HogFather

I booked the The HogFather - menu option 3 for a 60th birthday party last night and it was worth every penny! They were amazing hosts. They arrived on time, set up quickly with all their own equipment and tables etc. And had everything in place ready to serve guests without any interference with the party. They provided great quality food and were a good laugh with all the guests while serving. After they served everyone, they cleared up their equipment including the venue and collected all the used plates from the guests. They also left any uneaten foods in recyclable trays for the rest of the night and for us to take home. I couldn't recommend this company enough. Thank you for an amazing hog roast and buffet.

We were delighted when we had. ‘THe HOGFATHER’ last Saturday to feed our guests, arriving on time it was so easy they bring all they need, carve and serve. Our guests were delighted with the pork which was delicious, apple sauce, stuffing with a bread roll, I highly recommend the ‘HOGFATHER’.

A fantastic hog roast at my daughter's wedding party. Myself and my husband and everyone we spoke to thought it was wonderful and was so impressed with the portions, the high quality and taste of the meat. The range of salads were varied and of very good quality. There was plenty of food for the guests! Your service, friendliness and efficiency is second to none and I would highly recommend you to anyone. Thank you for a superb evening!

We had the hogfather for my son's wedding 29/07/17 it's was absolutely stunning well worth the money the men's who turned up were fantastic with all the guest there was more than enough for all would highly recommend them to anybody really enjoyed thank you very much hogfather (chris) regards Sammy bates.

Arranged for my wifes 50th birthday party. Excellent food / service / value for money. Would highly recommend.

We had the Hog Father to cater for our wedding. We were overwhelmed with the value for money and the amount of food to feed our guests. As our hog roast was booked for 6pm, we also opted for a mini buffet, which the Hog Father also catered for, to keep our guests well fed. The buffet was also value for money, with plenty of food. I would very much recommend the Hog Father and will definitely use them again for any other events.

The only thing you can say about Chris and his team is…. Epic. They catered the day and night at my wedding on the 20th of June at Rosedew Farm in Llantwit major and they were fantastic. We had the ploughmans lunch, the self serve roast and the buffet desert in the day and a hog roast with a chocolate fountain in the evening. It really was brilliant but a bit of advice is to tell people that the ploughmans was a starter as most people filled up with that and struggled with the mains! The quality of the ploughmans lunch was superb and using locally sourced food. I had loads of compliments for the size of the hampers and amount of food they contained. Again everyone filled up on that! Then the mains came and completely blew everyone away. The meat was tender and fantastically cooked. The idea of having a carver on each table helped people engage and mix which was great for our group and everyone loved it. There were a wide range of deserts for people to choose from at the desert buffet and even though we had a little accident with some of the kids collapsing the desert table, Chris and his team were able to get new and clean everything up super quick which was great. Then onto their namesake…. The hog roast! They catered for just over 120 people with ease and the food was simply to die for! The meat and crackling melted in your mouth and again…. Everyone absolutely loved it. Couldnt have asked for more from a caterer, great comms all the way through and was happy to make changes to his menu just to suit us. Couldn't recommend hog father any more highly and watch for his taster nights, well worth a look if your undecided but be warned. If you did you won't go anywhere else!Moreexpand_more

We Have used Hogfather the last two years will definitely be useing them again.

The Hogfather is quite simply 'amazing and second to none'. We chose Chris after he provided us with a taster of what he could do, his attention to detail is amazing, communication was excellent(very fast response to emails) he catered for our whole wedding at Dyffryn Springs, canapés, afternoon tea and hog roast in the evening, I'm vegetarian and Chris accommodated for this with delicious food, on the day he went far and beyond for us and all our guests, especially me (dress disaster-I found out that Chris waited in the rain for me outside the ladies to ensure I had some canapés! ) everyone commented how wonderful and delicious the food was, his staff were amazing and so polite…. If you are looking for a 5 star caterer… Chris is your man!

Fantastic hog roast, everyone at the party said it was amazing. Brilliant value for money you won't be disappointed. Very friendly hog father too !

We attended the taster this week at Rosedew Farm, where we will be getting married in December. We know we definitely made the right decision in booking HogFather. The canapés, starter and hog roast were all amazing. Thanks again to Chris and the team!

Attended a taster evening at Rosedew Farm yesterday and I have to say the food Hogfather provided was absolutely outstanding ! We are getting married in July this year and after the feast we received last night I for one can not wait to dine again with you guys ! Thank you so much !

Did the taster evening in rosedew Farm as we're getting married there in June. Hogfather was one of the caters we've been looking at so jumped at the chance to attend and see what they're about. We were met by waiters serving Canapé's and arrival drinks that were delicious and definitely a great start to our night. We had the opportunity to go and see the vendors that were there and get some ideas for our big day before being seated. For starters we had the posh ploughman's hamper which was great, at first it didn't look like a lot of food but served 10 adults ideally and with their use of fresh and locally sourced products it was definitely a winner for us. Then came the hog roast. Beautifully presented and even better tasting, thespecially pig looked cooked to perfection and the staff that were serving it were pleasant and professional. We highly recommend hogfather to anyone looking for a more personal and uniqie touch that is guaranteed to have everyone talking about the food at your event. We've booked and can't be more excited for the big day.

We booked the Hogfather for our wedding at the beautiful rosedew farm barn. Chris recommended the ploughmans hamper to start and it was beautiful, local produce, fresh bread and meats all of our guests thought it was the main meal and went down a treat! The starter was followed by joints of beef and fresh veg all served on plates, with guests doing the carving at each table, brilliant idea and had everyone laughing. Hogfather uses fresh and local ingredients, always available to ask any questions and even helped us with the running of our day. Our guests were amazed at the quality and individuality of our meal and I will definatly book the Hogfather in the future.

Booked The Hogfather for my Husband's surprise 50th party. I'm glad I did! All contact and decisions about food were easily sorted, e mail replies came back very quickly. On the night the food was set up very quickly and the staff were very friendly and helpful. There was lots of food and we had some the next morning to soothe the hangovers too! I had the quiche aswell and it was delicious. Everyone commented on how nice the meat was! Thanks to all the team for helping make the event special. I'd thoroughly recommend them anytime. Sally.

Contacted Hogfather and booked for joint 50th Birthday party. Hassle free booking and used PayPal to pay deposit- simples! Paid remainder of money into bank account before party so didn't need to go get money and carry large amounts on night of party. Ideal! Hogfather staff turned up with all equipment necessary, plates, cutlery, serviettes and of course, the Hog! All cooked and piping hot. Couldn't fault it really. They were fast, efficient and friendly so couldn't ask for more. Meat was cooked to perfection and we had the menu 2 which included salads and coleslaws also, all scrumptious. They cleared away everything afterwards, which was all part of the service. To tell the truth, I had phoned around a few companies and they are all roughly the same price, but the Hogfather team provided exceptional food, service and cleanliness, which is what you want. They had also been recommended by a friend. Thanks Hogfather for a memorable 50th Birthday meal - expect a call for our 60th party ?.Moreexpand_more

It was Day 2 of my daughter's wedding and Chris turned up full of fun and banter, always a good start! The meat was SO soft and delicious; and there were copious amounts. Of everything. Plenty to go round and seconds for some of the more hungover guests! We would definitely use The Hogfather in the future, and wholeheartedly recommend him.

We had booked the HogFather for a party at our home to celebrate my husband's 50th Birthday Party. I was very impressed that everytime I contacted the company about arrangements, I always had a prompt and helpful response. On the day, Chris arrived on time and set up his food area in our back garden. Within a very short time, our guests were queueing up for succulent roast pork, crispy crackling and plenty of salads etc. The pork was absolutely delicious and we had many compliments (which are all deserved by Chris) about how much the food was enjoyed. There was ample food to go round for our guests (50 +) in total and I know quite a few of them had more than one pork roll! I would thoroughly recommend the Hogfather to anyone considering organising an event. The service was exceptional, the food delicious, and Chris' serving area was the central point for the celebrations. Chris was very friendly and helpful throughout and made the event so easy. Chris set up for service very quickly and was equally prompt when clearing away. Many thanks to him for helping to make it a very special and memorable day for my husband.Moreexpand_more

We booked HogFather for our wedding. The quality of the pork and the side dishes, salads, pastas etc was superb. Service was excellent and was exactly to time and there was plenty of food to go around - twice! We have no hesitation in recommending Chris at HogFather.

We had the hog roast for our daughter's 18th birthday in the garden. The pork was amazing, the best I've ever tasted! The crackling was out of this world! The salads and stuffing were wonderful too! The service was brilliant, arrived at the time they said they would and served exactly on time! FAB.
