyone else organising. The food is delicious with the star of the show being the Hog roast itself but the sides and canapes and late night toasties were enjoyed by all the guests too. The catering team are all very friendly and made sure everyone's glasses were full during the reception. This was topped off by John the front of house manager who was so attentive and really made sure that my wife and I had everything we wanted, we can't thank GHC enough!

Henry Coley-Fisher

Marco and team catered our garden wedding earlier this month and it was the perfect compliment to our celebrations! Organisation and communication leading up was both professional and personal, and the food on the day (canapes and wedding BBQ) was delicious and generous. Highly recommend!

Amor Boufath

The second time we have used Gourmet Hog Roast Company and yet again they did a great job at an outdoor firework event. Fantastic hog roast baps with generous portions and everyone there was extremely complimentary. Thanks to the whole team there.

James Ratzer

I've now had Nick, Marco and their team cater both my daughter's wedding and my 40th wedding anniversary, and on both occasions the food was flawlessly good. The set-up and service was fast and efficient, and the food, both canapes and hog roast, quite delicious. My wife and I have been flooded with emails from guests complimenting the food at both events, and GHR's number has been widely circulated.Highly recommended with complete confidence.

Martin Rands

We hired The Gourmet Hog Roast Company for our wedding in August and it was amazing! We went for the BBQ option - the burgers, chicken and steak were all delicious, and they did a good selection for veggies too. The portions were also really generous. Would defs recommend.

Lara Stanley

I've tried quite a few hog roasts and these guys are by far the best! I was so impressed by them at an event, that my wife & I asked them to cater our wedding. They did the "Banquet Service" for us and we could not have been happier with them. They did a fantastic job. Their staff were really organised, friendly and polite. And the two guys who run it (Marco & Nick) seriously know what they're doing! Beyond the actual Hog, they also did a great selection of canapés, salads, desserts and the full works. Since our wedding they have gone on to cater two of my friends' weddings and an event at my work. Which, in my mind, is the highest compliment that they could get for their work. If you want a Hog Roast, this is definitely the company to use.

Matt Beveridge

Rave reviews all around from us, everyone was singing praises of the food. Great presentation and was very happy how it was able to add (rather than hinder) the aesthetics of our event. Staff were brilliant throughout the whole night and added to the chill friendly atmosphere we were looking for!

Rhianne M

The Gourmet Hog Roast Company provided such a fantastic BBQ for 130 guests at our offices. Liaising with Marco was extremely easy. Him and his team met all of our requirements. The food was spectacular and really helped to bring our 'summer party' themed event to life. I will definitely be using them again! 10/10.

Gourmet HogRoast were absolutely amazing in ensuring everything was perfect for my husband’s 50th birthday bash.  From the initial conversations with Marco & Nick through to the execution on the night, their customer service and professionalism were second to none.  The food was delicious and Brendon who took control on the night was so helpful and considerate of my guests needs.  I will be recommending Gourmet HogRoast to all my family & friends and look forward to using them again in the future.

Good morning Nick

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for making Chris & Sara’s wedding the beautiful and relaxing day that it was.  My abiding memory will be you, calmly and quietly, constantly walking the venue, clip board in hand, gently overseeing that all was well.  You cannot imagine how much pressure that took off me.

Your staff were outstanding and I hope you will let them know that.  The waiting staff were friendly, efficient and utterly professional. The bar staff were superb and I would like a special thank you to them for the amazing job they did on clearing up at the end.  When I got back the next morning expecting to deal with a horror I was presented with everything ordered and sorted; again so much pressure removed.

The food was wonderful and everyone commented on how brilliant the whole meal was but this was as much to do with the presentation and professionalism of your company as it was to the fantastic cooking !!

I have to commend you, your company and all your staff for a brilliant job.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you so, so much.

Hi Nick/Marco

The food was absolutely fantastic, as was the service from Victoria and the other chef (Joe?). 10 out of 10 in all respects.

We were very pleased, could not fault it in any way, and I would have no hesitation recommending you.

Two aspects impressed us in particular. Firstly, while the meat was tremendous, the quality of the salads also stood out. Coleslaw can often be too rich and creamy, but yours was excellent and served to enhance rather than compete with the meat. The parmesan and pinenut salad was also excellent.

Secondly, your chefs provided excellent service and were very kind and easy to deal with. We didn’t have to do anything at all. They were in no hurry to leave and wanted to make sure that we had alternate tables and serving dishes, and helped us get these out before leaving.

Thanks again and please pass on our sincere thanks to the whole team. It was an important day for us and thanks to you it was a huge success.

A big thank you to you and the boys for a superb BBQ in the paddock at Brands Hatch this weekend. The food was spot on and the boys served up spot on time – much appreciated by the hungry crowd. The numbers we estimated seemed perfect. Your team left the place spotless, please say a big thanks to them.

We look forward to the full Hog experience at Silverstone.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Scott. Really great guy..sadly not a great ending of the rugby for him!

Please pass on our thanks and tell him that by the end of the night there wasn’t even a potato left, let alone any pork!

Kind regards

Just a quick email to say what a good job Brendon did on Saturday with the hog roast, the hog tasted great and Brendon  was so good he set up and cleared away so efficiently you hardly knew he was doing it and he was really friendly and helpful.  This is the second time we have used the London-based hog roast caterers Gourmet Hog Roast and both times your service has been fantastic we will definitely be using you again and would highly recommend you to others.

Thank you very much to Ollie and Charlie for a wonderful hog roast on Sunday 17th – Everyone had lots to eat and said how lovely it was! Thank you it worked very well – I reckon we could have easily have just 1/2 pig as well as there was soooo much left !! We’ve had a lot of pork sandwiches and even thai pork curry !! Well done though – all in all a huge success!! Many Thanks

Everything run so smoothly. I didn’t have to give the food organisation any thought on the night. Just what you need when you have 100 things to remember.

Everyone was very complimentary about the food and the Fox Pub were incredibly impressed with the organisation on arrival and departure.

Kitty Mason

I found all the hog roast personnel helpful polite and more than happy to go the extra mile. They carried boxes of wine around, set up the electric and provided extra cables and checked on what I wanted at suitable moments. They did everything exactly the time they said they would. The food came out at exactly the time agreed and I could not have been happier with the quality.

It was great to have The Gourmet Hog Roast catering for our party last month. They took care of everything start to finish and were a real pleasure to have around as part of the party. We had both the Pork and the marinated Lamb, which were absolutely perfect. Sweet juicy meat and a mound of crispy crackling! Not to mention the potatoes cooked in the meat juices below, simply delicious! It was the talking point of the party and without fail everyone commented on not just the excellent food but the friendliness and enthusiasm of the staff who clearly love what they do. By far the best Hog Roast I’ve had and I couldn’t recommend these guys highly enough.

Thank you so much for a making my mother in law’s 70th birthday party such a memorable one. Everyone was very impressed with the lamb roast, which both smelt and tasted delicious. As a company, your service was prompt and professional and you were always accommodating when I had (quite a lot!) of questions. Marcus was very helpful on the day and tidied up after himself leaving us all very happy.

Gourmet Hog Roast was recently used as the main food supplier for our 2012 graduate welcome event at BP’s International Centre for Business Technology ICBT in Sunbury. .We selected GHR after carefully exploring other options in the market and they proved to be a great team, having delivered a high quality roast with excellent service and value for money.

We researched extensively on the web. When we got in touch they were super friendly and helpful and seemed to tick all the boxes… flexible, gazebo provided, serving, plates, cutlery all just as we had wanted. On the day they turned up promptly and once they’d set up the roast, they went so far to offer their help with the other party arrangements we were making, so we roped them into that too! They couldn’t have been nicer to have around and everyone commented positively on the quality of the food… When all was done, they cleared up perfectly and left with a minimum of fuss. We would not hesitate to recommend them for whatever your event is.

~ October 2, 2012

Catie Paterson

I can not recommend you and your company highly enough! You produce one of the most delicious pieces of meat I have tasted in a long time the crackling ….
Well suffice to say people are still talking about it there was no waste. The whole thing is well presented and if I had had any sense I would have had 2
Not just highly recommended but a MUST HAVE

I held a Birthday event 2 years running with The Gourmet Hog Roast Company. The quality of the food was excellent, and the service was friendly and professional. Just thinking abut the meat makes my mouth water. I highly recommend the potato salad!

We had a great experience using Gourmet Hogroast . They catered a party of about 100 people. We found there menu offered an easy to choose from selection at reasonable prices. The food was delicious and plentiful, served right on time. It was wonderful to be able to rely on them for both food preparation and clean-up. If you are looking for someone to cater your next event, we highly recommend giving consideration to The Gourmet Hog Roast Company, you can’t go wrong using Marco and Nick.
