The Gourmet Hog Roast Company Ethos & Values

The company holds firm to its core values of bringing the traditional cooking styles of the UK, Mediterranean and African continent. We are fanatical about customer service, and are firm believers that the service received is as important as the taste of the food.

The Founding of The Gourmet Hog Roast Company

Founded in 2012 by Nick and Marco, The Gourmet Hog Roast Company began with humble origins in Wimbledon.

Both founders shared a passion for barbecuing for friends and family, leading them to create a catering company specializing in hog roasts and barbecues.

They identified a gap in the market for a high-quality service that offered delicious pork, avoiding dry meat served in cheap bread rolls.

Marco Nick Tagline 2012

Marco

Marco, a passionate South African, operated a small olive grove in Italy where he produced traditional cold-pressed olive oil.

Each year, he travelled to Italy to hand-pick the olives and manufacture the oil using traditional methods.

Nick

Nick spent seven years working alongside a pig farmer in Lincolnshire, where he developed a deep appreciation for fine meat production.

He was eager to bring this passion to their new catering venture.

Ghr Nick

Fast forward 12 years, and the company now boasts teams stretching across the UK, delivering the same high-quality hog roasts and barbecues that Nick and Marco have provided for over a decade.

They work closely with local butchers and suppliers to ensure that every event offers an excellent customer experience and delicious food.

I found this company while looking for somebody to do the cooking for a bbq for my husbands 70th birthday. They seemed to tick all the boxes and luckily were available. We live in Guildford in Surrey, so Anthony was allocated to be our chef and did a great job. Easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly. He had some challenges especially as it was a very hot day but he overcame those with no fuss. The food was excellent and many guests complimented us on how delicious it was… plus they look very professional when all set up in the garden! Would thoroughly recommend!

The Gourmet Hog Company were perfect for our BBQ for 30+ people. Set up quietly; the food was awesome, the waitresses great and there was nothing to clear up at the end. I highly recommend them.

My partner and I recently used the Gourmet Hog Roast company for our wedding in Pontardawe in May 2026 with 75 guests. We had canapés, the main hog roast with salads and sides and toasties in the evening. The food and service were absolutely flawless. Nick and his team arrived on time and were professional and friendly for the duration of the event, providing us with samples throughout the day as the delicious hog was roasting! Our guests absolutely loved everything - the food, the presentation and the fantastic staff. Couldn’t recommend this company more highly! 5 stars without a doubt! Thank you all again!

Eel Pie Island - Wedding - June 2026 The food was delicious and received many complements from the guests. Anthony is great. The venue is not the easiest to set up and the weather was a bit challenging but the team were friendly, efficient and adjusted the service as necessary so all went extremely well. A** for everyone at The Gourmet Hog Roast Company
