We recently used ‘The Spitting Pig’ as the caterer for our daughter’s 21^st birthday party.

Gary’s friendly and flexible manner, coupled with a nice menu and cost effective quotation made us confident to use their service.

The service on the night was excellent and hassle free. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it.

I will definitely be using their service again and recommending them to friends.

Marie and Pete - West Cork - 31st May 2014

Gary and his team at The Spitting Pig were a pleasure to work with for our Family Fun Day, creating for approx. 1200 people at two different sittings. From guidance with menu selections and meeting on site prior to the event, Gary and his team were not only professional but the food was plentiful and delicious, bellies were both happy and full at our event. Would highly recommend, especially the pig on a spit – not only adds theatre to your event but tastes amazing too!

 Emma - Lusk

Hi

I just wanted to thank you all for the fabulous food on the 10th may.  Everyone was talking about how tasty the pig was!!  The weather couldn't have been worse, but your chef did an amazing job!

Many thanks

Eimear - Cartloe - May 2014

Gary,

Just a note to day that the pig and food were a great success.

Everyone enjoyed the food and raved about the pork. My party was so much the better of this and was itself a great success.

Vincent was an absolute star and gave all round support and really added to the event.

I would really appreciate if you could pass on these words of praise and thanks to Vincent.

He was terrific.

I’ve been asked by a number of my guests for your details and I think more will also come back to me.

Vincent and the pig were memorable.

Best regards,

Ann - Dublin - Sept 2013

Hi All

I wanted to say a huge thank you to you, and in particular Vincent and his very able assistant for making our christening such a wonderful event.  We thought the food would be good, which indeed it was, but what we didn’t expect was the incredible level of service.  Vincent and his assistant could not have been more helpful – offering to help in every situation (even putting out chairs, helping with drinks, whatever we needed).   Without even having to ask, they ensured all the leftovers were wrapped and put away tidy in our kitchen – an absolute dream to find everything so tidy and organised.  So thank you, thank you so much.  We would recommend you guys without hesitation.  All our guests thought you were brilliant too and you made the party.

 Terri - Waterford - August 2013

Dear Spitting pig,

This testimonal is for our wedding on the 16th august 2013 at the West Cork Hotel Skibbereen.

What can I say about the spread you provided for our wedding of eighty people. The pig, potato and salads were better than our expectations. The pig was cooked to perfection with more than enough for everyone, including seconds or thirds which I had myself. The best part was the crackling which I dream of even now. Vincent who was cooking on that day was really friendly and helpful. If we were to have a wedding again we would get the spitting pig back again, and we would recommend this company to anyone for their event.

Thanks again for a wonderful meal.

Liam and Jessica - West Cork - August 2013

Hi Gary

I just wanted to thank you for providing the excellent food for Thursday in Wanderers.  The service was A1 so please pass on our thanks to both Francis and Christian for how they managed it. They were absolutely on top of everything and attended to all so efficiently.   I shall certainly put your name out there in the event of future requirements.

Kind regards

Brid - Dublin September 2013

Hi Guys

Hi everyone

Just want to say thank you all very much for your hard work, and the food was excellent , everyone is still talking about the "pig" roll on next year!!!!

Kim - Carrigaline - September 2013
 

Hi

On behalf of Bob, Michael and myself and everyone who enjoyed Saturday 31^st celebration, we would like to extend a Big Thank You for making our 21^st Celebration Event such a great day. Your help on the weeks leading up to the event and on the day itself allowed it to run smoothly and keep everyone happy…we were even lucky enough to get the weather!

Appreciate the hard work,

Thanks again,

Joe Barrett - Director 

Dear Gary and all the team,

Just a quick email to say thank you for the Hog Roast on Sunday last, 18th August.  It was a big success and went down very well with all the guests - they all said the pig was so tender and tasty and they were hugely impressed.   In fact it was so good that my husband and I never even got a piece - we were so busy looking after everyone, it was all gone by the time we had everyone seated and eating!

Your team Apu and David were very friendly and professional in a nice low key way, and they set it all up nicely.  

Thanks and regards

Mary - Dublin August 2013

Gary

Both myself and Kevin really just wanted to thank you and your fantastic staff for the fabulous job you did catering for our wedding. It was simply perfect. Vincent could not have been easier, nicer, helpful, everything you need in a caterer, he is it. I was just amazed by his completely professional and relaxed manner, he completely made me feel at ease, even when we realised we didn't have all the right plates we needed, he just worked with what I had and didn't let me stress at all. It really was a pleasure to work with him, and all the staff were equally friendly and fantastic.

Then the food, god it just completely overcame all my expectations. I knew from the tasting the food was going to be yummy, but to see so much food on the day being served, and every bit of it was scrumptious. We have had so many people tell us that they are converted to pork since our wedding, really, those pigs were TASTY"!!!! Everyone loved it and to be honest, we just couldn't have been happier. With everything 

Can you please pass on out sincere thank you's to Vincent and all the staff that were there on the day. We will highly recommend you to everyone, and hopefully we will have another reason to get caterers in the future, and we know exactly where we will be going.

Thanks again for all your work and never ending patience with all my questions. We were blown away by your service and couldn't have been happier.

Thank you 

Joanne and Kevin (O'Neill :-) - Blackwater Castle - July 2013

Hi Gary

We had a superb day - the food went down a treat and the guys were very professional throughout. Thank you.

Linda. - Bray - August 2013

Hi Gary,

We had an excellent night and I have had great comments back about the food. 

Vincent and his partner did a great job for us and managed a bit of the “Loves & Fishes” as WE over sold on the tickets.  I don’t think there was a scrap of food left but nobody was turned away and I had no complaints about being left hungry.

I still have some brochures left from the last time Vincent was with us and will also refer people to your site.

Thanks again for your help in making our August weekend a memorable one for all our members and visiting competitors.

Regards,

Donal - Wexford  - August 2013

Hi Gary,

Many thanks again to you and your staff for fabulous food and a great catering experience

Everyone enjoyed it! Hopefully we might have another event next year.

All the best

Anna - Kerry - July 2013

Hi Gary,

I just wanted to say thanks so much to yourself and Francis. We had a great day, and everybody gave great feedback on the food, it was really really tasty. And Francis was fantastic, he arrived in plenty of time and had everything ready bang on time for us, which was great, and he was so efficient at setting up and cleaning up afterwards. So we were really impressed, and I'm sure we'll be back to you again next year.

Thanks again and best wishes for the future,

Dublin - June 2013

Hi, 

I wanted to write to you to say,  Thank You very much. Francis was wonderful on Saturday and very kindly interacted with all the guests. He was there in the background cooking away and when everyone was fed, he had all his gear cleared away in no time. Thank you Francis. 

Many people commented on the quality of the food and the lovely salads. We gave your details to people who asked where did we get the food from 

It was a great day, thank you for the great food and sending our guest into the evening with full bellies! 

Emma - Kilkenny - May 2013

Hi Gary

I was thoroughly impressed from start to finish with Spitting Pig.  Nothing was too much effort and it made the organisation of the fundraiser last Saturday so much easier.  It was a one stop shop and the food was amazing.  People are still talking about it, even those that didn't go! and the hog roast was delicious, really moist and tasty.   I would definitely use them again and can't thank them enough for replying promptly to any queries, a very professional outfit.
