“Perfect, beautiful and wouldn't change a thing!!!”
Written on: 21/04/2013
We went to see Andrew "in the field" at an event and the food smelt Devine!! Prices are extremely competitive. We had the pork hog roast and all our guests commented on the "best crackling" ever. All the food was delicious and the layout was simply beautiful. To accompany the pork we had the salads plus 2 whole salmons topped with prawns…absolutely gorgeous!! Our wedding was simply wonderful, however, would not have been as good without the wonderful food by Andrew and his team!! Thanks... (read more)

“hog roast for a small wedding”
Written on: 20/08/2012 by fannygarstang
I don't think there are any more words that can be added to all the other reviews in way of description. Andrew had no problem with the bridal party watching him set up and taking photos and asking questions while the family dog twitched her nose. When my mum mentioned which part was her favourite he remembered and she got that piece at dinner time. The crackling was to die for and the meat was divine. It was worth every penny. He had no problem boxing up all the leftovers for us to take... (read more)

We loved the food! Andrew was very efficient, very professional, and put up with my emails and many changes of plan brilliantly. He even coped with a bit of off roading to get set up on the day. We had 100 guests and had the hog, some chicken for the kids, a veggie quiche and salad / desserts. There was enough for seconds and everybody commented on just how good the food was. We would like to thank Andrew for feeding our guests and helping make our day very special. If you need a hog,... (read more)

Andrew did a fantastic job! What an great addition to our Charity Golf Event. Not only did he make a fantastic job of the 'hog', he was also so friendly and sociable with our clients, and really couldn't do enough for us on the day (including helping with certain heavy lifting jobs that he had no obligation to get involved with). We'd like to thank Andrew from Ribble Valley Hog Roast for helping to create a fantastic experience - and an all round great day! (read more)

Plenty of pork left over which Andrew kindly dished up for us to keep eating through the night (and the morning!)

Review for Ribble Valley Hog Roast : Lets start by saying the food was outstanding. We decided to have a less formal wedding meal by having a hog roast rather than a sit down meal. We still did the full table layout but we thought the less formal buffet style service of a hog roast would work better. The service may have been less formal but the food and experience did not disappoint. I think every guest commented on the pork and how they had never tasted anything as good before. And that's...

Well organised and always delivers exactly what he says he will, always punctual. He brings all of his own equipment (gas cooker and gas) to cook on site, perhaps just needing an electrical power point. The food is of excellent quality, with the hog roast cooked thoroughly so that the meat is tasty and tender. The meat would be suitable as part of a buffet, etc. - we usually serve it in buns, more like a barbecue. If you are looking for a hog roast, I doubt you could improve on Ribble Valley... (read more)
