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.

Gourmet Hog Roast - co-founder Marco

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.

We hired The Gourmet Hog Roast for our wedding in May 2026 at Clock Barn Farm, Godalming and they were absolutely amazing. The food was frequently commented on as being some of the best wedding food guests had ever had! The portions were really generous and absolutely delicious (we opted for salmon, steak and lamb chops BBQ). The boys serving on the day were brilliant, set up smoothly and adapted to fit around our schedule of the day and were really friendly. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Anthony and his team hosted a fantastic Hog Roast for my 50th birthday at the Wimbledon RFC. Very professional service from beginning to end and I would not hesitate to use the company again and would recommend them to anyone wanting to host a hog roast. I had a lot of guests come up to me on the evening and the next day telling me how succulent the hog roast was and how much they enjoyed it, even the fussy eaters! There was absolutely no left overs which is always a good sign. The team were extremely punctual and polite on the day and set up and tidy up were done quickly and discreetly without any fuss. Thank you.

We hired them for an event in Poynings, and they were fantastic from start to finish. We couldn’t fault them, professional, polite, and incredibly accommodating throughout. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the food was excellent. It was a huge hit with our guests and received so many compliments. We would highly recommend them and would happily use them again for future events.

I recently attended a wedding where the food was provided by Gourmet Hogroast Company, and I can honestly say it was some of the best wedding food I’ve ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. The hog roast was absolutely incredible, and there was plenty of choice for everyone. Nick and his team were brilliant from start to finish, friendly, professional, organised, and clearly passionate about what they do. They helped make the day even more special, and so many guests were talking about how amazing the food was. If you’re looking for top-quality catering for a wedding or event, I would highly recommend Gourmet Hogroast Company. Fantastic food and fantastic service!
