Hi there, I just wanted to thank your guys who did the big pan paella at Sunderlandwick on Saturday. They arrived on time, setup quickly and everything looked great, all the paella went and some had seconds and thirds! Everyone loved it and I think you will get a few future orders from some of the party-goers! We were also impressed that you cleared up all peoples used plates etc, thank you.

You guys were awesome. Having been to weddings where I have been a hungry and grumbly guest, I knew that on my wedding day I wanted to make sure our guests were well catered for.You guys were there, ready for us at the time stated and served our 100 guests super quickly. Every one I have spoken to since has talked at length about how they loved being able to go up and get their own food without waiting around.All the staff on the day were utterly professional. You were courteous, efficient and had big smiles on your faces. I loved that you raved about the food yourselves and prided yourself on how the food is prepared - always a good sign!Clean up was slick and the cakes went down a treat. I might have to come and just buy a chocolate cake off you again as it was so good!.Again, many thanks. You rocked!

Hi Kate,Just a quick note to thank you for your excellent catering and professional service last night.The party was a great success and enjoyed by all.

Our Hog Roast Wedding, right from the initial enquiry we found the whole experience of booking an outside caterers to be easy and found them to be very friendly, and the process straight forward. On the day of our wedding the hog roasts menu we had was very nice with hot new potatoes, salads and delicious or so I'm told vegetarian pasta obviously for the veggies at our wedding. The pork on the hog roast was as described; delicious in fact I now crave to have it again! I have pork at restaurants and have never before or since had pork that nice and all of our guests at our wedding thought so too. I have to say they were not the cheapest nor the most expensive that we originally got quoted but I have to say that my best man had a formal sit down 5! course meal at his wedding only 6mths ago and in a rather nice Hotel and I'm sure he would agree with me it wasn't nearly as nice as the feast we got from Happy Hogs Catering and I will certainly be using them again, in fact I already have them booked for our 1st anniversary, just a nice small family and close friends celebration. A really nice 5 star + service with delicious food at a great price.

A lovely hog roast cooked as described and tasted gorgeous, infarct our guests all loved the hog roast too, the company was nice and provided a good service on the day and we couldn't fault them they arrived on time set up and took all the rubbish away with them infarct they even helped my wife tidy our things away too. We would be happy to use them again and will do for our anniversary soon.

 We used these outside caterers for my daughters wedding last week, well i should say barbecue caterers maybe? But anyway, they did everything we asked and did it well, from serving canapés that really did the job well to serving up a delicious barbecue and hog roast too the menu we had from them was quite extensive and we did worry that it was allot for them to do but, they just got on with it and everything was superb and on time. My daughters guests all complimented us on them saying how good the food was in-particular the barbecue catering and the hog roast catering so we couldn't ask any more really for the money which we thought would have been allot more and we were all surprised at how much we got for what we paid, Canapés, BBQ with a full hog roast alongside salads and new potatoes and finished off with a load of desserts and tea and coffee. So thanks to the team on the day and we all now look forward to having an opportunity whereby we can use them again and have another delicious hog roast.

We used this company for our company barbecue and it was amazing they worked with us to bring it in on budget and the food was perfect all free range and homemade sausages and beef burgers we are now desperate to get them back again for our next family open day so we can have one of those hog roasts.
Mar 21, 2013 by Mark C

Mar 7, 2013 by WeddingGirl


A great service that gives excellent value for money, great food; the free range hog roast we had was amazing it looked great smelt fantastic and tasted divine. I cant wait to have another family wedding so we can repeat it again.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for yesterday...it was fantastic! What an impact!...I couldn't believe my eyes when they brought the hog in...I'm not quite sure what I was expecting but it way exceeded what i'd hoped for!
The gent and lady who delivered it could not have been nicer. They were helpful, patient and kind and didn't mind performing in front of an audience! They allowed everyone to take photos and didn't seem rushed. They were professional and efficient.
You have also been both kind and understanding, allaying my worries and regularly updating me with what the order of events were.
The whole experience has been first class I feel you offer a very professional service yet still maintain a personal touch. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and my oldest son took the remainder of the hog back to uni to feed all his housemates...what a very happy bunch they were!
I shall have no hesitation in recommending your company in the future.
