Spitting Pig Pricing & Costs

Pricing for suppliers

Prices Start at
£1
Maximum price
£2
All of our menus are completely customisable and created bespoke for every event. We don’t work from set packages, as pricing is entirely dependent on a number of factors including your event date, location, guest numbers, menu choices and availability. Because every wedding and event is so different, costs can vary significantly depending on seasonality, travel, staffing requirements and the level of service you’re looking for. For this reason, we’re unable to provide a standard price range upfront. What we can do is work closely with you to design a menu and catering plan that suits your exact vision, requirements and budget. Once we have a few details, we’ll put together a tailored quote that reflects your event perfectly and ensures you’re getting the best possible value.

Our approach is simple: elevated food, beautifully presented, served with quiet confidence.

We create a dining moment that feels indulgent yet relaxed — the kind of experience that fits perfectly within country houses, barns, estates, marquees, and modern luxury venues.

Guests gather, the atmosphere builds, and the food becomes a natural focal point of the celebration.

We couldn’t recommend Rik and The Spitting Pig more highly.
Rik and the team at The Spitting Pig absolutely exceeded every expectation for our wedding. They catered a Texas‑themed BBQ, and it was honestly one of the highlights of the entire day. The food was incredible — beautifully cooked, packed with flavour, and served in generous portions. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about how amazing everything was, from the perfectly smoked meats to the delicious sides. It captured the authentic Texas BBQ experience we were hoping for and then some. What really set Rik apart was his professionalism, communication, and attention to detail. From the planning stages right through to the day itself, everything was seamless and completely stress‑free. The team was friendly, organised, and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran perfectly. If you’re looking for a caterer who delivers exceptional food and outstanding service, we couldn’t recommend Rik and The Spitting Pig more highly. They played a huge part in making our wedding unforgettable, and we’d book them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for helping make our special day so perfect!

Thank you for catering our event so well - 100/10
We had the most wonderful catering provided by Alistair and his team member. The food was absolutely amazing and so delicious, we received so many compliments from our guests and a lot of people went up for seconds! It was all presented wonderfully, everything was clearly labelled and those with allergies/dietary requirements feel at ease and were handled brilliantly. Alistair called us a few weeks before the event and was so friendly and chatty.

went over and above our expectations.
I want to write to say how absolutely amazing the team were Paul, Victoria and Connie were the most exceptional, unflappable and helpful trio. The weather on the day was challenging, to say the least and plans had to be adjusted to cook and serve the food, but nothing seemed to faze them and the food was absolutely beautiful. They were all so kind & hard working and should be commended for it. Will certainly recommend SP for its amazing food (huge portions), professionalism

Alistair and his team were absolutely incredible
Alistair and his team were absolutely incredible, from start to finish. The food was second to none and everybody at the event commented on how exceptional the food and service was. He arrived on time and left the area spotless when he left. I would definitely recommend Alistair and team at the Spitting Pig to anyone looking for a caterer for any event.

There was definitely enough food...
Apologies for the delay in coming back to you after the wedding last month – we are only now coming up for air after an incredibly busy few weeks but I wanted to say a big thank you to you all for all your help with the wedding. The whole weekend was a huge success and your involvement with keeping everybody fuelled on the Sunday was crucial and went v well so thank you! It was all great and there was definitely enough food to go round 😊

It was the most beautiful day!
It was the most beautiful day! As a bride with a fair few allergens, but loves bbq food, you guys did everything you could to accommodate for any dietary restrictions and make everyone comfortable! The prices were extremely reasonable, the bamboo plates were fantastic, the food was incredible and the team was so friendly. I couldn’t recommend enough.

Your professionalism, quality, and genuine passion
From our first conversations through to the last plate being cleared, your professionalism, organisation and attention to detail were second to none. The food was absolutely exceptional. We've had so many compliments about both the quality and presentation, and so many of our guests have said it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had. That is a real credit to everyone involved. Thank you once again for helping make our wedding day everything we had hoped for and more.

FAQs

What exactly is Spitting Pig?

Spitting Pig is the team that brings the wow factor to your wedding food. We specialise in premium hog roasts and beautifully curated menus cooked fresh on site. Think theatre‑style cooking, incredible aromas drifting through your venue, and guests gathering around with that “this smells unreal” excitement. We’re relaxed, friendly, and polished — the perfect mix for a modern wedding.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Unique, Bespoke, Diverse, Fun & Tasteful!

Do you only do hog roasts?

Nope! We’ve got canapés, feasting menus, BBQs, grazing tables, evening food — basically, if it tastes good at a wedding, we probably make it.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Always make sure that when designing your Wedding Invitations, you don’t forget to ask guests to RSVP with dietary requirement! This will help you save time and make things easier for you in the long run!

Is this suitable for a luxury or high‑end wedding?

Definitely. Our setup is sleek, our service is polished, and our presentation is beautiful. We work in barns, estates, manors, marquees, tipis, and modern venues — and our style fits them all. Couples love that we bring a relaxed, joyful atmosphere without compromising on quality or elegance.

Do you cater for vegans, veggies, and dietary needs?

Absolutely. We take dietary needs seriously — and creatively. Our vegan and vegetarian dishes are proper meals, not afterthoughts. Gluten‑free, dairy‑free, halal, allergies… we make sure every guest feels included and well fed.

How does everything work on the day?

We arrive early, set up quietly, and start cooking fresh on site. Your guests get the full sensory experience — the aroma, the theatre, the anticipation. When it’s time to serve, our team handles everything with warmth and professionalism. Afterwards, we clear down discreetly and leave the space spotless. You won’t have to lift a finger.

Can we customise the menu?

Of course! Want canapés + hog roast + BBQ sides + a grazing table? Done. Prefer a more formal plated feel? Also possible. We love helping couples build a menu that feels like them — fun, generous, and full of flavour.

What is the food of love?

Our Anti Pasti boards can be served for special sharing boards for intimate settings or an a more fun and interactive grazing table for sharing! Not only do they add vibrancy to your set up, they also include a bit of something for everyone!

Why do couples love booking you?

Because our food becomes part of the atmosphere. It’s generous, delicious, beautifully presented, and creates a moment guests remember. Couples tell us they love the relaxed luxury, the friendly team, and the way we make everything feel effortless. It’s catering that feels joyful — not formal or fussy.
